University of Miami Health System in Miami runs appointment-based STI care with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, a panel that extends to herpes, hepatitis, and TB, and fees billed through insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Spanish-language care is built into the clinical staff.

Herpes and Hepatitis Are in the Panel
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV cover the basics, but herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB regularly go undetected precisely because many clinics don't include them. University of Miami Health System tests for all of them, meaning one appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would simply miss.
PrEP and PEP Are Prescribed Here
Tenofovir-based PrEP, taken daily to block HIV acquisition, is prescribed and managed at University of Miami Health System, which means ongoing monitoring, refills, and adherence counseling happen at the same address. PEP is also available, keeping both ends of the HIV prevention timeline under the same clinical team.
Spanish Care Delivered by Clinical Staff
For someone whose primary language is Spanish (whether navigating a new diagnosis, managing PrEP adherence, or working through a treatment plan) University of Miami Health System delivers that care directly in Spanish. The conversation stays clinical and complete without anything lost between languages.
Community Health of South a Miami community health center, brings the full STI panel (including rapid HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) under the same clinical infrastructure as primary care, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointments required; care is delivered in Haitian Creole and Spanish.

Haitian Creole and Spanish Are Clinical Languages Here
Community Health of South Florida staffs Haitian Creole and Spanish directly into its Miami clinical operations, not routed through an external service. That means medication counseling, risk assessment, and follow-up instructions are delivered in the language the provider is already working in.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Miami
Without on-site PrEP and PEP, patients navigating HIV prevention face a gap between testing and prescription. A separate specialist, a separate appointment. Community Health of South Florida closes that gap: both medications are prescribed at the Miami clinic, keeping prevention continuous rather than contingent.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares Staff With STI Care
Community Health of South Florida runs substance-use treatment within the same Miami clinical structure as its STI services, meaning the same care team can coordinate treatment plans, monitor drug interactions with HIV or hepatitis regimens, and flag overlapping clinical concerns without handoffs between separate programs.
CHS Children's Behavioral Clinic in Miami carries full federally qualified health center standing, anchoring its STI care in a sliding-scale fee structure tied to income. Walk-ins are welcome, and a single visit can cover syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening without scheduling ahead.

Spanish-Language Care From First Question to Treatment
For someone without a regular provider who reasons and negotiates their health in Spanish, this is the clinic where the entire visit (history, results, treatment decisions) runs in Spanish without workarounds. That standing capability means nothing gets compressed or softened in translation when the stakes are highest.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Alongside the Standard Panel
Anyone without a primary care doctor who needs a thorough baseline, not just the four core STIs, will find that hepatitis A, B, and C testing sits inside the same appointment at Community Health and Wellness Center of Miami. For someone paying fees out of a single visit budget, consolidating that broader workup here avoids scheduling a separate lab visit elsewhere.
A community safety-net federally qualified health center about 5 miles from Richmond West. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.

Every Visit Here Costs Nothing at All
Sliding scale at most public clinics still means a bill lands at the end of the visit. At Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County in Perrine, no service carries a charge. Not the testing, not the treatment, not the vaccines. The cost is zero, full stop.

Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County in Perrine delivers care in Spanish as a standing clinical capacity, not a scheduling workaround.

PrEP at Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County in Perrine isn't a prescription handed off without context, it's a managed protocol that includes the baseline HIV and renal labs required before starting, plus the ongoing every-three-month testing cadence the medication demands.

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 Miami-Dade County tests for syphilis.

Southwest 152nd Street runs through a Richmond West where nearly four in five households own their home, a tenure profile that shapes daily life in ways a renter-dominated suburb wouldn't. Large households, close to four people on average, mean schedules are pulled in multiple directions at once, and with more than a third of the workforce either not participating or currently between jobs, discretionary spending on healthcare visits competes with mortgage payments and the other fixed costs of running a household this size.
That financial texture matters when you consider the younger adults here, people in their late teens and twenties forming relationships and navigating sexual health in a community where the options listed on this page may require driving past Kings Grant Park and out along Southwest 137th Avenue to reach a clinic that isn't around the corner. Just under half of Richmond West adults are married, meaning a meaningful share are single or newly partnered, and routine STI screening fits that reality straightforwardly: a confirmed negative result or early treatment protects a partner before a relationship deepens, which is a practical consideration in any household where one positive test affects more than one person.

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.
