Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 7 reviews

HealthyMD in Bonita Springs runs entirely on free services: HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing at no charge, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale fees where costs do apply. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Every Test, Every Visit, Zero Dollars

The free-service structure at HealthyMD in Bonita Springs extends across the complete panel (rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) with no tiered pricing and no services carved out. That scope means prevention counseling, condom distribution, and STI treatment share the same zero-cost standing as the tests themselves.

DoxyPEP Is on the Formulary Here

Prevention prescribing at most clinics begins and ends with PrEP. HealthyMD in Bonita Springs carries PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline regimen that reduces bacterial STI acquisition, making it one of the few local options where all three prevention tools are available from a single provider.

Hepatitis C Treatment Managed In-House

At HealthyMD in Bonita Springs, a hepatitis C diagnosis moves directly into treatment: direct-acting antivirals are prescribed and the viral response monitored on-site by the same clinical team that ran the rapid or conventional antibody test. No handoff to a specialist practice is required for the treatment phase.

Healthcare Network in Naples tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee that extends to Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance: walk-ins welcome, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and hepatitis A, HPV, and hepatitis B vaccines on-site.

Read full overview

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Specialist

Healthcare Network carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services: useful for anyone without a primary care provider, paying out of pocket, or simply wanting prevention managed in the same place as testing. No separate specialist appointment required to access either medication.

Substance-Use Treatment Staffed Alongside STI Care

The Naples clinic employs clinicians who handle substance-use treatment within the same practice: meaning assessments, medications, and monitoring happen on-site rather than through a separate program. STI care and addiction medicine share staff and records, so clinical decisions on either side can account for the other.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Lee County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Bonita Springs, FL

Old 41 Road runs through a Bonita Springs where four in five residents own their homes, a tenure profile that shapes the town's character in quieter ways than the resort-facing stretch of CR 865 might suggest. That ownership rate, paired with a median home value well into the six figures, reflects a community that has largely settled in, and household sizes that run close to three people mean most addresses here are shared lives, not solo arrangements. About a third of households clear six figures annually, which helps explain why the area reads as comfortable, though the roughly one in five who rent are navigating a local market where monthly costs add real weight to every discretionary decision, including healthcare.

What the numbers on this page can't show is how a labor force participation rate that sits well below typical working-age levels points to a retirement-heavy population, which means the young adults in their late teens and twenties who are in the statistically active years for STI transmission represent a smaller but no less important slice of who lives here. For them, a positive test caught promptly is a straightforward medical event. Cost and scheduling tend to be the things that delay it: a visit that feels optional when rent is due rarely gets prioritized.

Confidentiality & consent in Florida Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
