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.

Seven Infections Tested, Including Herpes and Hepatitis
Total MD tests for infections (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) plus TB. Herpes and hepatitis C in particular are routinely omitted from narrower panels, and their inclusion here means active infections aren't left undetected by scope alone.
Clinical Spanish at Total MD, Fort Lauderdale
Spanish-language care at Total MD operates at the clinical level: medication adherence counseling, STI prevention education, and HIV test counseling are all conducted in Spanish. That capacity means nuanced conversations about dosing, follow-up, and risk reduction don't lose precision in translation.

Christos Care Medical in Lauderhill tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee structure open to all. Appointments are required, bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and care is delivered in five named languages.

Five Named Languages, Staff-Level Fluency
Christos Care Medical conducts care in Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish, five languages spoken at the staff level, with interpretation services extending beyond those five. That breadth means clinical conversations about diagnosis, adherence, and prevention happen without a relay.
DoxyPEP Is on the Prevention Menu Here
Many clinics offer PrEP and PEP but stop there, leaving doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis, DoxyPEP, off the table entirely. Christos Care Medical prescribes all three, so bacterial STI prevention after a potential exposure sits alongside ongoing HIV prevention in a single clinical relationship.
Hepatitis C Treatment Stays Inside Christos Care
Christos Care Medical in Lauderhill carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, not just antibody detection. A confirmed diagnosis moves directly into antiviral management at the same clinic, which removes the gap between knowing and treating that an outside referral would otherwise create.

Mendez Medical Center in Lauderhill requires an appointment and covers the full standard panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and delivers care in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested on the Same Visit
Beyond the four-infection baseline, Mendez tests for herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB in a single appointment. That means one visit generates answers across infections that otherwise require separate scheduling, each result coming back through the same provider who ordered the test.
PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here Directly
Mendez Medical Center holds standing capacity to prescribe and manage both PrEP and PEP, the daily pill for ongoing HIV prevention and the post-exposure course, without sending patients to an outside prescriber. For anyone without a regular provider who needs either medication, the prescribing relationship starts and stays here.
Clinical Staff Carry Conversations in Spanish
Spanish is a working language of the clinical staff at Mendez, not a supplementary service. That means medical history, test results, and treatment decisions move through a direct conversation. No intermediary, no delayed clarification.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel
For anyone without a regular provider who needs answers beyond the standard four, Infinity Healthcare Group's panel extends to herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C. All tested in one appointment rather than pieced together across separate visits. That breadth is especially useful when symptoms or history point somewhere specific.
Clinical Care Conducted Fully in Spanish
Spanish speakers who want to work through test results, treatment plans, and medication adherence counseling in Spanish can do all of that at Infinity Healthcare Group. No switching registers mid-appointment. For someone whose primary care happens entirely in Spanish, that continuity holds from the first question to the follow-up conversation.
Lauderdale Lakes Health Center exists for people navigating gaps in coverage: uninsured residents, cash-paying patients, and anyone without a regular provider. As an NHSC sliding-fee site within federal FQHC status, it scales costs to income, offering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening without a fixed price barrier.

STDs & HIV in Broward County: the local picture
How reported STI rates in Broward County, the county that includes North Lauderdale, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

Broward County HIV care continuum (2023)
Broward County recorded 32.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Broward County residents living with HIV, 96.2% know their status · 78.9% are in care · 72.2% 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 Broward County tests for syphilis.

Tamarac and Margate brush up against North Lauderdale's northern edge, and the households closest to those borders tend to look a lot like the city itself: large families, most adults holding down jobs, and a sizable share juggling rent rather than a mortgage. With nearly three in four residents active in the workforce and unemployment running notably above Florida's statewide norm, many people here are working multiple jobs or irregular hours, which means a Tuesday afternoon clinic appointment can feel like a scheduling puzzle that never quite solves itself. That workforce pressure matters most for the younger adults in their late teens and twenties who account for a substantial slice of North Lauderdale's population, because this is the life stage when STI rates climb and when screening is most likely to get postponed rather than planned.
Average household sizes here run well above four people, meaning a positive result that goes undetected doesn't stay contained to one person's health for long. With just over one in eight households reaching six-figure income, cost is a real consideration, and the clinics listed on this page span a range of fee structures, including low-cost and sliding-scale options, so price alone doesn't have to be the reason a test waits another month.

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.
