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.
Haitian Creole and Spanish Spoken on Site
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.

FoundCare – North Palm Beach earned its Federally Qualified Health Center designation by tying fees directly to patient income, so sliding-scale STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) stays within reach regardless of what someone can pay. Walk-ins are welcome; no appointment needed.

840 US Highway 1, Suite 120, North Palm Beach, FL 33408
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.
Read full overviewShow less
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.

Florida Community Health Centers in West Palm Beach meets people where the system often falls short: uninsured, cash-paying, or simply between providers.

Every Service Runs on a Zero-Dollar Balance
Sliding-scale clinics still hand you a bill at the end, adjusted, but real. Monarch Health Services in West Palm Beach charges nothing for any service it provides, so the panel, the treatment, the counseling, and the prevention tools all leave your wallet untouched.
A diagnosis landed in a language you're not fully fluent in is a diagnosis half-received, the nuance slips, the follow-up gets skipped. Monarch Health Services conducts care directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, with interpretation available for additional languages, so nothing about a result or a treatment plan gets lost in translation.
DoxyPEP, PrEP, and PEP Under One Prevention Strategy
Monarch Health Services in West Palm Beach carries all three leading prevention tools: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after sexual exposure to reduce bacterial STI risk, giving providers a layered toolkit that matches prevention to the specific scenario rather than defaulting to a single option.

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.

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.

PGA Boulevard runs through one of Palm Beach County's more comfortable zip codes, and that comfort is real for many residents: nearly three-quarters own their homes, and a sizable share of households clear six figures. But owning property and carrying a mortgage are not the same as having cash left over for discretionary healthcare, and for the roughly one-in-four households renting at typical Palm Beach Gardens rates, a spontaneous clinic visit can feel like one more line item in an already stretched month. That cost-of-living texture matters most for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties still building careers and relationships, who represent the slice of the population where STI rates climb highest.
Palm Beach Gardens skews toward established, married households, with more than half of adults partnered and average household sizes comfortably above two people, which shapes the community's rhythms but does not erase the need for routine screening among adults at every stage. The options listed on this page serve residents in and around Palm Beach Gardens, and with labor-force participation relatively modest for a city this size, weekday appointment windows are more accessible for some residents than the nine-to-five assumption suggests.

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.
