Orange County – November 07, 2026 -- Radiant Health Centers, an LGBTQ+ medical clinic in Irvine and Santa Ana, offers confidential STD testing and treatment, and the clinic says catching an infection early can head off lasting health problems.

STDs can affect people of all ages, races, genders and sexual orientations. They do not always cause obvious symptoms, so an infection can go unnoticed without testing.

Case managers step in to coordinate appointments, connect patients with support and provide guidance.

Health needs change over time, and preventive appointments give providers a fuller picture of a patient's health history. That allows them to build a care plan around the individual's specific needs and life experiences.

Programs teach patients to evaluate online health information

Daily habits are part of the curriculum

Sessions address nutrition, physical activity, sleep and stress management. The aim is to help patients see how these factors connect and to build practical habits that affect both physical and mental well-being.
