Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Los Angeles County HIV care continuum (2023)
Los Angeles County recorded 19.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Los Angeles County residents living with HIV, 91.6% know their status · 72.8% are in care · 65.2% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Los Angeles County tests for syphilis.

Slauson Avenue cuts through the daily rhythm of Maywood in ways that reveal a lot about who lives here: households running large, renting rather than owning, and stretching a modest monthly budget across several people under one roof. For younger adults navigating that kind of financial reality, routine health care is something that competes with rent, work schedules, and family obligations, not something that slots in easily. That pressure lands hardest on the people most likely to benefit from regular STI screening: those in their late teens and twenties, the crowd cycling through new relationships and life transitions, whose testing rates tend to track closely with how convenient access actually is.
With roughly three-quarters of residents renting and the typical household size well above the national norm, the practical math of a weekday clinic appointment (missed hours, transit time, shared childcare) can quietly add up. Nearly two-thirds of Maywood's adults are active in the workforce, and unemployment here runs higher than in many surrounding communities, which means income uncertainty is real for a meaningful share of households. The listed options on this page, spread across varying hours and fee structures, give residents in Bell and Bandini the kind of scheduling range that makes testing a practical errand rather than a planned event.

Confidentiality & consent in CaliforniaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on California law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
California permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
