Sexual health has always been important, but there is something rather different about this moment in Los Angeles. This year, we have more awareness of sexual health, testing options, access to testing, community conversation, and public health awareness than any time in the past. In 2025, STD testing will be about personal empowerment rather than fear. When you know your sexual health status, you can make informed choices for yourself, protect yourself and engage in healthier relationships. The landscape of the city is changing too, just like the health culture. For those of you dating, or just entering a relationship, or considering non-monogamy, or just being the best version of yourself, this is the year to add STD testing to your sexual wellness routine. Being informed about your sexual health is a form of self-care you can buy in a busy, connected city like LA.
