Full Care Conducted in Spanish
Clinical care at Infinity Healthcare Group runs fully in Spanish: not just intake, but treatment conversations, PrEP counseling, and hepatitis management. That continuity means nothing gets compressed or lost when a patient and provider are working through a complex medication regimen or a multi-step diagnosis.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site
Infinity Healthcare Group carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services, meaning the prescribing relationship lives here. No separate infectious disease referral needed. For someone without a regular provider who needs ongoing PrEP adherence support or a fast PEP prescription, that in-house capacity is the practical difference.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
Direct-acting antiviral treatment for hepatitis C (the curative drug course, not just the antibody screen) is delivered at Infinity Healthcare Group itself. That means the monitoring appointments and treatment course stay with one clinical team in Sunrise rather than requiring a separate gastroenterology or infectious disease practice.

Mendez Medical Center in Lauderhill requires an appointment and covers the full standard panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and delivers care in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested on the Same Visit
Beyond the four-infection baseline, Mendez tests for herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB in a single appointment. That means one visit generates answers across infections that otherwise require separate scheduling, each result coming back through the same provider who ordered the test.
PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here Directly
Mendez Medical Center holds standing capacity to prescribe and manage both PrEP and PEP, the daily pill for ongoing HIV prevention and the post-exposure course, without sending patients to an outside prescriber. For anyone without a regular provider who needs either medication, the prescribing relationship starts and stays here.
Clinical Staff Carry Conversations in Spanish
Spanish is a working language of the clinical staff at Mendez, not a supplementary service. That means medical history, test results, and treatment decisions move through a direct conversation. No intermediary, no delayed clarification.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
All services at Broward Community and Family Health Centers carry no charge, and the concrete effect is that a patient managing multiple needs, say PrEP alongside STI treatment, moves through both without a billing split that would otherwise stall one or the other.
Haitian Creole and Spanish Are Working Clinical Languages
Haitian Creole and Spanish are staffed languages at Broward Community and Family Health Centers, meaning prescriptions are explained, adherence counseling is conducted, and medication monitoring conversations happen directly in those languages. Not routed through a secondary layer.
Ryan White Covers HIV Care from First Test Forward
Ryan White funding at Broward Community and Family Health Centers supports patients who need ongoing HIV medical treatment and medication adherence counseling but lack a consistent provider or the means to sustain care privately, the program holds the continuum from initial rapid testing through long-term HIV management.

Christos Care Medical in Lauderhill tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee structure open to all. Appointments are required, bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and care is delivered in five named languages.

Five Named Languages, Staff-Level Fluency
Christos Care Medical conducts care in Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish, five languages spoken at the staff level, with interpretation services extending beyond those five. That breadth means clinical conversations about diagnosis, adherence, and prevention happen without a relay.
DoxyPEP Is on the Prevention Menu Here
Many clinics offer PrEP and PEP but stop there, leaving doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis, DoxyPEP, off the table entirely. Christos Care Medical prescribes all three, so bacterial STI prevention after a potential exposure sits alongside ongoing HIV prevention in a single clinical relationship.
Hepatitis C Treatment Stays Inside Christos Care
Christos Care Medical in Lauderhill carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, not just antibody detection. A confirmed diagnosis moves directly into antiviral management at the same clinic, which removes the gap between knowing and treating that an outside referral would otherwise create.

Alive and Well Community Partners in Lauderhill runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted, so cost adjusts to what you actually owe. By appointment, the clinic tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and care delivered in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Don't Get Skipped Here
Plenty of testing sites cap their panel at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: herpes and hepatitis require a separate appointment somewhere else, or never get checked at all. Alive and Well runs hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing alongside a herpes screen in the same visit, closing gaps that a narrower panel leaves open.
Spanish Care Without a Secondary Step
When care at a clinic isn't available in Spanish, patients often cycle through a second appointment, a separate provider, or leave with instructions they have to piece together later. Each gap a point where follow-through breaks down. At Alive and Well, Spanish is woven into the clinical interaction itself, so nothing about your diagnosis, treatment plan, or prevention options gets lost between languages.
PrEP and PEP Are Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Alive and Well prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly: PrEP as an ongoing regimen requiring periodic HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and PEP as a time-sensitive course that the clinic initiates and tracks through completion. Uninsured patients have a dedicated pathway for PrEP coverage, keeping the medication from stalling at the pharmacy.
Primary Medical Care Center in Lauderdale Lakes accepts Medicare and most insurance, with fees scaling for those without coverage, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Walk-ins welcome, bacterial STIs treated same visit, care delivered in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Added to Every Panel
Primary Medical Care Center tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the core bacterial and HIV screen, meaning a single visit produces a genuinely complete picture. Rather than leaving two of the most common infections undetected until symptoms force the question.
Many sexual health clinics test and educate but hand off prevention prescriptions to a primary care provider. Primary Medical Care Center writes and manages PrEP directly, and also provides PEP, so ongoing prevention doesn't require coordinating a separate clinical relationship.
Spanish-Language Care Staffed Into Clinical Workflow
Spanish at Primary Medical Care Center is built into the clinical staff itself: counseling, medication adherence education, and STI treatment conversations happen directly in Spanish, without routing communication through a separate service layer that sits outside the exam room.
Lauderdale Lakes Health Center exists for people navigating gaps in coverage: uninsured residents, cash-paying patients, and anyone without a regular provider. As an NHSC sliding-fee site within federal FQHC status, it scales costs to income, offering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening without a fixed price barrier.

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 Broward County residents living with HIV, 96.2% know their status · 78.9% are in care · 72.2% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Broward County tests for syphilis.

Plantation's rhythm runs on the steady pace of established careers and family routines, households that span generations, schedules built around work that demands reliability. That rhythm doesn't pause for health concerns, and privacy matters when you live in a community where people recognize faces at the grocery store and run into colleagues at the gym. Testing for sexually transmitted infections fits into life here not as crisis management but as straightforward health maintenance, the kind of screening that happens quietly alongside annual checkups and dental visits. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties (whether they're launching careers, managing partnerships, or both) have access to confidential STI testing in and around Plantation listed on this page.
Clinics in the area understand that discretion isn't negotiable; what you discuss with a provider stays there, and results are yours alone to share or keep private. The convenience factor matters in a community where time is currency. Testing locations near familiar neighborhoods and main corridors like West Broward Boulevard make it possible to fit screening into an actual day without rearranging work or family obligations. Knowing your status is ordinary healthcare, the kind of thing that takes an hour and requires no announcement.

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.
