Langley Health Services in Ocala pairs gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C testing with same-visit bacterial treatment, so a single appointment can close the loop on both diagnosis and care. Fees run on a sliding scale and major insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare, is accepted.
Clinics focused on sexual health typically leave substance-use concerns to a separate system, different referral, different appointment, different facility. Langley Health Services carries both in-house, so when the two issues intersect, they're addressed in the same place by the same organization, without splitting care across providers.
For someone without a regular primary-care provider, Langley Health Services functions as a meaningful alternative: its panel covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV but also reaches hepatitis C, a virus often missed when testing stays limited to the standard quartet. Getting that result here means the follow-up stays inside one clinical relationship.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Marion County, the county that includes Belleview, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#34 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 49% of the state
| Infection | Marion County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 388.8 1,594 cases ▼ 22% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 176.6 724 cases ▼ 15% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8.5 35 cases ▼ 56% | 19.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.3 38 cases ▼ 63% | 25.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 42.4 174 cases ▲ 12% | 37.7 | 29.5 |

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 Marion County, chlamydia has risen from 378 to 388.8 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has risen from 174 to 176.6 per 100,000 (1%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.4 to 8.5 per 100,000 (15%).

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 Marion County.
Local HIV snapshot
Marion County HIV care continuum (2023)
Marion County recorded 13.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Marion County residents living with HIV, 84.1% are in care · 74.6% 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 Marion County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Belleview households tend to be larger and more likely than not to have a married couple at the center: the kind of home where one partner's health appointment quietly becomes a shared conversation, and where competing demands (childcare, work schedules, a single car on Abshier Boulevard) can quietly reshape what actually gets scheduled. That dynamic matters because a meaningful slice of residents are in their late teens and twenties, precisely the years when STI transmission peaks and when testing is least likely to happen without a straightforward path to do it. The economic picture sharpens that reality. With unemployment running notably higher than the national average and fewer than one in ten households clearing six figures, the $834 monthly rent that anchors life in neighborhoods like Golden Oaks and Compton Mobile Home Park leaves little slack for anything that feels optional or expensive.
Low- and no-cost screening options, several of which appear in the clinic cards on this page, remove the calculation that turns a routine test into a budget decision. Belleview's spread-out layout means most residents drive rather than walk to any appointment, and with labor-force participation well below average, schedules aren't always nine-to-five. The options listed here include varied hours precisely because a resident near Historic Santos Recreation Area and one closer to Belleview Heights may be working with very different weekday windows.
Getting there

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.
