Lee Health

Lee Health brings STI care through a health system infrastructure in Fort Myers, with the standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C) treated on a sliding scale, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments required. Spanish and interpretation services are staffed across care.
Read full overviewShow less
Spanish Spoken, Interpretation Staffed On-Site
Spanish is available directly through Lee Health's staff, and interpretation services for other languages are operationally integrated into appointments. Not routed through an external line mid-visit. That means the clinician conducting your exam, reviewing results, and explaining your treatment plan can communicate with you in real time, with no lag or relay.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here
Lee Health carries PrEP as a standing clinical service, including a dedicated assistance pathway for uninsured patients, so cost isn't the barrier that ends the conversation. For people without a regular provider who need ongoing PrEP monitoring (labs, prescription renewals, follow-up) this is a clinic equipped to own that relationship from the start.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
A positive hepatitis C result at Lee Health doesn't hand off to a specialist queue, treatment is prescribed and monitored within the same system. That means antiviral therapy, sustained virologic response labs, and clinical follow-up are managed by the same care team that ran the initial test, rather than restarting elsewhere.

Rated 3.1 out of 5 from 107 reviews
Fort Myers Center - Downtown earns its federal qualification by tying fees to income, making STI screening genuinely reachable for anyone paying out of pocket, between insurance plans, or simply watching a budget. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening without an appointment.
The McGregor Clinic in Fort Myers welcomes walk-in patients (those paying cash, between providers, or without coverage) and meets them with federally supported, no-cost STI screening. Syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV testing are available, with fees structured to income so cost stays off the table.
Huntingdon Health Services Suite 201, Fort Myers, welcomes walk-ins for STI screening without an appointment. Federally qualified status anchors its sliding-scale fee structure, so out-of-pocket cost adjusts to income. A single visit can cover testing for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Cape Coral, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Lee County HIV care continuum (2023)
Lee County recorded 12.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Lee County residents living with HIV, 82.2% are in care · 75% 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.
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.

Cape Coral is a city that largely runs on shared decision-making: more than half of adult residents are married, and households here tend to be larger than the national norm, meaning a conversation about getting tested rarely happens in isolation. When one partner schedules screening, the other often follows. That dynamic can be a genuine advantage, but it can also mean that if neither person raises it, it simply doesn't come up. Beneath the homeowning, family-oriented surface, though, there's a younger adult population, people in their late teens and twenties navigating new relationships, who carry STI rates disproportionate to their share of the city.
With well under a third of residents renting, and typical rent already pushing well above a thousand dollars a month, cost pressure is real for that group. Add a labor-force participation rate that leaves a meaningful share of adults outside regular employer benefits structures, and paying out-of-pocket for a clinic visit can feel like a genuine obstacle rather than a minor inconvenience. Cape Coral's spread-out layout along corridors like Southwest Pine Island Road and South Chiquita Boulevard means almost every errand is a drive, and STI screening is no different. Having listed options (with varied hours, fees, and locations already mapped on this page) means residents near Lake Kennedy Community Park or anywhere along FL 78 can find an appointment that actually fits their commute, not just their calendar.

Confidentiality & consent in FloridaMinor 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.
