Rated 3 out of 5 from 7 reviews

Doctors United Group in Hialeah tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit. No appointment is needed, and every service carries no fee.

Read full overview

Zero-Cost Care Across Every Service Offered

Every test, treatment, vaccine, and counseling session at Doctors United Group is provided at no charge, which means a patient managing HIV or hepatitis C can stay in continuous care without a billing barrier interrupting treatment.

Haitian Creole and Spanish Staff On-Site

Doctors United Group staffs clinicians and counselors fluent in both Haitian Creole and Spanish, so medication adherence education, PrEP counseling, and lab result conversations happen in the language patients actually use to make decisions about their health. Not through a relay.

PrEP and PEP Managed Directly at This Clinic

Without direct access to PrEP or PEP, a prevention gap can stretch into weeks of unprotected exposure or missed prophylaxis. Doctors United Group prescribes, monitors, and refills both PrEP and PEP in-house, including for uninsured patients, so prevention is never held up by a second appointment elsewhere.

Project Access Foundation in Hialeah tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis B and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, all on a sliding scale, with no-fee options, by appointment.

Read full overview

Zero Balance Across Every Service Line

Project Access Foundation structures its entire operation (testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, HIV medical management, hepatitis C treatment, and vaccines) under a no-fee model. That means billing never filters which services a patient actually receives; the clinical staff allocates care based on need, not on what a fee schedule allows.

Four Languages Staffed, Not Patched

Project Access Foundation delivers services directly in French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish. Four languages carried by clinical staff, not routed through an external service. In a care context where medication adherence counseling and treatment decisions hinge on precise communication, that operational capacity shapes the quality of every clinical exchange.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Without a Referral Chain

When prevention requires a prescription, daily PrEP or a post-exposure PEP course, a gap between a positive risk assessment and an actual prescriber can mean the intervention never happens. Project Access Foundation carries both PrEP and PEP as on-site services, including PrEP at no cost for uninsured patients, so the clinical decision and the prescription occupy the same visit.

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 Miami-Dade County residents living with HIV, 92% know their status · 68.9% are in care · 60.5% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Miami-Dade County tests for syphilis.

About Hialeah Gardens, FL

A quick stop at Wilde Park or Sparks Park on a weekday evening reveals Hialeah Gardens' rhythm: families and working adults moving between home, job, and the places that anchor their routines. That same accessibility matters when someone needs STI testing without fanfare. The clinics and health services listed on this page serve a community where households often span generations, where privacy isn't negotiable, and where a young adult or parent juggling work and family obligations needs testing to happen without disruption or delay. Confidentiality here isn't a courtesy, it's a baseline expectation that testing facilities in and around Hialeah Gardens understand deeply. Residents know their neighbors and their neighborhoods, from Miami Lakes to the corridors along Hialeah Gardens Boulevard.

Testing appointments can be scheduled, results received, and follow-up begun without announcement or delay, letting people move forward on their own terms. The young adults in Hialeah Gardens (working, studying, building lives) often know intuitively that routine screening is responsible and unremarkable. Local testing providers recognize this and keep the process straightforward: no judgment, no gossip, no unnecessary steps. Health decisions stay personal, and the care itself stays focused.

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.
