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.

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.

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.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed On-Site
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.

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.

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.

People moving between Golf and Boynton Beach often weave through neighborhoods where young adults are establishing themselves, working first jobs, settling into apartments, building relationships that deserve straightforward health care. STI testing in and around Golf reflects this reality: confidentiality here isn't framed as an exception but as a baseline. Clinics and urgent care centers listed on this page understand that someone seeking a test may not want the visit announced or discussed, and they treat that expectation as nonnegotiable. The proximity to Delray Beach and Boynton Beach means testing sites are genuinely accessible without requiring a trek across the county.
Walk-ins are common at several locations; others book same-week appointments. Results typically arrive within days, and the process moves efficiently: no long waits, no unnecessary questions beyond what a provider needs to diagnose or rule out infection. For residents in their twenties and thirties, especially those new to the area, getting tested becomes part of routine care rather than a crisis response. The clinics and health centers available in and around Golf support that shift by keeping the experience straightforward and private, with no record shared beyond your own medical file.

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.
