True Health in Sanford is a full-service community health clinic where STI care (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) runs on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit bacterial treatment, by appointment, with staff fluent in ASL, Spanish, Haitian Creole, and more.
True Health carries direct clinical fluency in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole (alongside Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) meaning a Deaf patient or a recent arrival from Port-au-Prince can navigate test results, treatment decisions, and prevention counseling without an intermediary layer between them and their provider.
True Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP as part of its standing prevention services, which means a patient can establish ongoing HIV prevention care, including coverage for uninsured PrEP, at the same clinic handling the rest of their sexual health.
Many clinics will confirm a hepatitis C antibody and leave the treatment question open, True Health closes it on-site, managing the full treatment course without sending patients elsewhere to find a specialist willing to take on the case.

Florida Department of Health in Seminole County is a public health department in Sanford, where STI care sits alongside TB management, family planning, and chronic disease programs. Meaning the same appointment that screens you can start treatment for bacterial infections on the spot, on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with Ryan White-funded HIV care available from first test through ongoing treatment.
Ryan White Program funding underwrites HIV services here from initial testing through sustained medical treatment, so a person who tests positive enters a supported care structure at the same clinic, without having to rebuild a care relationship somewhere new.
PrEP and PEP are both prescribed on-site, which means prevention medication can be initiated and managed within the same clinical relationship. Patients aren't handed off to find a prescriber willing to take it on.
For anyone navigating sexual health without a primary care physician, this clinic's panel reaches beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV to include herpes and all three hepatitis strains. Coverage that typically requires a separate specialist referral elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Seminole County, the county that includes Black Hammock, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~17% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#44 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Seminole County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 340.5 1,649 cases ▼ 32% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 128.4 622 cases ▼ 38% | 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 Seminole County, chlamydia has fallen from 370.6 to 340.5 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has risen from 125.7 to 128.4 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10.8 to 11.2 per 100,000 (4%).

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 Seminole County.
Local HIV snapshot
Seminole County HIV care continuum (2023)
Seminole County recorded 16.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Seminole County residents living with HIV, 82% are in care · 75.8% 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 Seminole County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
W SR 434 cuts through a corner of Black Hammock where nearly every house is owner-occupied and home values push well past a third of a million dollars, a cost-of-living reality that shapes which expenses feel optional and which feel routine. With close to half of households earning six figures and unemployment holding low, financial pressure isn't the usual obstacle to preventive care here; time and distance are more honest culprits. That distance piece matters most for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are often the busiest and the least likely to schedule something that requires a dedicated trip out of the community.
The community's profile (a largely married, homeowning population with households averaging close to three people) means many residents have built stable routines around Retreat At Lake Charm or the broader neighborhoods near Lake Charm's shoreline. Slotting a screening visit into that routine is simply a matter of knowing the option exists and when it's open.
Getting there

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.
