Every Service Runs on a Zero-Dollar Fee
The no-fee structure at Florida Department of Health in St Lucie County isn't a reduced-rate tier or an income-screened waiver: it applies to every service on the menu, from the initial HIV rapid test through PrEP prescriptions and ongoing HIV medical treatment, with no charge attached to any of them.
Haitian Creole and Spanish Are Staffed Languages
Fort Pierce's clinic maintains direct Haitian Creole and Spanish language capacity on staff, and carries interpretation services for other languages. Meaning providers can take a full medication adherence counseling session or a PrEP intake in those languages without routing through an external service.
Ryan White Closes the Gap Between Test and Long-Term HIV Care
Many testing sites hand off a positive HIV result with no clinical path forward. Ryan White funding at Florida Department of Health in St Lucie County closes that gap: the same site that runs your rapid or conventional HIV test also carries the HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence support needed for ongoing management.
Tests & treatsRyan White HIV careSliding-scalePrEP
WellView Care in Fort Pierce offers free HIV and hepatitis C testing alongside a full bacterial and viral STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B) with no appointment required, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and sliding-scale fees covering every remaining service.

Every Service Carries a Zero Dollar Cost
Plenty of clinics offer a free HIV test while billing for everything around it, the hepatitis panel, the treatment, the follow-up. At WellView Care, the fee-free structure extends to every service on the menu, not just the headline test.
Spanish-Language Care Without the Workaround
Many clinics reach Spanish-speaking patients through patched-in solutions that keep a layer of distance between provider and patient. WellView Care delivers STI care and counseling directly in Spanish, so nothing about the clinical conversation gets filtered or delayed.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Fort Pierce
WellView Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing HIV prevention and post-exposure medication are managed within the same clinic. No separate infectious-disease referral needed to access either one.
Florida Community Health Centers in Fort Pierce tests for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with appointments required and bacterial STIs treated the same visit.

ASL Staffed, Interpretation Ready Across Languages
Florida Community Health Centers maintains American Sign Language capability within its care team, meaning Deaf patients communicate directly with staff rather than through relay. For other languages, on-site interpretation is staffed, not sourced after the fact, so clinical conversations about testing results, treatment plans, and prevention options happen without an intermediary lag.
PrEP and PEP Managed Without a Second Appointment Elsewhere
Without PrEP and PEP available at the same site handling your testing, prevention becomes a second errand. Another clinic, another wait, another intake process. Florida Community Health Centers prescribes and manages both, so the gap between a test result and an active prevention plan doesn't require leaving their Fort Pierce practice.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
Florida Community Health Centers treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed treatment course without the patient navigating a separate specialist. Antiviral therapy, the kind that can clear the infection, stays within the same practice that ran the test.

Every Service Runs on a Zero-Balance Model

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 St. Lucie County tests for syphilis.

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.
