Mayo Clinic Jacksonville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB on a fee-based, insurance-accepted model. Appointments required. Bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and PrEP and PEP are available for ongoing prevention.

Mayo Clinic Jacksonville prescribes both PrEP and PEP for HIV prevention, which means a patient can establish continuous, medically supervised coverage rather than managing prevention across disconnected providers.

Florida Department of Health in Duval County, Jacksonville's public health department clinic, pairs testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs: fees run on a sliding scale accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Appointments are required.
Spanish is a working clinical language at this Jacksonville location: not a supplemental accommodation but the language in which staff deliver counseling, explain results, and discuss treatment. That operational capacity means nothing is filtered or deferred when care is delivered.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, this clinic tests for herpes. A specific addition that changes what a single appointment can actually rule out. Herpes is among the most common STIs and among the most commonly omitted from basic panels elsewhere.

Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with fees scaled to income for those paying out of pocket. Appointments are required for rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing HIV prevention, whether daily prophylaxis or post-exposure medication, is handled by the same clinicians who manage your testing and treatment, without routing prescriptions through a separate provider.
Without Title X, a minor seeking STI testing or family planning risks having results surface on a parent's insurance explanation of benefits. A disclosure that can derail care entirely. Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville operates under Title X, which legally protects the confidentiality of those services for minors, so that barrier doesn't exist here.
When language support fails at a clinic, the real cost is precision. A misunderstood symptom timeline, a dosing instruction lost in approximation, an exposure detail that never gets documented. Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville provides interpretation services for non-English languages so that clinical conversation stays accurate across every step of a visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Duval County, the county that includes Jacksonville Beach, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 93% of the state
| Infection | Duval County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 809.9 8,349 cases ▲ 62% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 429.8 4,430 cases ▲ 108% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 30.8 317 cases ▲ 60% | 19.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 24.4 252 cases ▼ 3% | 25.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 53.5 552 cases ▲ 42% | 37.7 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Duval County, chlamydia has risen from 795.9 to 809.9 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 438 to 429.8 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 23.1 to 30.8 per 100,000 (33%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Duval County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Duval County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Duval County HIV care continuum (2023)
Duval County recorded 29 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Duval County residents living with HIV, 77.7% know their status · 80.8% are in care · 69.2% 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.
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 Duval County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Jacksonville Beach moves with the rhythm of its waterfront trades and the steady pulse of families who've built their lives here across decades. Whether work takes you along US 90 or keeps you rooted in neighborhoods like San Pablo and Neptune Beach, the pace demands attention to health that doesn't always feel urgent. Until you realize how long it's been since you last checked. Confidential STI screening in and around Jacksonville Beach serves that practical need without ceremony or delay.
Young adults in their twenties and thirties make up a significant slice of the community, a group for whom routine testing fits naturally into the rhythm of staying well. The clinics and providers listed on this page offer the kind of discreet, straightforward care that lets you move forward without announcement. Whether you're between jobs, settling into a new role, or simply tending to what matters, the testing available here respects both your privacy and your time. The comfort and stability Jacksonville Beach residents often enjoy can create a false sense that screening isn't necessary, that health risks belong elsewhere.
They don't. Access to confidential results, clear follow-up pathways, and providers who treat testing as routine rather than shameful makes it easier to step in, get answers, and stay informed about your own body.

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).
In Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
