Beverly Hills, CA, isn’t immune to the STD outbreak in Los Angeles County. The embattled area’s number of new chlamydia cases jumped from 50,957 new cases in 2013 to 64,326 in 2017.
Gonorrhea infections are also going up, with the county’s number of new diagnoses at 13,062 in 2013 to more than double, 26,108 in 2017. More than half of all new cases are men. Of the 26,108 new diagnoses in 2017, only 7,645 were women.
Syphilis is increasing—Between 2013 and 2017, the number of new cases went from 1,109 to 1,998.
Leaders in the state and county consider the ever-rising number of STD and HIV infections a public health crisis. Together with health officials, they are attempting to increase STD awareness and community access to STD testing, treatment, and other services to lower these alarming rates.
There are dozens of sites in Beverly Hills that provide STD testing services.
UCLA Primary and Specialty Care offer STD screenings at their facility on the corner of Brighton Way and Bedford Dr. The #20 Wilshire/Brighton bus stops two blocks from the center.
The nearest Planned Parenthood is on N San Vicente Blvd at the West Hollywood Health Center. There are several bus routes that pick up and drop off at the nearby corner of San Vincente Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd.
Some locations might offer free STD testing or HIV screenings. You will need proof of income for these services. Keep in mind they may not have convenient appointment hours and walk-in times are often limited.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2Â provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.Â

STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.Â
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.Â
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.Â
