Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 117 reviews

Integrated Health Systems in West Palm Beach runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicare and most insurance, so the panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C) stays financially workable; same-visit treatment covers bacterial infections, and care is delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis C Tested Here, Not Separately

Leaving herpes or hepatitis C off the visit means a separate appointment, a separate bill, and a gap in the picture while you wait. Integrated Health Systems tests for both alongside the core bacterial panel, one appointment covers what would otherwise be two, with no untreated interval between them.

Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

PrEP at Integrated Health Systems means an ongoing prescribing relationship, including the HIV and kidney-function monitoring that sustains a tenofovir-based regimen, rather than a one-time referral. PEP is also available for post-exposure management, keeping both prevention tools within the same clinical relationship.

Spanish-Speaking Care Without a Workaround

For someone navigating PrEP initiation, a positive result, or ongoing hepatitis management primarily in Spanish, Integrated Health Systems delivers that care directly in Spanish (across counseling, treatment planning, and follow-up) so nothing gets compressed into a translated summary at the end.

Planned Parenthood of West Palm Beach folds STI testing into full reproductive health care (rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and herpes) on a sliding-scale fee with walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and services delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish-Language Care Across Every Service

Spanish speakers navigating STI care, PrEP counseling, or treatment can do so directly in Spanish at Planned Parenthood of West Palm Beach. Not through an intermediary, but with staff capable of moving through the entire clinical encounter in the language. That continuity matters when the conversation involves dosing instructions, follow-up schedules, or weighing prevention options.

Confidential Minor Services Under Title X

Without Title X standing, a minor seeking STI care or family planning on their own often hits a wall: a provider who requires parental involvement, a fee they can't cover, or a gap between testing and actual treatment. Planned Parenthood of West Palm Beach holds Title X designation, which carries the legal guarantee of confidential services for minors and direct access to the full care continuum on-site.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Planned Parenthood of West Palm Beach prescribes and manages both PrEP, including branded options like Truvada and Descovy, and PEP directly, meaning the required HIV testing, STI screening, and prescription writing all happen within the same clinic rather than requiring a separate infectious disease referral. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, including the every-three-month lab and prescription cycle, is handled here.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 15 reviews

Campbell Health Solutions in West Palm Beach requires an appointment, so visits move with purpose: covering HIV (rapid and self-test), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, same-visit bacterial treatment, and family planning, all at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost

When cost sits between a person and follow-through (whether that's completing a hepatitis C treatment course, picking up PrEP, or returning for HIV care) the gap doesn't close on its own. Campbell Health Solutions carries no fee for any of it, so the care that needs to continue actually does.

Haitian Creole and Spanish, Clinically Fluent

Campbell Health Solutions in West Palm Beach delivers care directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, meaning a patient managing an ongoing HIV treatment plan or working through a PrEP consultation has that conversation in full, without anything flattened by translation gaps.

PrEP and PEP Managed With Clinical Oversight

PrEP at Campbell Health Solutions means ongoing prescribing paired with the lab monitoring (HIV testing, kidney function, STI screening) that keeping someone safely on Truvada or Descovy actually requires. PEP is similarly staffed and prescribed on-site, not coordinated from a distance.

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.

Palm Beach County recorded 20 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Palm Beach County residents living with HIV, 85.9% know their status · 74.4% are in care · 67% 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 Palm Beach County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Palm Beach, FL

El Bravo, El Vedado, and El Brillo form the quieter residential spine of Palm Beach, where the streets off South County Road are lined with households that have largely stayed put for years. That stability shows in the ownership picture: the overwhelming majority of residents own their homes, many carrying mortgages tied to property values that rank among the highest in the state. It also shows in the household makeup, where most adults are married and living in smaller, settled units rather than the churning rental turnover common in younger cities. With nearly two-thirds of households earning six figures or more, the financial case for skipping a screening visit is rarely the barrier here, yet the town's unusually low labor-force participation means daily schedules look different from most places: many residents are retired or semi-retired, while the adults who are working often keep demanding or irregular hours tied to the professional and service economy along US 1.

That compressed working-age group, people in their late teens and twenties, represents a small slice of Palm Beach's population, but they are exactly the group for whom a straightforward appointment matters most. Chlamydia and gonorrhea move fastest among younger adults still building their relationship histories, and a single untreated case rarely stays quiet. The Norton Museum of Art sits a few blocks from that corridor, and the clinics nearest to it offer the most practical first stop for anyone on the island side making the crossing.

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.
