A public safety-net rural health clinic in Clewiston. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Florida Community Health Centers in Clewiston accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with sliding-scale fees covering everyone else, across a panel that includes rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: by appointment, with care available in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, and Spanish.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested Here Directly
Florida Community Health Centers in Clewiston carries hepatitis A, B, and C testing as standing capability: meaning anyone without a regular physician, or paying on the sliding scale, gets the full picture in a single visit rather than chasing separate orders from separate offices.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares a Roof With STI Care
Clinics that handle STI testing rarely extend into substance-use treatment, the two live in separate systems, which means a second appointment, a second intake, a second wait. Florida Community Health Centers in Clewiston closes that gap, offering both under the same care team.
ASL, Haitian Creole, and Spanish Spoken on Staff
When language access depends on a scheduled callback or an outside line, the consequence is an incomplete visit. Questions unasked, instructions misread, follow-up skipped. Florida Community Health Centers in Clewiston delivers care directly in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, Spanish, and additional languages through interpretation services, so nothing in the appointment falls through a communication gap.

Florida Department of Health in Hendry County brings the full infrastructure of a public health department to STI care in Clewiston: rapid and conventional HIV testing, herpes, hepatitis B and C, TB, and the bacterial panel, all on appointment, with sliding-scale fees and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, Spanish spoken on-site.

Spanish Spoken Natively, Not Patched Together
Many clinics handle language access as an afterthought, a service bolted on after the appointment is already underway. At Florida Department of Health in Hendry County, Spanish is a primary language of care, meaning the clinical conversation itself happens in Spanish, not around it.
PrEP Available Here, Prescribed and Managed On-Site
PrEP is prescribed and managed directly at Florida Department of Health in Hendry County, which means the lab monitoring and dosing follow-up that make PrEP effective stay with the same clinical team rather than fragmenting across providers.
Hepatitis C Treatment Starts Here, Not at a Specialist
Plenty of testing sites confirm a hepatitis C antibody result and leave patients to find treatment elsewhere. Florida Department of Health in Hendry County carries the care through to treatment on-site, so a confirmed infection moves toward a cure without requiring patients to navigate a separate system.

Zero Cost Across Every Service Offered
For anyone without a regular provider, or managing care entirely out of pocket, the full slate here, testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, carries no fee regardless of income or insurance status. Sliding-scale exists on paper, but the floor is zero across the board.
Spanish-Language Care, Not an Add-On
Spanish speakers who want to discuss symptoms, history, and treatment options in the language they reason in will find direct, clinical Spanish available here. Not a workaround arranged visit to visit. For someone without a regular provider who needs that continuity, it changes what a visit actually delivers.
Herpes and Hepatitis B Alongside the Standard Panel
For someone who wants a genuinely complete picture, particularly without a primary care doctor to order additional labs, this clinic's panel extends to herpes and hepatitis B testing beyond the core four. That breadth, combined with zero-cost services, makes it the practical choice for comprehensive baseline screening.
A safety-net federally qualified health center about 16 miles from Clewiston. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
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 Clewiston, 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.

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 Hendry County tests for syphilis.

Sugarland Highway runs quietly past Civic Park on most mornings, giving Clewiston the unhurried feel of a town where people have been around a while, and where more than half of households own their homes outright. But beneath that settled surface, the logistics of getting screened for STIs take real effort: the options listed on this page require a drive, and with unemployment running well above typical Florida levels, carving out time and money for a clinic visit is a genuine calculation for a lot of residents.
That calculation lands hardest on young adults in their late teens and twenties, a share of Clewiston's population large enough to matter. Households here tend to be bigger than state averages, averaging close to four people, which means a single positive result rarely stays a solo concern. For the four in ten residents who rent rather than own, a typical monthly payment just under eight hundred dollars leaves a narrow cushion, and even a modest clinic fee can tip the scale toward postponing care.
Clewiston's workforce participation numbers show most adults are employed and scheduled, and that makes appointment hours a real factor. With roughly one in five households clearing six figures and many others working around tighter budgets, sliding-scale and no-cost options among the listings here matter most to the renters near Orchard Park and Fairgrounds who are least likely to have flexibility in either time or out-of-pocket cost.

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.
