FoundCare in North Palm Beach requires an appointment, but that single visit can cover the full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee, all the way to no cost.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
FoundCare's fee structure bottoms out at nothing: testing, treatment, PrEP, HIV medical care, hepatitis treatment, and vaccines, including mpox and HPV, are all available at no charge. The sliding scale doesn't stop partway through the service menu; it covers it entirely.
Haitian Creole and Spanish, Staffed Directly
FoundCare operates with clinical staff fluent in both Haitian Creole and Spanish, meaning counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment conversations happen in those languages without a relay. That applies across the full care continuum, from initial testing through ongoing HIV or hepatitis management.
Ryan White Funding Closes the HIV Care Gap
Many clinics test for HIV and stop, ongoing medical management happens somewhere else, on a separate timeline. FoundCare is Ryan White-funded, which means HIV care continues from a reactive result through antiretroviral treatment and long-term management without leaving the practice.

Helix Urgent Care in North Palm Beach runs the full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, rapid and conventional HIV) on a walk-in basis, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and care available in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four
Helix tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning a single visit can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unaddressed.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Many urgent-care settings handle acute care and send HIV prevention to a specialist elsewhere: Helix prescribes both PrEP and PEP in-house, keeping initiation and follow-up under the same roof as your testing.
Spanish-Speaking Staff, Not a Patched-In Service
Spanish-language care at Helix is delivered by staff, so clinical conversations (symptom history, treatment instructions, medication adherence counseling) happen directly, without a relay that compresses or delays the exchange.

Spanish-Speaking Care, No Go-Between Needed
For someone navigating PrEP, hepatitis C treatment, or an STI diagnosis in Spanish, WellView Care in Riviera Beach delivers that care directly in the language: not relayed through a third party, but spoken fluently in the clinical conversation where the details about dosing, follow-up, and side effects actually matter.

Zero Cost Means No Gap in Care
When cost stands between a person and follow-through, testing happens but counseling gets skipped, or an appointment gets canceled because the bill is unpredictable. Health Council of Southeast Florida charges nothing for any service it provides: rapid HIV testing, prevention education, and medication adherence support all carry a flat fee of zero, so the full course of care stays intact.
Medication adherence counseling loses its precision when a patient has to approximate, a dosing schedule misunderstood in a second language becomes a missed dose. Health Council of Southeast Florida delivers HIV prevention education and adherence support directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, so the clinical conversation carries its full weight.
Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care Through Treatment
Ryan White Program funding at Health Council of Southeast Florida extends the scope of HIV care beyond a single test result, it supports the continuum from initial rapid HIV testing through ongoing medication adherence education and counseling, keeping people engaged in treatment without the financial barriers that interrupt long-term HIV management.

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 Palm Beach County tests for syphilis.

North Palm Beach carries the feel of a settled community: most households here own their homes, half of adults are married, and the streets near John D MacArthur Beach State Park have the quiet heft of a place people have stayed in for a while. That surface stability is real. But a labor-force participation rate well under two-thirds means a substantial share of residents aren't working standard schedules, and nearly a quarter of households rent, many of them paying rents that leave little cushion for discretionary healthcare visits. Those renters skew younger, and it's younger adults (people still forming relationships, navigating new partners, often uninsured or underinsured) who most need routine STI screening to remain routine.
In a village where US 1 and Old Dixie Highway are the practical spine for most errands, the fact that the testing options appear on this page matters: the geography doesn't force a long trip, and clinics keep hours that don't assume a nine-to-five. Cost pressure is still real, though. When rent takes a significant bite and a household's income doesn't reach the high-earner bracket, a clinic visit can get quietly weighed against other expenses. The options here include low- and no-cost appointments specifically so that calculus doesn't land the wrong way, and with Riviera Beach reachable along Federal Highway, access is less a question of distance than of knowing what's available.

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.
