AHF Wellness Centers are designed to make testing and treatment for STDs accessible, convenient, and affordable, as well as to encourage regular sexual health screenings for all sexually active people. Services offered include free HIV testing as well as free screening and treatment for Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

“We are so excited to open our newest Wellness Center in our facility on N. Western Avenue in Hollywood and expand our capacity to offer STD and HIV screenings for sexually active adults in a convenient, confidential environment,” said Albert Ruiz, director of AHF’s Wellness Center Programs. “We will initially offer services three days a week at our new Western Ave. location, with plans to expand those hours as we spread the word to potential and current patients who may already be using our Wellness Center in the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center Doctor's Tower, located at 1300 N. Vermont Ave. Suite 407. With our new location on N. Western Ave. being less than one block from the Hollywood/Western metro stop, we want to make it as easy as possible for Angelenos —especially young adults—to make routine STD screenings a key component of their plans for healthy living.”

AHF operates 21 Wellness Centers in the District of Columbia and eight states, including Florida, California, Illinois, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Texas and Washington. For more information about Wellness Center services and locations, please visit www.freestdcheck.org.
