HIV/STI's

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections caused by bacteria or viruses that are passed through oral, anal, or vaginal sex. The Long Beach Department of Health & Human Services HIV/STI Surveillance Program collaborates with clinicians, community-based organizations, and stakeholders within our City to prevent and address high STI rates. The infections we are responsible for tracking are chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. We work with providers and patients to ensure people are educated on and treated for their infections. The program provides partner services to inform partners who may have been exposed and to prevent re-infection. The program collects and reports data to track STIs/HIV in our community.  The information on this page caters to clinicians and residents by providing information on STIs and HIV, knowledge of sexual health resources in the community, and data related to these infections.
