Read full overviewShow less
A clinic built for real access
Planned Parenthood California Central Coast in Oxnard handles testing, treatment, and prevention all in one appointment. Whether you need to screen for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, or HIV, or you're looking to start PrEP or get an HPV vaccine, the clinic treats bacterial infections on the spot and connects you to ongoing care for anything that needs it.
Testing and treatment without the wait
You'll be tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV. Bacterial STIs are treated the same visit. If you're uninsured and interested in PrEP, the clinic covers the cost; doxy-PEP (an antibiotic taken after potential exposure to prevent bacterial STIs) and PEP for HIV exposure are also available. Condoms and prevention education are part of the conversation.
Cost that fits your situation
There's no free testing here, but the clinic runs on a sliding scale—what you pay depends on your income. Medicaid and insurance are accepted. If you're uninsured, PrEP itself is covered; you'll pay a visit fee on the sliding scale. Spanish interpretation is available.
Best for people who need flexibility and affordability
Appointments are required, so plan ahead. This clinic is ideal if you're uninsured or underinsured and want one place to handle testing, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, and prevention all at once—especially if you speak Spanish or need it.

A clinic built for testing and treatment together
Dignity Health handles the full arc: you come in for testing (HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C), and if you test positive for a bacterial STI, treatment happens the same visit. If you're on PrEP or considering it, or if you've had a potential exposure and need PEP, they manage that here too. For hepatitis B and C, or HIV, ongoing treatment is available on-site, not just the initial test.
Prevention woven into every visit
Beyond testing and treatment, Dignity Health offers STI and HIV prevention education, test counseling, and the hepatitis B vaccine. If you're thinking about PrEP as a longer-term strategy, they can start you there. The clinic treats prevention as part of the same conversation as diagnosis.
Cost on a sliding scale; appointments required
There's a fee for visits, but it slides based on income—you won't pay the same amount as someone earning more. Medicaid and insurance are accepted. You'll need to book an appointment ahead of time. If English isn't your first language, interpretation services are available.
Best for people managing ongoing care
Dignity Health suits anyone who wants testing plus the option to stay for treatment or prevention in the same place—especially useful if you're starting or refilling PrEP, managing hepatitis, or living with HIV and need continuity of care.

Local context
About Oxnard, CA
Many households speak limited English, making bilingual care valuable. Oxnard (Ventura, California) is a large city. The nearest town over is Port Hueneme, and the workforce leans toward trades and service jobs, with about 18% college-educated. Clinics are nearby but often busy, so at-home kits and telehealth offer a faster, more private route.

Here's how reported STI rates in Ventura County — the county that includes Oxnard — compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~30% of Ventura County residents are aged 15–34 (ACS) — the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally, which is why local screening access matters here.
Lower chlamydia rate than 38% of the state's 58 counties (ranked #23)

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 Ventura County residents living with HIV, 76.6% are in care · 63.7% are virally suppressed.

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 Ventura County tests for syphilis.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a Oxnard-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving Oxnard 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 Oxnard 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.
