Rated 5 out of 5 from 4 reviews

AltaMed Medical Group in Los Angeles tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee structure accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. Appointments are required, and same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs. Spanish-language care is provided throughout.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis C on the Same Panel

Plenty of STI clinics test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and nothing further. Herpes and hepatitis C get left off the order. AltaMed's panel includes both, meaning hepatitis C antibody testing and herpes diagnostics happen at the same appointment rather than requiring a separate referral to another provider.

Three Prevention Medications, One Prescribing Clinic

AltaMed carries PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP: three distinct prevention regimens with different indications, dosing schedules, and follow-up requirements. Having all three available at a single prescribing clinic means ongoing PrEP monitoring, PEP initiation, and DoxyPEP access don't require splitting care across separate facilities.

Spanish Spoken Throughout, No Coordination Required

For a patient whose primary language is Spanish (whether navigating a new diagnosis, discussing PrEP adherence, or working through a treatment plan) AltaMed in Los Angeles delivers care directly in Spanish. That means clinical conversations, medication counseling, and follow-up happen without mediation.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 192 reviews

Planned Parenthood los Angeles in Huntington Park tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee with no appointment required; bacterial infections treated same visit, and Spanish is spoken on staff.

Read full overview

Spanish Spoken Here, Diagnosis Follows Clearly

Planned Parenthood los Angeles in Huntington Park has Spanish-speaking staff, which means the conversation about symptoms, results, and next steps happens in the language the patient already uses for those words. Reducing the gap between what a clinician explains and what a patient actually retains and acts on.

Title X Confidentiality Is Legally Binding for Minors

As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood los Angeles in Huntington Park is legally required to keep services for minors confidential: not as a policy preference but as a federal mandate, meaning parental notification is prohibited, and the clinic's billing and records structure is built to enforce that separation.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Without a Separate Referral Appointment

Without PrEP and PEP available at the same site as testing, a patient leaves with information and a gap. Days or weeks before a prescription exists anywhere. Planned Parenthood los Angeles in Huntington Park writes both prescriptions in-house, so prevention starts at the same visit where risk is identified.

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 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.

Confidentiality & consent in California Minor 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.
