About 1 mile northeast of Huntington Beach in Huntington Beach: AltaMed Medical Group is a full-service clinic that treats STIs, manages HIV and hepatitis, and offers prevention tools—all in one place.

A clinic that treats, not just screens
AltaMed isn't a testing-only drop-in; it's a medical home where you can get tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, TB, and HIV, then walk out with treatment the same day if you have a bacterial STI. If you're HIV-positive or have hepatitis B or C, the clinic manages your care directly—no referral shuffle. You'll need an appointment, but that structure means you're not waiting in a crowd.
Prevention woven into every visit
Whether you're negative and want to stay that way, or positive and managing your health, AltaMed offers PrEP, PEP, doxy-PEP, and vaccines (mpox, HPV, hepatitis A and B). Counseling and education on HIV, STI, hepatitis, and TB prevention are built in, not tacked on. Condoms are free.
Cost: sliding scale, insurance welcome
There is a fee, but AltaMed uses a sliding scale based on income—Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are all accepted. If you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, the sliding scale makes it more affordable than a standard visit fee.
Spanish-language care and substance-abuse support
Staff offer interpretation in Spanish. If you're managing addiction alongside sexual health, AltaMed has substance-abuse treatment on-site, plus medication adherence counseling—useful if you're starting PrEP or HIV treatment and need help staying consistent.

A clinic built for sexual health, start to finish
Planned Parenthood in Westminster handles testing, treatment, and prevention all at once.

Here's how reported STI rates in Orange County — the county that includes Huntington Beach — compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

Orange County HIV care continuum (2023)
Orange County recorded 9.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally.
Among Orange County residents living with HIV, 80.3% know their status · 71.3% are in care · 64.8% 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 the county health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Orange County tests for syphilis.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a Huntington Beach-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving Huntington Beach often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits
bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in California
The questions Huntington Beach residents ask most before testing, answered under California law — which sets confidentiality and consent the same way statewide. Prefer to keep your name off the record? See our guide to anonymous STD testing.
Can a minor consent?
In California, minors aged 12 and older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own — no parental permission is required.
Will it show on my insurance?
If you use health insurance, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may be mailed to the policyholder. Under HIPAA you can ask your insurer in writing to send communications confidentially. To keep a test fully private, choose a self-pay private lab, an at-home kit, or a public health clinic — none of these bill your insurance.
Anonymous & no-insurance options
Public health clinics and at-home kits let you test without involving insurance or your regular doctor. Many California health departments offer free or low-cost STI testing, and several sites provide anonymous HIV testing.
Can my partner be treated too?
Yes. California permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication to pass to your partner — no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
