Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 16 reviews

Midway Specialty Care Center in Miami Beach runs entirely on a free-to-patient model, with sliding-scale fees and Medicaid and insurance accepted: covering rapid HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Every Service Billed at Zero to You

Midway's no-fee model isn't a discount tier: it's operationalized through Ryan White funding, Medicaid reimbursement, and grant support that together cover the full cost of testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and ongoing HIV care. Nothing is means-tested at the door; the funding structure absorbs it before you arrive.

Spanish Is the Working Clinical Language Here

Spanish is spoken by clinical staff at Midway, not routed through a secondary channel, which means medication adherence counseling and treatment conversations happen in the same language the provider uses to chart and prescribe. Reducing the gap between what's explained and what's understood.

HIV Care Runs from First Test to Long-Term Treatment

Many testing sites hand off an HIV diagnosis with little more than contact information. Midway, backed by Ryan White funding, manages the entire continuum, from rapid testing and initial diagnosis through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence support, without transferring care elsewhere.

Latinos Salud

Rated 5 out of 5 from 183 reviews

Latinos Salud in Miami Beach tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C. All at no fee, no appointment required. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, PrEP and PEP are on-site, and hepatitis B vaccination is offered alongside sliding-scale access for every service.

Read full overview

Zero Fees Across Every Service Offered

When a fee stands between a person and an STI test, the gap that opens can mean untreated gonorrhea, a missed hepatitis C diagnosis, or a PrEP prescription never started. Latinos Salud closes that gap entirely: HIV testing, the full bacterial panel, hepatitis C screening, PEP, PrEP, and STI treatment each carry no charge.

Spanish-Language Care Delivered Without Compromise

When clinical conversations happen in a second language, details get lost. A dosing instruction misunderstood, a symptom not mentioned, a follow-up question swallowed. At Latinos Salud, services are delivered in Spanish, so nothing about an HIV result, a treatment plan, or a PrEP consultation gets filtered through translation.

PrEP and PEP Available On-Site in Miami Beach

Latinos Salud provides both Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, with PrEP covered for uninsured patients at no cost. Having both prevention medications managed at the same site means ongoing PrEP adherence education and counseling happens alongside the prescription, not as a separate appointment at a separate clinic.

Care Resource

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 394 reviews

Care Resource in Miami Beach pairs rapid HIV testing and the full bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment when results call for it; hepatitis C testing is also on the panel. Every service runs on a sliding scale, and walk-ins are welcome.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs on Zero-Dollar Terms

Care Resource carries the full scope of STI testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, HIV medical management, and both hepatitis A and HPV vaccines. All at no charge. For anyone without a regular provider, paying cash, or navigating care without insurance, that means nothing is gated behind cost at any point in treatment.

Haitian Creole and Spanish Are Clinical Languages Here

Many clinics handle language access as an afterthought, a workaround bolted onto an English-first intake. Care Resource conducts care directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, so nuanced conversations about symptoms, medications, and follow-up happen in the language a person reasons and remembers in.

DoxyPEP Joins PrEP and PEP on the Formulary

Care Resource prescribes all three of the current frontline bacterial and viral prevention medications: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, for reducing gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis risk. Having DoxyPEP available alongside the others reflects a prevention formulary that keeps pace with current clinical guidance.

Three Prevention Medications, One Address in Miami Beach

The clinic holds standing capability to prescribe PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP — the full current range of HIV and bacterial STI prevention medications — without a referral to an outside provider. For anyone without a regular prescriber or paying out of pocket, pharmacy support including home delivery where available means the prescription doesn't stall after the visit.

CAN Community Health in Miami Beach delivers rapid and conventional HIV testing, a full bacterial STI panel with same-visit treatment for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, plus PrEP and DoxyPEP on a sliding-scale fee. All services provided at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

When cost splits the decision between getting treated and walking away, the gap between a diagnosis and resolved care widens fast. At CAN Community Health, every service (testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, vaccines) is provided at no fee, so nothing interrupts care between a positive result and a completed prescription.

Full Spanish-Language Care, Not Just Intake

CAN Community Health conducts care in Spanish across the full visit, from test counseling through medication adherence education, which means someone managing PrEP adherence or navigating hepatitis B treatment isn't parsing clinical instructions in a second language at the moment precision matters most.

Ryan White Funds HIV Care From First Test Onward

CAN Community Health is Ryan White-funded, covering HIV testing through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling in a single care relationship, so a new HIV diagnosis doesn't require rebuilding trust or continuity with a different provider to access managed care.

STDs & HIV in Miami-Dade County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Miami-Dade County, the county that includes Miami Beach, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Miami-Dade County HIV care continuum (2023)

Miami-Dade County recorded 44.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Miami-Dade County residents living with HIV, 92% know their status · 68.9% are in care · 60.5% 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 Miami-Dade County tests for syphilis.

About Miami Beach, FL

Miami Beach households skew toward single adults and couples without children far more than the national norm: with fewer than half of adults married, health decisions here tend to be personal calls rather than family ones, made between shifts, after a late dinner on Española Way, or during a rare slow hour on a weekend. That independence has real implications for sexual health: when no one else is nudging you toward a clinic, the ease of getting there matters enormously. The rental majority here tells part of the story.

At typical Miami Beach rents, monthly budgets stay tight even for people earning decent wages, which means a costly or time-consuming screening can feel genuinely hard to justify: not because people don't care, but because every errand competes with rent, groceries, and keeping up with a city that doesn't slow down. Younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI transmission runs highest, are disproportionately in that rental squeeze, and convenient, affordable options shorten the gap between "I should get tested" and actually going. Whether you're near Indian Beach Park or cutting over on Alton Road, same-week appointments are within reach for most residents without a car, which in a dense, working city like this is the practical detail that changes outcomes.

Confidentiality & consent in Florida Minor 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.
