Where teens can get tested for STDs

These health centers have teen clinics, which are staffed by teens for teens. Peer counselors can answer your questions about sex and help you get confidential services, including family planning counseling, birth control, and pregnancy, STD and HIV testing. Most clinics charge sliding scale fees based on your income, making many services free.

You can also call the STD Hotline at (800) 758-0880 to get information on STDs, free condoms sent to you by mail and referrals to health clinics that offer STD and HIV testing. Or go to www.lapublichealth.org/std. To order a free home test kit, go to DontThinkKnow.org.

Planned Parenthood has 12 health clinics in Los Angeles County that provide confidential reproductive health care including abortions. Call (800) 230-PLAN to schedule an appointment and find the location nearest you. Or go to plannedparenthood.org and click on the “Info for Teens” link.
