How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Helix Urgent Care in Deerfield Beach covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis testing, treating confirmed bacterial infections the same visit. Fees are charged on a sliding scale and the clinic accepts Medicare and insurance, with no appointment needed. Spanish is spoken on staff.

Herpes and Hepatitis Sit in the Panel
Seven distinct tests (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, plus HIV) make up the panel at Helix. That count means a single visit can surface infections that a shorter panel would leave undetected and unaddressed.
PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here Directly
Many urgent-care settings screen for HIV without offering the next step in prevention, Helix does. PrEP is prescribed and managed on-site, and PEP is available for prevention, keeping both pre- and post-exposure options within the same clinic rather than handed off elsewhere.
Spanish Care Is Staffed, Not Patched Together
Spanish-language care at Helix runs through clinical staff who conduct exams, explain results, and discuss treatment in Spanish directly. Not routed through a separate service. Prescriptions, follow-up instructions, and prevention counseling all happen in the same language used to ask the questions.

Broward Health in Pompano Beach runs on a sliding-scale fee structure with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted, and HIV testing is free for everyone. Walk-ins are welcome for the standard panel covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price Tag
Broward Health's full scope (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) is available at no charge regardless of how you're paying. For someone without a regular provider managing everything out of pocket, that means walking out with a completed treatment course, not a billing puzzle to solve later.
Spanish Care Delivered Directly, Without the Gap
When STI care requires a second visit to find language access, infections go untreated and follow-through drops. At Broward Health, Spanish-language care is built into the appointment itself: the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and next steps happens without a middleman or a delay.
Ryan White Funding Keeps HIV Care Continuous Here
Broward Health carries Ryan White Program funding, which means HIV services run from initial testing straight through to ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence support. That continuity means a positive result doesn't break the care chain, management begins at the same clinic where the test was read.

Florida Department of Health in Broward County in Pompano Beach tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee with insurance and Medicaid accepted; bacterial STIs treated same visit, by appointment, with direct hepatitis C and HIV management on-site.

Eight Languages Spoken Directly by Staff
Clinical staff at this Pompano Beach location communicate directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Eight languages in total. That direct fluency means a Haitian Creole-speaking patient and a Deaf patient each receive counseling and disclosure in the language they actually use, with no mediated delay.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, Uninsured Costs Covered
Without access to PrEP or PEP at the point of care, prevention becomes contingent on a second appointment at a separate prescriber. A gap where protection lapses. Florida Department of Health in Broward County issues both prescriptions directly, and uninsured patients have dedicated PrEP cost coverage, so the prescription and its affordability resolve at the same visit.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
Florida Department of Health in Broward County treats hepatitis C on-site rather than stopping at the antibody result, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves immediately into a treatment plan without requiring a separate specialist referral and the scheduling delays that follow.

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.
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.

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.

Broward County HIV care continuum (2023)
Broward County recorded 32.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Broward County residents living with HIV, 96.2% know their status · 78.9% are in care · 72.2% 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.
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 Broward County tests for syphilis.

Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach frame the edges of daily life for Lighthouse Point residents, and the community sitting between them skews heavily toward homeowners who have put down deep roots here. With well over half of adults married and households averaging close to three people, the social fabric is more settled than transient, and a labor-force participation rate that leaves a meaningful share of adults outside the traditional nine-to-five means schedules here vary more than they might first appear.
That mix matters for sexual health access. Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a smaller slice of Lighthouse Point than in many Florida cities, yet they still fall squarely in the years when STI transmission is most common, and the options listed on this page reach well beyond the immediate neighborhood. Getting to any of the twelve listed sites means driving, since US 1 (Federal Highway) or Dixie Highway will carry most residents northward or southward toward clinics in neighboring communities rather than anything steps from home. For anyone juggling a household of nearly three people and a full calendar, a midweek appointment can feel like a bigger lift than it looks on paper.
The range of listed options changes that calculus. From walk-in availability to sliding-scale fees to extended hours, the variety spread along the Federal Highway corridor makes it realistic for someone in Pompano Beach or the quieter streets near the Seaboard Air Line Museum to find a slot that fits without clearing an entire morning.

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.
