Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Malone, FL. The nearest, PanCare Health Malone, is about 0.4 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
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.

PanCare Health Malone earns its federally qualified designation by tying fees to income: meaning the same syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening is priced differently for a minimum-wage worker than for someone earning more, no appointment needed to get started in Malone.

Fees & payment
Florida Department of Health in Jackson County, Marianna requires an appointment and covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines on-site.
Spanish-language services at this clinic are staffed directly: a Spanish-speaking provider or staff member handles intake, counseling, and results conversations without routing through a separate service. Interpretation for other languages is also arranged for appointments, meaning the clinical exchange happens in full, not in fragments.
The clinic holds prescribing authority for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP: three distinct prevention medications that together cover ongoing HIV risk, post-exposure HIV risk, and bacterial STI prevention after sex. Someone without a regular primary care provider can establish all three here, with monitoring and follow-up built into the same department rather than split across separate practices.
Beyond the standard four, this clinic runs herpes testing and a full hepatitis panel (A, B, and C) within the same appointment. Hepatitis C results are followed by on-site treatment management rather than an external referral, and hepatitis A and B vaccines are administered on-site for those whose bloodwork shows no prior immunity.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jackson County, the county that includes Malone, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#8 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 88% of the state
| Infection | Jackson County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 664.3 323 cases ▲ 33% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 234.5 114 cases ▲ 13% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 37 18 cases ▲ 92% | 19.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 20.6 10 cases ▼ 18% | 25.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 32.9 16 cases ▼ 13% | 37.7 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Jackson County, chlamydia has risen from 574.8 to 664.3 per 100,000 (16%), gonorrhea has fallen from 325.5 to 234.5 per 100,000 (28%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 16.9 to 37 per 100,000 (119%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Jackson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jackson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jackson County recorded 14.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jackson County residents living with HIV, 84.4% are in care · 76.2% 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 Jackson County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Malone runs on the kind of schedule where errands stack up for one trip, because the nearest option for almost anything means getting in a car and covering real distance across Jackson County's rural spread. That's worth holding in mind when thinking about STI screening: options listed on this page aren't a short walk away, and for a community where labor-force participation is strikingly low and most earners are nowhere near six figures, both the drive and the cost of time off work register as genuine considerations. What makes the local picture distinct is the household character. Average households here run notably large, and more adults are unmarried than not. Meaning a sizable share of residents are younger adults still forming and navigating relationships, exactly the years when routine screening matters most.
Typical rents stay well below state averages, which keeps some cost pressure manageable, but the near-even split between owners and renters suggests a mobile, shifting population where continuity of care isn't guaranteed. For anyone in Malone, the practical move is matching a clinic visit to a trip that's already happening. A run to town for other necessities. The options listed here vary by hours and fees, so checking those details before the drive out of Malone is the part that actually saves time.
Getting there
At 3.51/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Malone generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
