Caring Hearts Family Medical Centers in Palm Springs schedules appointments for STI care, so same-day walk-ins aren't the model here, but a booked visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, bacterial treatment, and counseling, with fees billed through Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance.

FoundCare in Palm Springs is a community health center where STI care sits alongside primary and infectious-disease medicine: meaning gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis, and HIV are all tested and treated here, walk-ins welcome, every service at no fee.
When cost splits care into pieces (a test here, a follow-up somewhere else, a prescription deferred) infections stay untreated and spread. At FoundCare, no fee attaches to any service on the list: testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, PrEP, PEP, hepatitis treatment, HIV medical care. None of it generates a bill.
When the clinical encounter runs through a language someone doesn't fully command, the nuance that determines a correct diagnosis or adherence plan gets lost, and the gap shows up later as a missed dose or a return visit for the same infection. FoundCare delivers care directly in French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, so nothing between symptom and treatment is approximate.
FoundCare holds Ryan White Program funding, which means HIV-positive patients move from rapid or conventional HIV testing into ongoing antiretroviral medical management within the same organization. The funding sustains both the diagnosis and the long-term treatment relationship, with medication adherence counseling built into that continuum.

STD stats & rates

An estimated ~46% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#25 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 63% of the state
| Infection | Palm Beach County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 457.5 7,017 cases ▼ 8% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 144.7 2,220 cases ▼ 30% | 206.7 | 179.5 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Palm Beach County, chlamydia has risen from 382.8 to 457.5 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has risen from 107.2 to 144.7 per 100,000 (35%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.2 to 11.7 per 100,000 (43%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Palm Beach County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Palm Beach County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Palm Beach County HIV care continuum (2023)
Palm Beach County recorded 20 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Palm Beach County residents living with HIV, 85.9% know their status · 74.4% are in care · 67% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Palm Beach County tests for syphilis.

Two things that actually depend on Florida law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Florida permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
