Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Coastal Community Health Services in Orange Park runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, with Medicare and private insurance also accepted. The standard panel covers rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB, appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP and PEP on hand.
Coastal Community Health Services carries both PrEP and PEP in-house, which means the clinician managing your testing is the same one writing the prescription. No handoff to a separate provider and no gap between a result and a prevention plan.
Plenty of STI clinics cap their panel at the four bacterial and viral basics and send hepatitis screening elsewhere. Coastal Community Health Services folds hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing directly into its panel, so a single appointment covers both the infections most clinics track and the ones they typically don't.

Florida Department of Health in Clay County, in Orange Park, runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, bacterial infections treated the same visit, with sliding-scale fees and no-fee services available.
All services at Florida Department of Health in Clay County are provided at no fee, which means the full scope of testing, treatment, and prevention, from hepatitis C care to DoxyPEP, stays within reach without a cost calculation at checkout.
Leaving a clinic with only a test result and no prevention plan means tracking down a separate prescriber for PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP. A gap that delays protection. Florida Department of Health in Clay County prescribes all three at the same appointment where testing happens.
At Florida Department of Health in Clay County, a hepatitis C diagnosis moves directly into treatment: antiviral therapy is prescribed and monitored by clinical staff on-site, so viral load follow-up and medication management happen within the same facility rather than requiring a separate specialist referral.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clay County, the county that includes Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#43 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 36% of the state
| Infection | Clay County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 340.7 792 cases ▼ 32% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 114.4 266 cases ▼ 45% | 206.7 | 179.5 |

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Clay County, chlamydia has fallen from 352.8 to 340.7 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 144.3 to 114.4 per 100,000 (21%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5 to 11.2 per 100,000 (124%).

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 Clay County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clay County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clay County recorded 14.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clay County residents living with HIV, 80.2% are in care · 69.8% 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 Clay County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Blanding Boulevard cuts through the everyday rhythm of Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, and the households anchored along it reflect a community where most residents rent rather than own, average households run to more than three people, and nearly half of adults are navigating family life as married partners. Those realities shape how health decisions get made: a parent balancing rent around eleven hundred dollars a month against school pickups and shared schedules is weighing every appointment against time and cost in ways that a solo professional simply isn't.
That household character matters because a substantial share of residents falls in the age range when STI transmission is most common, the late teens and twenties years when people are forming new relationships and routine screening tends to get deferred rather than planned. With fewer than one in seven households clearing six figures, the fee structure and insurance flexibility of the options listed on this page carry real weight. Getting to one of those clinics means a drive, typically out along SR 21 or across the I-295 interchange toward the broader Jacksonville corridor, so knowing which sites offer same-week slots reduces the odds that a busy week makes the appointment disappear.
Clay County's STI figures are already visible on this page, and for anyone living near Alexander Pointe or spending evenings at L C Ringhaver Park, those county-level numbers are the local baseline, not a distant statistic. Staying current with screening means the numbers stay a backdrop rather than a personal reality.
Getting there
At 9.78/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
