Haitian Creole and Spanish are working languages on staff here: counseling, medication instructions, and follow-up conversations happen directly in those languages, not routed through an outside service. Interpretation is also available for additional languages when needed.

Ryan White Carries HIV Care From Test to Treatment

Many testing sites hand off HIV-positive patients once the result is confirmed. Ryan White funding at this clinic means a patient moves from initial diagnosis into ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence support within the same program, no separate enrollment elsewhere required.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Managed Here

For anyone without a regular provider, or paying cash, the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County, Delray Beach prescribes and manages PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly, including dedicated PrEP support for uninsured patients, so prevention medication doesn't require a separate specialist visit.

Monarch Health Services in Delray Beach runs the full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) with walk-in access, sliding-scale fees, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, all at no cost to patients.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs Without a Bill

Plenty of clinics discount some services while charging for others, leaving patients to calculate what they can afford before they walk in. Monarch Health Services absorbs the cost across the board (testing, treatment, prevention counseling, and HIV management) so the full scope of care is available without a fee at any point.

Haitian Creole and Spanish, Staff-Level Fluency

Many clinics layer a language access workaround over an otherwise English-only practice. At Monarch Health Services in Delray Beach, Haitian Creole and Spanish are spoken at the clinical level: meaning the intake, counseling, and treatment conversations happen directly in both languages, not through a patch.

Monarch Health Services prescribes all three current biomedical prevention medications: daily oral PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, making it one of the few clinics in Delray Beach maintaining a dedicated DoxyPEP protocol alongside the other two.

FoundCare in Boynton Beach runs rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside hepatitis C testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and PrEP prescriptions on site: all on a sliding scale, with walk-ins welcome and no appointment required.

Read full overview

Ryan White Funding Closes the HIV Care Gap

Testing alone leaves people without a path forward once HIV is confirmed, the result becomes a starting point with nowhere to go. FoundCare's Ryan White funding threads testing directly into ongoing HIV/AIDS medical care and medication adherence counseling, keeping the same clinical relationship intact from first result through long-term management.

French and Haitian Creole Staffed Into Every Visit

FoundCare carries French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish into clinical encounters through staff fluency: counseling, adherence education, and treatment planning are conducted directly in those languages, not filtered through a secondary service or scheduled separately.

Every Service at FoundCare Carries Zero Cost

From the rapid HIV test through PrEP prescriptions, hepatitis C treatment, and vaccine administration, FoundCare structures every service at no charge: the sliding scale reaches all the way to zero, and Ryan White funding backstops HIV care so cost never interrupts treatment continuity.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 646 reviews

Boca General and Family Medicine in Boca Raton tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB on a fee-for-service basis with Medicare and most insurance accepted; appointments are required, and confirmed bacterial infections are treated the same visit.

Read full overview

Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Boca General and Family Medicine prescribes and manages PrEP, including the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring labs, and provides PEP, keeping both prevention medications within the same practice rather than splitting prescribing from follow-up care.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Without a Separate Specialist

The practice carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, meaning a patient with no regular specialist and no path to a referral can move from antibody test to antiviral prescription within a single care relationship. Critical for anyone whose insurance or cash-pay budget cannot absorb a second provider.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Prevent the Second-Appointment Gap

Leaving herpes or hepatitis off an initial panel means a second appointment, a second co-pay, and weeks of unresolved uncertainty. Boca General runs herpes simplex, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the standard four, closing that gap in a single visit.

STDs & HIV in Palm Beach County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Palm Beach County, the county that includes Delray Beach, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Among Palm Beach County residents living with HIV, 85.9% know their status · 74.4% are in care · 67% 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 Palm Beach County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Delray Beach, FL

The neighborhood anchored by Pompey Park draws a mix of long-term homeowners and renters who together make up most of Delray Beach's households, and the workforce picture here means a lot of people are juggling variable schedules, side work, or gaps between jobs. With nearly two in five residents renting at rates that leave little budget slack, and a meaningful share of households not currently employed, discretionary spending on healthcare tends to get weighed carefully against other pressures. That financial calculus matters because the younger adults in Delray Beach, people in their late teens and twenties forming relationships and moving through major life transitions, face the highest likelihood of STI exposure nationally and also the most reasons to delay a test: cost uncertainty, hours that conflict with shift work, or simply not knowing which option along West Atlantic Avenue or South Dixie Highway is the fastest to get to.

Households here average more than three people, which means testing decisions ripple outward and a result, positive or negative, often touches more than one person's life. Whether someone is coming from the Carver High School corridor or heading east toward the beach, that spread of choices along the SR 806 corridor means the nearest option is rarely a long detour.

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.
