There were 127 new HIV diagnoses in East Baton Rouge Parish in 2023. HIV is the one infection where how soon you test changes which test you need — an RNA test detects it far earlier than a standard antibody test.
East Baton Rouge Parish reported 4,715 chlamydia cases in 2023, a rate of 1,051.4 per 100,000 residents. That is above the national average, which is why routine testing matters here more than it does in most of the country — and most people who have chlamydia or gonorrhea have no symptoms at all, so waiting for something to feel wrong is not a strategy.
HIV prevention & treatment
PrEP, DoxyPEP & Online Treatment
A test result is the start, not the end. If you are negative and want to stay that way, PrEP and DoxyPEP cut the risk of a future infection. If you are positive, most STIs can be treated without setting foot in a clinic. Both are available to people in Merrydale by video visit, prescribed by clinicians licensed in Louisiana.
