Evara Health in Clearwater schedules appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB testing: all on a sliding-scale fee, with bacterial infections treated the same visit, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines available, and every service provided at no cost.
Sliding-scale clinics routinely carry a floor, a minimum charge that remains no matter how tight finances are. Evara Health removes that floor entirely: every service, from the initial test to treatment to vaccines, is provided at no fee.
For someone managing STI care, substance-use treatment, or family planning without a regular Spanish-speaking provider, the difference between translated care and native-language care is clinical precision. Evara Health in Clearwater delivers services directly in Spanish, keeping nothing mediated or approximate.
When substance use and sexual health are both on the table, the person managing both benefits most from a clinic where neither requires a separate referral chain. Evara Health holds substance-use treatment and full STI care under the same appointment structure, so both get addressed in the same clinical relationship.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pinellas County, the county that includes Bardmoor, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#29 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 57% of the state
| Infection | Pinellas County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 440.6 4,237 cases ▼ 12% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 186.9 1,797 cases ▼ 10% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 37.5 361 cases ▲ 94% | 19.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 21.4 206 cases ▼ 15% | 25.1 | 16 |

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 Pinellas County, chlamydia has risen from 419.1 to 440.6 per 100,000 (5%), gonorrhea has risen from 173.5 to 186.9 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 22.5 to 37.5 per 100,000 (67%).

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 Pinellas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Pinellas 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.
Pinellas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pinellas County recorded 17.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Pinellas County residents living with HIV, 81.6% know their status · 88.1% are in care · 78.6% 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 Pinellas County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Lake Seminole Park anchors the quieter western edge of Bardmoor, where long driveways and well-kept lots signal a community that has largely stayed put. That settled character shows in the numbers: the overwhelming majority of residents here own their homes, many of them in households built around couples and families averaging just over three people. That kind of stability is genuinely valuable, but it can also mean that routine health maintenance, including STI screening, gets quietly folded into a longer mental list of things to schedule eventually.
The practical complication is that the options listed on this page require a drive, mostly along CR 694 or Bryan Dairy Road, to reach clinics in and around Bardmoor. For the roughly three in five residents who are in the workforce, carving out a weekday appointment means coordinating around shifts or commutes, and for households where one partner handles most scheduling, solo follow-through can stall. Young adults in their late teens and twenties, though a smaller share of this population than in more transient places, are still the group most likely to have recently changed partners or circumstances, and they benefit most from options that do not require extensive advance planning.
Cost tends to be less of a barrier for the significant share of Bardmoor households with six-figure incomes, but nearly a third of residents fall outside that bracket, and for renters paying around $1,290 a month, a clinic visit with any out-of-pocket cost is a real line item worth checking in advance against what each listed option actually charges.
Getting there
Bardmoor scores 11.39/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
