Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 92 reviews

Florida Department of Health in Lee County, Fort Myers tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone: appointments are required, bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and all services are provided at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs at No Charge

When cost sits between a person and treatment, gaps open. An untreated bacterial infection lingers, a vaccine gets skipped, a PrEP prescription stays unfilled. At Florida Department of Health in Lee County, that gap doesn't exist: every service, from the full panel to STI treatment to vaccines, carries no fee.

Haitian Creole and Spanish, Fully Staffed

Many clinics handle languages at arm's length, routing care through workarounds that slow everything down. Florida Department of Health in Lee County delivers services directly in both Haitian Creole and Spanish: the clinical conversation, counseling, and follow-up happen in the language the provider and patient share.

PrEP and PEP Managed On-Site in Fort Myers

Tenofovir-based daily PrEP and post-exposure PEP are both prescribed and managed at Florida Department of Health in Lee County: meaning the prescription, monitoring, and medication adherence counseling stay with the same clinical team rather than fragmenting across separate providers.

Lee Health

No ratings yet

Lee Health brings STI care through a health system infrastructure in Fort Myers, with the standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C) treated on a sliding scale, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments required. Spanish and interpretation services are staffed across care.

Read full overview

Spanish Spoken, Interpretation Staffed On-Site

Spanish is available directly through Lee Health's staff, and interpretation services for other languages are operationally integrated into appointments. Not routed through an external line mid-visit. That means the clinician conducting your exam, reviewing results, and explaining your treatment plan can communicate with you in real time, with no lag or relay.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here

Lee Health carries PrEP as a standing clinical service, including a dedicated assistance pathway for uninsured patients, so cost isn't the barrier that ends the conversation. For people without a regular provider who need ongoing PrEP monitoring (labs, prescription renewals, follow-up) this is a clinic equipped to own that relationship from the start.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

A positive hepatitis C result at Lee Health doesn't hand off to a specialist queue, treatment is prescribed and monitored within the same system. That means antiviral therapy, sustained virologic response labs, and clinical follow-up are managed by the same care team that ran the initial test, rather than restarting elsewhere.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 27 reviews

The McGregor Clinic in Fort Myers tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV at no charge, with sliding-scale fees applied across all other services and appointments required. Same-visit treatment for bacterial infections included.

Read full overview

Zero-Cost Care for Every Service Offered

For anyone managing care without insurance, between providers, or stretching a tight budget through PrEP or DoxyPEP, The McGregor Clinic's standing policy is straightforward: every service (testing, treatment, prevention medication) carries no charge. That coverage holds whether you need a rapid HIV result or ongoing medication counseling.

Many clinics route non-English speakers through interpretation workarounds that slow the visit and flatten nuance. At The McGregor Clinic in Fort Myers, Haitian Creole and Spanish are available directly within the clinical encounter, with broader interpretation services extending to other languages, so the conversation about symptoms, medications, or prevention happens fully, not approximately.

Ryan White Funding Anchors HIV Care End to End

Ryan White Program funding backs The McGregor Clinic's HIV services, from initial testing through ongoing medical treatment, which means continuity of care isn't dependent on insurance status or a change in financial circumstances between appointments.

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.

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 Lee County tests for syphilis.

Others stay because the mortgage stays manageable and the neighborhood feels like the kind of place you actually know.

Confidentiality in North Fort Myers isn't abstract.

Young adults and others seeking routine screening can access testing in and around town through the clinics listed on this page: places where a test result stays between you and the clinic, with no surprise notifications to neighbors or employers. The providers here understand that testing is straightforward medical care, not a social event, and treat it that way. Routine screening catches infections early, when treatment is simplest and complications are avoidable. Whether you're new to the area or rooted here for years, the testing sites available locally offer the same confidentiality and clinical care you'd expect anywhere, without the drive north toward Fort Myers proper.

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.
