Staff Speak Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese Directly
Many clinics handle language through add-on services that put a layer between patient and provider. At Friends of Family Health Center, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese are spoken by staff themselves. Meaning clinical conversations happen in the room, with the person actually delivering care.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Managed Here
Friends of Family Health Center prescribes all three current HIV and bacterial STI prevention medications: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention with lab monitoring built into the care cycle, PEP for post-exposure HIV prevention, and DoxyPEP. The doxycycline-based protocol taken after potential bacterial STI exposure. Each requires its own clinical pathway, and all three are handled here.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel
Friends of Family Health Center holds the standing capability to test for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C. Infections that a shorter panel omits entirely. For anyone without a regular provider who needs a thorough baseline workup, or who is paying out of pocket and wants comprehensive results in a single visit, that expanded scope means fewer gaps and fewer separate appointments to arrange.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Montclair, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among San Bernardino County residents living with HIV, 78% know their status · 69.6% are in care · 62.3% are virally suppressed.

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 San Bernardino County tests for syphilis.

With the testing options listed here, the practical question shifts from *whether* to find a place to *which one fits the day you actually have*. That question carries real weight for a city where nearly half of households rent and typical monthly costs leave limited room for anything that feels optional. Younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STIs circulate most actively, are disproportionately in that renting half, often working variable hours reflected in a labor-force participation rate that leaves some months leaner than others. When seven and a half percent of workers are currently between jobs, an unexpected medical bill is a reason to delay, not just a minor inconvenience.
Free and low-cost options on this page exist precisely for that gap. The larger households common in Montclair, averaging well above four people, also mean that one person's health decision ripples outward quickly. Edison Historic District and the streets running off Holt Boulevard house many of those families, and the clinics reachable from that corridor mean screening doesn't require a half-day commitment or a drive toward the I-10 interchange.

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.
