Confidentiality and Privacy
Your STI testing results are private and protected under HIPAA. At CityHealth San Leandro, we do not share your test results with anyone without your consent. Results are not reported to your employer or family members.
Note: Some STIs (including HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis B) are reportable to the Alameda County Public Health Department under California law. This is standard public health practice and does not involve your personal details being shared publicly.
PrEP and HIV Prevention
CityHealth San Leandro can discuss PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV prevention with high-risk individuals. PrEP (Truvada or Descovy) is highly effective at preventing HIV transmission when taken consistently. Our providers can assess whether you’re a candidate for PrEP and provide referrals to long-term PrEP prescribing providers in the East Bay.

FAQ — STI Testing in San Leandro
Is STI testing at urgent care confidential?
Yes. Your test results are protected under HIPAA and will not be shared with your employer, family, or anyone else without your consent. Certain infections are reportable to public health authorities under California law, but this is done without identifying personal information.
How soon can I get tested after a possible exposure?
Testing too soon after an exposure can result in false negatives because the infection hasn’t built up to detectable levels. General guidelines: gonorrhea and chlamydia — 1 week; syphilis — 3–6 weeks; HIV — 18–45 days for most reliable results (4th-gen test). Talk to our provider about timing and whether you should consider PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV.
Does CityHealth San Leandro offer anonymous STI testing?
We provide confidential testing (results tied to your name but not shared). Fully anonymous testing (no name attached) is available at some Alameda County Public Health clinics. For most purposes, confidential testing at CityHealth is equivalent in terms of privacy.
