Brevard Health Alliance in Malabar requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead is the access point, and that single visit covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance.

Hepatitis C Screening Beyond the Bacterial Four
Plenty of STI clinics test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and stop there. Hepatitis C testing isn't on the menu. Brevard Health Alliance adds it, alongside a hepatitis A vaccine and adult hepatitis B vaccine, so viral hepatitis exposure doesn't have to send you somewhere else entirely.
PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site
PrEP at Brevard Health Alliance isn't a handoff, the clinic prescribes the daily oral medication and carries the follow-up testing that keeping someone on PrEP actually requires: regular HIV checks and kidney and creatinine monitoring built into ongoing appointments. PEP is also available for post-exposure prevention.
Spanish-Language Care Staffed Into the Clinic
Many clinics handle a language gap reactively, patching it together at the appointment. Spanish-speaking care at Brevard Health Alliance is woven into the clinic's capacity itself: meaning conversations about testing, results, and prevention happen directly, without an intermediary altering the exchange.
Bha Palm Bay Clinic in Palm Bay welcomes walk-in patients, no appointment needed, for sliding-scale STI screening. Federal qualification anchors its fee structure to income, and a single visit can cover testing for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia under that same affordable, income-adjusted rate.

Florida Department of Health in Brevard County in Melbourne tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; an appointment is required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit; services are available in Spanish.

Spanish-Speaking Staff Handle Full Clinical Care
Spanish-language capacity at this Melbourne clinic is staffed through clinical personnel, meaning counseling, exposure history review, treatment decisions, and follow-up instructions all happen directly in Spanish. No relay through a separate service. For patients managing hepatitis monitoring or STI treatment, that directness shapes what gets communicated and acted on.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Sit Alongside the Standard Four
The panel here runs to hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing plus herpes, expanding well beyond the gonorrhea-chlamydia-syphilis-HIV baseline. Hepatitis B and C require distinct clinical follow-up, and having the serology drawn at the same appointment as bacterial testing keeps that process from splitting across providers.

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost
Healthcare Unity Group carries no charge for any service: testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, and hepatitis B and C treatment included. For someone managing care without a regular provider or paying entirely out of pocket, that means medication and follow-up are as financially accessible as the initial test.
ASL, Haitian Creole, and Spanish Spoken Directly
Staff at Healthcare Unity Group deliver care directly in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. For a Deaf patient navigating a sensitive appointment, or a Haitian Creole or Spanish speaker discussing prevention options, that direct fluency changes what can actually be communicated and decided during a visit.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Available Together
Healthcare Unity Group prescribes all three current biomedical prevention tools: daily oral PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV risk reduction, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after sex, to reduce bacterial STI acquisition. Having all three at the same clinic means prevention strategy can be adjusted as circumstances change, without switching providers.

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 Brevard County tests for syphilis.

The lagoons and waterfront parks that define Palm Bay's appeal, places like Liberty Park and Oakwood Park where families spend weekends, sit alongside a population where people tend to stay put, building lives across decades in neighborhoods like Bayside Lakes and Eagle Crest. That stability, and the presence of so many young adults establishing themselves here, makes routine STI screening a natural part of ordinary preventive care, not an event or crisis. Testing in and around Palm Bay listed on this page reflects how the town actually lives: clinics and providers positioned to fit the rhythms of work, school, and household schedules.
Confidentiality here matters in a particular way, in a place where extended family often shares a roof and neighbors have history, and the clinics available respect that reality without making it a barrier. Screening catches infections early, when treatment is straightforward and transmission risk drops. For young adults building careers and relationships, for people in multigenerational homes weighing household health, for anyone who values knowing their status without fanfare, the testing resources in and around Palm Bay offer a straightforward path.

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.
