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.

Address
1361 Florida Avenue Northeast Apartment 2, Palm Bay, FL 32905
BHA Heritage Park in Melbourne earned federal qualification precisely to serve people who might otherwise go without care: those paying out of pocket, between coverage, or watching every dollar. Sliding-scale fees bring syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening within reach, and no appointment is needed to walk in.
Florida Department of Health in Brevard County in Melbourne tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; an appointment is required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit; services are available in Spanish.

Spanish-Speaking Staff Handle Full Clinical Care
Spanish-language capacity at this Melbourne clinic is staffed through clinical personnel, meaning counseling, exposure history review, treatment decisions, and follow-up instructions all happen directly in Spanish. No relay through a separate service. For patients managing hepatitis monitoring or STI treatment, that directness shapes what gets communicated and acted on.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Sit Alongside the Standard Four
The panel here runs to hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing plus herpes, expanding well beyond the gonorrhea-chlamydia-syphilis-HIV baseline. Hepatitis B and C require distinct clinical follow-up, and having the serology drawn at the same appointment as bacterial testing keeps that process from splitting across providers.

Brevard Health Alliance, a community health center in Melbourne, folds STI testing into the kind of continuous primary care that most standalone clinics can't offer: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee, walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, with care available in Spanish.

Clinical Spanish That Goes Beyond the Basics
Plenty of clinics can produce a translated consent form and leave it there. At Brevard Health Alliance in Melbourne, Spanish extends into the clinical conversation itself (the symptom history, the treatment explanation, the follow-up instructions) so nothing critical gets compressed into a nod.
Hepatitis C Testing Alongside the Standard Bacterial Panel
Brevard Health Alliance runs hepatitis C testing as part of its standard panel alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Useful for anyone without a regular provider who'd otherwise need to piece together separate appointments to get the same coverage in Melbourne.
Healthcare Unity Group in Melbourne provides free HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing alongside full STI care: all at no charge, with Medicaid and insurance accepted. Bacterial infections are treated same-visit; an appointment is required.

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost
Healthcare Unity Group carries no charge for any service: testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, and hepatitis B and C treatment included. For someone managing care without a regular provider or paying entirely out of pocket, that means medication and follow-up are as financially accessible as the initial test.
ASL, Haitian Creole, and Spanish Spoken Directly
Staff at Healthcare Unity Group deliver care directly in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. For a Deaf patient navigating a sensitive appointment, or a Haitian Creole or Spanish speaker discussing prevention options, that direct fluency changes what can actually be communicated and decided during a visit.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Available Together
Healthcare Unity Group prescribes all three current biomedical prevention tools: daily oral PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV risk reduction, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after sex, to reduce bacterial STI acquisition. Having all three at the same clinic means prevention strategy can be adjusted as circumstances change, without switching providers.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 2 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Melbourne Beach, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among Brevard County residents living with HIV, 86.3% are in care · 77.8% 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 Brevard County tests for syphilis.

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.
