Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Orange Park, FL. The nearest, Labcorp, is about 0.6 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
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.

Coastal Community Health Services in Orange Park runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, with Medicare and private insurance also accepted. The standard panel covers rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB, appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP and PEP on hand.
Coastal Community Health Services carries both PrEP and PEP in-house, which means the clinician managing your testing is the same one writing the prescription. No handoff to a separate provider and no gap between a result and a prevention plan.
Plenty of STI clinics cap their panel at the four bacterial and viral basics and send hepatitis screening elsewhere. Coastal Community Health Services folds hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing directly into its panel, so a single appointment covers both the infections most clinics track and the ones they typically don't.

Florida Department of Health in Clay County, in Orange Park, runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, bacterial infections treated the same visit, with sliding-scale fees and no-fee services available.
All services at Florida Department of Health in Clay County are provided at no fee, which means the full scope of testing, treatment, and prevention, from hepatitis C care to DoxyPEP, stays within reach without a cost calculation at checkout.
Leaving a clinic with only a test result and no prevention plan means tracking down a separate prescriber for PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP. A gap that delays protection. Florida Department of Health in Clay County prescribes all three at the same appointment where testing happens.
At Florida Department of Health in Clay County, a hepatitis C diagnosis moves directly into treatment: antiviral therapy is prescribed and monitored by clinical staff on-site, so viral load follow-up and medication management happen within the same facility rather than requiring a separate specialist referral.

Palms Medical Group in Fleming Island is a full-service medical clinic where STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) sits alongside primary care, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointments required; interpretation services extend that care across languages.
Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at Palms Medical Group, which means a patient's symptoms, sexual history, and treatment plan can be communicated with full precision. Nothing compressed or approximated because of a language gap.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Palms Medical Group tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) plus TB. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also available on-site, so a reactive hepatitis result can move immediately toward a prevention plan for household contacts.

Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with fees scaled to income for those paying out of pocket. Appointments are required for rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing HIV prevention, whether daily prophylaxis or post-exposure medication, is handled by the same clinicians who manage your testing and treatment, without routing prescriptions through a separate provider.
Without Title X, a minor seeking STI testing or family planning risks having results surface on a parent's insurance explanation of benefits. A disclosure that can derail care entirely. Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville operates under Title X, which legally protects the confidentiality of those services for minors, so that barrier doesn't exist here.
When language support fails at a clinic, the real cost is precision. A misunderstood symptom timeline, a dosing instruction lost in approximation, an exposure detail that never gets documented. Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville provides interpretation services for non-English languages so that clinical conversation stays accurate across every step of a visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clay County, the county that includes Orange Park, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#43 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 36% of the state
| Infection | Clay County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 340.7 792 cases ▼ 32% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 114.4 266 cases ▼ 45% | 206.7 | 179.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Clay County, chlamydia has fallen from 352.8 to 340.7 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 144.3 to 114.4 per 100,000 (21%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5 to 11.2 per 100,000 (124%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Clay County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clay County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clay County recorded 14.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clay County residents living with HIV, 80.2% are in care · 69.8% 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.
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 Clay County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 17 cuts through the heart of Orange Park, and the households lining its corridor tend to run larger than the national average, with families rather than singles making up the backbone of daily life here. Nearly half of adults are married, and with household sizes well above two, health decisions often ripple outward: a positive screen affects partners, children sharing a home, sometimes extended family. That dynamic makes routine testing less of a private errand and more of a quiet act of household responsibility.
The economic picture shapes how people approach it. Most residents own their homes, but a substantial share rent, and with unemployment running meaningfully higher than typical suburban benchmarks, cost and scheduling can be real considerations. Fewer than one in four households clears six figures, so a clinic visit that is affordable and doesn't require burning half a workday matters. The options listed on this page span the area in and around Orange Park, reachable by a drive along Kingsley Avenue or down River Road depending on where you live, in neighborhoods like Alexander Pointe or Ortega Hills.
Clay County's STI figures are what ground the stakes locally. Young adults, people in their late teens and twenties forming new relationships, represent the years when rates climb sharpest. For someone settled into Orange Park's family-oriented fabric, keeping current with screening is simply part of knowing what you're bringing home.
Getting there
At 9.78/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Orange Park generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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).
In Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
