Brevard Health Alliance in Malabar requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead is the access point, and that single visit covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance.

Hepatitis C Screening Beyond the Bacterial Four
Plenty of STI clinics test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and stop there. Hepatitis C testing isn't on the menu. Brevard Health Alliance adds it, alongside a hepatitis A vaccine and adult hepatitis B vaccine, so viral hepatitis exposure doesn't have to send you somewhere else entirely.
PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site
PrEP at Brevard Health Alliance isn't a handoff, the clinic prescribes the daily oral medication and carries the follow-up testing that keeping someone on PrEP actually requires: regular HIV checks and kidney and creatinine monitoring built into ongoing appointments. PEP is also available for post-exposure prevention.
Spanish-Language Care Staffed Into the Clinic
Many clinics handle a language gap reactively, patching it together at the appointment. Spanish-speaking care at Brevard Health Alliance is woven into the clinic's capacity itself: meaning conversations about testing, results, and prevention happen directly, without an intermediary altering the exchange.
Bha Palm Bay Clinic in Palm Bay welcomes walk-in patients, no appointment needed, for sliding-scale STI screening. Federal qualification anchors its fee structure to income, and a single visit can cover testing for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia under that same affordable, income-adjusted rate.
A public safety-net federally qualified health center about 8 miles from Grant-Valkaria. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.

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 Brevard County tests for syphilis.

Old Dixie Highway runs the spine of Grant-Valkaria without a clinic in sight, and for a community where nearly everyone owns their home and most households include a partner and children, that distance is a quiet but real consideration when scheduling something as personal as STI screening. The town's settled, owner-occupying character (larger households, a strong majority of married adults, a workforce that skews employed and busy) means that health appointments compete against school pickups, work shifts, and the kind of full calendar that comes with rooted family life. The options listed on this page extend well beyond Grant-Valkaria's borders, but the range among them (in hours, fees, and distance) matters precisely because a single inconvenient detail can derail a plan entirely.
With a relatively low unemployment rate and a substantial share of households at higher income levels, the practical barrier here is more often schedule than cost. Several of the listed options offer extended or weekend hours, which lines up with what most Grant-Valkaria residents actually need: a slot that doesn't require taking time off work.

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.
