Tests offered
North Florida Medical Centers in Mayo tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee structure accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers. Bacterial infections are treated the same visit; an appointment is required.
Plenty of testing sites run the same four-infection sweep and leave herpes and hepatitis out of the picture entirely, gaps that go unnoticed until a symptom surfaces. North Florida Medical Centers tests for herpes simplex alongside hepatitis A, B, and C, so the picture you leave with is considerably more complete than what a stripped-down panel provides.
North Florida Medical Centers carries out testing, treatment, and prevention counseling in Spanish: meaning a Spanish-speaking patient with no regular provider can navigate every step of care, from initial screening through STI or TB treatment, without switching to English to understand a diagnosis or a medication plan.

Florida Department of Health in Lafayette County, a public health department in Mayo, folds STI testing and same-visit bacterial treatment into a full-service public health infrastructure: sliding-scale fees, no appointment needed, and Spanish-language care on staff.
Spanish-language services here are staffed directly: clinical conversations, counseling, and treatment instructions happen in Spanish without a relay layer between the provider and the patient. That means a Spanish-speaking clinician can work through symptoms, results, and follow-up care in real time, in the same appointment.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic runs discrete tests for herpes and for hepatitis A, B, and C. Each ordered and processed through the department's own clinical workflow. Hepatitis B and A vaccines are also stocked on-site, so vaccination can follow testing in the same visit without a separate referral chain.

STD stats & rates

#63 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 6% of the state
| Infection | Lafayette County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 185.7 15 cases ▼ 63% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 123.8 10 cases ▼ 40% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 19.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 12.4 1 cases ▼ 51% | 25.1 | 16 |

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 Lafayette County, chlamydia has fallen from 340.4 to 185.7 per 100,000 (45%), gonorrhea has risen from 72.9 to 123.8 per 100,000 (70%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 24.3 to 24.3 per 100,000.

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 Lafayette County.
Local HIV snapshot
Lafayette County HIV care continuum (2023)
Lafayette County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Lafayette County residents living with HIV, 82.4% are in care · 82.4% 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 Lafayette County tests for syphilis.

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.
