The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s Sexual Health Program offers free sexually transmitted disease screening, treatment and education specifically for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community (though everyone is welcome). Routine testing is available on a walk-in basis. STD screenings are offered to anyone undergoing HIV testing as well. Full screenings are available; testing is done on a walk-in basis only. For treatment, same-day or next-day appointments are often available, and you can schedule an appointment by phone or in person at the registration desk. The average visit takes 1-2 hours. It’s important to test for STDs on a regular basis; we encourage individuals who are sexually active to get tested every 6 months. Many people who have an STD do not have symptoms, so they don’t even suspect they are infected. Fortunately, most STDs can be successfully treated, without long-term side effects, if treatment begins early. Frequently Asked Questions about STDs What is an STD? What are symptoms of an STD?
