Quick answer: You can get a private STD test near you in Long Beach, CA today – go to any of the 5 locations listed below. No appointment, no exam, no insurance. Results in 1–2 business days in your private account.
Long Beach has five of our testing locations: Elm Avenue downtown by St. Mary Medical Center, Termino Avenue in the Belmont Heights medical cluster, Atlantic Avenue near Long Beach Memorial, Woodruff Avenue in East Long Beach and Downey Avenue in North Long Beach. Around the city there are more in Torrance, Downey, Seal Beach, San Pedro, Los Alamitos, Bellflower and Huntington Beach.
Getting tested here is not a clinic visit. You order first, online or by phone, your lab order reaches the test center in 2–3 minutes, and you go in when it suits you. The lab does not sell tests or take payment; you sign in at the kiosk with your name and date of birth, give a small blood or urine sample, and you are back in the car in about five minutes. Your visit does not announce why you are there: our partner labs collect samples for many different kinds of testing, and to other people in the waiting room you are simply another person having a routine lab visit.
If you’re worried, you’re already halfway to feeling better.
Most people put off getting tested because they’re scared of the answer, embarrassed to ask, or don’t know where to go without it turning into a whole ordeal. In Long Beach, it doesn’t have to be. You pick a location below, go in when it suits you, and have a clear answer in a day or two – privately.

STDs in Long Beach: what the numbers say
Long Beach runs its own health department, and its numbers have moved the wrong way: gonorrhea up 59% and congenital syphilis up more than 600% in the five years before the pandemic, in a county that reports more chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis than any other in the country. Most of these infections cause no symptoms at all, which is the case for a routine test when you feel fine, not just when something seems wrong.
The people hit hardest are the ones least likely to have a doctor to call: nearly half of all chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases nationally are in people aged 15 to 24, and Cal State Long Beach alone enrolls about 40,000 of them. The Long Beach Health Department's sexual health clinic on Grand Avenue tests and treats for free or a low fee, and it is a real option if cost is the only barrier, but it means clinic hours, a wait, and a visit that goes on file with the clinic.
That is who we built this for. No insurance, no referral, no exam, one flat price, five places to go inside Long Beach and a dozen more around it, and a result in your private account in 1–2 business days. If something comes back positive, our care team calls you and, for most infections, treatment is a short prescription.

Questions people in Long Beach ask us
Is there free STD testing in Long Beach?
Yes. The Long Beach Health Department's sexual health clinic on Grand Avenue tests and treats for free or a low fee, and the LGBTQ Center Long Beach and Planned Parenthood offer free or sliding-scale testing. If cost is the only thing stopping you, use them. The trade-offs are clinic hours, a wait, a visit that goes on file with the clinic, and results that can take longer. We are a paid service, and what you pay for is speed and privacy: order today, go to any of our labs without an appointment, no exam, nothing billed to insurance, and a result in your own account in 1–2 business days.
Can I get an STD test at CVS or Walgreens in Long Beach?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in Long Beach do offer STD testing, but it is a clinic visit: you book, see a provider, the visit is billed to insurance or paid out of pocket at clinic prices, and the visit goes on file with the clinic. Walgreens sells at-home collection kits you mail in. With us there is no exam and no appointment; the doctor's order is included, you give the sample at a lab in about five minutes, and the charge on your card shows as RSC Health.
How much does an STD test cost in Long Beach?
One flat price that includes the doctor’s order, the lab visit and your results – no facility fees, no separate lab bill and nothing billed to insurance. Call (866) 872-1888 and a care advisor will quote it in about a minute, or see the Tests & Pricing page if you prefer to order online.
Which Long Beach lab is closest to downtown, Cal State Long Beach or the 405?
From downtown, the Pike or the port, Elm Avenue at St. Mary is minutes away. From Cal State Long Beach, Belmont Shore or Naples, Termino Avenue is closest. From the 405, Signal Hill or Bixby Knolls, use Atlantic Avenue, and from Lakewood or the 91, Woodruff Avenue or Downey Avenue.
Can I get tested on a Saturday in Long Beach?
Yes. Two Long Beach locations open Saturday from 8 AM to noon: Atlantic Avenue near Memorial and Downey Avenue in North Long Beach. The other three are weekdays only. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting.
Do I have to live in Long Beach to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Orange County, the South Bay and the Gateway Cities every day. If Torrance, Downey, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos or Huntington Beach is closer to home or work, each has its own page with addresses and hours.
Will my Long Beach employer, school or parents find out?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing appears on a family plan statement, and we never mail anything. Your results are posted only to your password-protected account, the lab staff see a lab order rather than a reason, and the charge on your card reads RSC Health.
Where can I get tested for STDs near me in Long Beach?
At any of the 5 locations on this page. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive – the lab itself does not sell tests or take payment.
What if I’m too embarrassed to go in?
You don’t have to explain anything at the lab. They see a lab order, take a small sample, and you leave. Nobody asks why you’re there, and to the other people in the waiting room it’s a routine lab visit – our partner labs collect samples for many kinds of testing.
How soon after exposure can I test?
It depends on the infection – some show up in days, others take a few weeks. Call us and we’ll tell you the right timing for your situation so you don’t get a false “all clear.”
What if it’s positive?
Most STDs are cured with medication, and the rest are managed with treatment that lets you live normally. Our care team calls you, explains the result in plain language, and sets up a physician consultation – a prescription, an in-person visit or a referral, depending on the infection.
Do I need an appointment or a doctor?
No. The doctor’s order is included when you order, and every location takes you without an appointment once you’ve ordered.
Will this show up on my insurance?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing goes to your insurer and nothing appears on a parent’s or spouse’s insurance statement.
How fast are results?
Most results are ready in 1–2 business days and are posted to your private online account. Results are never mailed or texted.
