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.

Lee Health

Lee Health brings STI care through a health system infrastructure in Fort Myers, with the standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C) treated on a sliding scale, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments required. Spanish and interpretation services are staffed across care.
Read full overviewShow less
Spanish Spoken, Interpretation Staffed On-Site
Spanish is available directly through Lee Health's staff, and interpretation services for other languages are operationally integrated into appointments. Not routed through an external line mid-visit. That means the clinician conducting your exam, reviewing results, and explaining your treatment plan can communicate with you in real time, with no lag or relay.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here
Lee Health carries PrEP as a standing clinical service, including a dedicated assistance pathway for uninsured patients, so cost isn't the barrier that ends the conversation. For people without a regular provider who need ongoing PrEP monitoring (labs, prescription renewals, follow-up) this is a clinic equipped to own that relationship from the start.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
A positive hepatitis C result at Lee Health doesn't hand off to a specialist queue, treatment is prescribed and monitored within the same system. That means antiviral therapy, sustained virologic response labs, and clinical follow-up are managed by the same care team that ran the initial test, rather than restarting 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.

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 Lee County tests for syphilis.

Casa di Fiori sits at the quieter end of Lee County, populated largely by homeowners who've put down real roots here, and whose daily schedules reflect that stability. With just over half of adults in the labor force and unemployment staying low, most residents who do work are holding consistent jobs, often with fixed hours that don't bend easily for midday appointments. That scheduling reality matters for younger adults in their late teens and twenties, a group that tends to delay routine health care not from indifference but from the sheer logistics of fitting it in.
Rent here stays modest relative to coastal Lee County, but a household running on one income in a community where over half of adults are married and families average nearly three people still has plenty of competing financial calls on its time. The range of options listed on this page, reachable via Del Prado Boulevard South or north along US 41 toward the River District, means residents can weigh cost, hours, and distance against their own week, so that a drive to the nearest clinic becomes a planned errand, not an open question.

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.
