Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
The fee schedule here bottoms out at nothing: across testing, STI treatment, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines, and prevention services, the cost is zero. Sliding-scale billing exists for context, but no service at this clinic carries a charge.
Haitian Creole Is the Clinical Language Here
Haitian Creole is the operational language of the Center for Haitian Studies, not an accommodation layered onto English-first care. Counseling, test results, and treatment conversations happen in Creole, which shapes how clearly risk, follow-up, and prevention land for Miami's Haitian community.
Biscayne Center North Suite 505, in North Miami, earned its federally qualified health center designation by anchoring sliding-scale fees to each patient's income: meaning syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening stays within reach regardless of what someone earns or carries for insurance.

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.

Miami Shores wraps around Biscayne Boulevard with the kind of settled, owner-occupied character that makes it feel less like a suburb and more like a genuinely rooted neighborhood, the sort of place where nearly nine in ten households hold the deed to their home and three or four people typically share it together. That stability shapes daily rhythms here: working families with fuller schedules, longer to-do lists, and less flexibility to carve out midweek appointments. With close to six in ten households clearing six figures, the area carries real financial confidence, yet unemployment running at a meaningful clip means a noticeable share of residents are navigating job searches, coverage gaps, and tighter calendars all at once.
For people in their late teens and twenties, those years when new relationships overlap with the lowest rates of routine screening, those pressures compound. A young adult near North Miami or along Northeast 2nd Avenue who is between jobs or between insurance plans needs an option that doesn't ask them to reorganize a whole day around one visit. From that corner of Miami Shores, a same-day appointment is genuinely close.

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.
