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.

200 Congress Park Drive, Suite 100, Delray Beach, FL 33445
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.

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.

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
When cost becomes the reason someone skips follow-up treatment or leaves an infection unmanaged, the clinical work stops mattering. At Genesis Community Health, no service (testing, treatment, PrEP, hepatitis care) carries a fee, so nothing gets deferred because a bill got in the way.
Spanish and Interpretation Built Into Care
Many clinics handle language as an afterthought, a routed call, a delayed conversation. Genesis Community Health in Boca Raton delivers care directly in Spanish and through full interpretation services, so the clinical conversation itself is never filtered or postponed.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site
Genesis Community Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP as standing clinic services, which means a patient establishing ongoing HIV prevention leaves with a prescription rather than a second appointment elsewhere.

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.

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.

Palm Beach County HIV care continuum (2023)
Palm Beach County recorded 20 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. 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.

Along US 1 where Highland Beach's waterfront estates sit behind manicured hedges, health decisions tend to be made the same way most things are here: quietly, deliberately, and often as a household. With nearly two-thirds of adults married and an average household size that reflects coupled living rather than roommate turnover, a conversation about routine STI screening is less likely to happen in a crowded apartment hallway and more likely over a shared calendar. That dynamic shapes how and when people actually follow through. The ownership rate here is among the highest imaginable for a coastal town, which means residential stability, but it also means the population skews away from the transient younger adult years when people in their late teens and twenties are most likely to need screening and least likely to prioritize it unprompted.
The labor-force participation picture tells a similar story: a large share of residents aren't in the daily nine-to-five grind, which, counterintuitively, can mean flexible scheduling actually works in someone's favor when arranging an appointment through the options listed on this page. Palm Beach County's STI figures are visible elsewhere on this page, and for anyone settled along this stretch of Federal Highway, staying current isn't about urgency. It's simply what responsible health maintenance looks like when the county context is what it is.

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.
