California law requires health care providers to report chlamydia (including LGV), gonorrhea,  PID, and chancroid within 7 calendar days of diagnosis and to report syphilis within 1 working day. The reporting of STDs does not require patient consent and does not contradict the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule.

If you have questions about reporting, please call (213) 744-3106.
