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.

Life Resources in Wellington runs its full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) without a fee attached to any of it, on a sliding scale for those who do pay, with walk-ins welcome and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Life Resources funds its STI services so that every test, every follow-up, and every treatment session is delivered without a bill. No copay tier, no minimum charge, no service carved out. The clinic's staffing and funding structure absorbs the cost entirely, so the care you receive is the same regardless of what you bring to the window.
Spanish is woven into the clinical operation at Life Resources, not routed through an outside service. Staff conduct testing conversations, counseling, and treatment planning directly in Spanish, so medication instructions, exposure history, and follow-up care are communicated with the same precision as in any English-language appointment.
Life Resources holds the prescribing and monitoring of both PrEP and PEP in-house: meaning someone without a regular provider, without insurance, or simply looking for a clinic that handles the whole prevention medication workflow can get assessed, prescribed, and followed up in one place, including PrEP coverage for the uninsured.

Midway Specialty Care Center in West Palm Beach covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and HIV on a sliding scale, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, walk-ins welcome, and every service carries no fee.
Plenty of clinics layer costs onto individual services even when the visit itself is subsidized, a lab fee here, a counseling charge there. At Midway Specialty Care Center, that layering doesn't exist: the full scope of care, from testing through treatment, is provided at no fee to every patient who walks in.
Midway Specialty Care Center prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP: meaning daily HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure antiretroviral intervention, and doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis against bacterial STIs are all managed here. Having all three under active clinical oversight means prevention strategies can be calibrated and combined rather than pursued piecemeal.
Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a confirmed diagnosis starts a separate clock. Scheduling with a specialist, waiting for an appointment, navigating a second care relationship before a single pill is prescribed. Midway Specialty Care Center in West Palm Beach collapses that gap entirely, managing hepatitis C treatment in the same facility where it's found.

Campbell Health Solutions in West Palm Beach requires an appointment, so visits move with purpose: covering HIV (rapid and self-test), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, same-visit bacterial treatment, and family planning, all at no fee.
When cost sits between a person and follow-through (whether that's completing a hepatitis C treatment course, picking up PrEP, or returning for HIV care) the gap doesn't close on its own. Campbell Health Solutions carries no fee for any of it, so the care that needs to continue actually does.
Campbell Health Solutions in West Palm Beach delivers care directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, meaning a patient managing an ongoing HIV treatment plan or working through a PrEP consultation has that conversation in full, without anything flattened by translation gaps.
PrEP at Campbell Health Solutions means ongoing prescribing paired with the lab monitoring (HIV testing, kidney function, STI screening) that keeping someone safely on Truvada or Descovy actually requires. PEP is similarly staffed and prescribed on-site, not coordinated from a distance.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Palm Beach County, the county that includes Loxahatchee Groves, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#25 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 63% of the state

| Chlamydia | 457.5 7,017 cases ▼ 8% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 144.7 2,220 cases ▼ 30% | 206.7 | 179.5 |

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 Palm Beach County, chlamydia has risen from 382.8 to 457.5 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has risen from 107.2 to 144.7 per 100,000 (35%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.2 to 11.7 per 100,000 (43%).

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 Palm Beach County.
Local HIV snapshot

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.
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.

Data & references
Local context
A trip to Lion Country Safari or an afternoon at Loxahatchee Groves Park often marks the rhythm of family life here, where many households span generations under one roof and neighbors tend to stay put for years. That stability and privacy matter equally when it comes to sexual health: particularly for the young adults living in Westlake, Lakeview North, and Lakefield West who are establishing themselves independently while maintaining close family ties. Testing in and around Loxahatchee Groves is straightforward and discreet; the clinics and providers listed on this page handle screening with the same matter-of-fact professionalism they bring to any routine health visit. What sets testing here apart is the ability to move through the process without fanfare. Results arrive confidentially, counseling is available if needed, and the whole encounter leaves no trace in casual conversation.
A real advantage in a community where people know one another well. Young adults can schedule appointments at times that fit their work or school calendars, and walk away with answers and next steps. Whether you're in a committed relationship, exploring new connections, or simply staying current with your health, testing is a straightforward step. Clinics listed on this page accept most insurance plans and offer sliding-scale fees for those without coverage.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
