Brevard Health Alliance

No ratings yet

Brevard Health Alliance in Rockledge is a community health center where STI care (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C testing) runs on a sliding-scale fee alongside same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, with appointments required and services delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish-Speaking Clinicians Staff the Entire Care Cycle

Spanish-language care at Brevard Health Alliance is staffed into the clinical encounter itself: providers who work in Spanish handle the intake, the exam, the treatment decisions, and the follow-up conversation, so nothing is filtered through a separate layer before it reaches the person being treated.

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Separate Provider Relationship

Brevard Health Alliance carries PrEP and PEP as standing clinic services, which means someone paying out of pocket or without an established primary-care provider can get the prescription, the baseline labs, and the ongoing monitoring all from the same practice rather than assembling those pieces across separate offices.

Hepatitis C Treatment Happens Here, Keeping Care Continuous

Brevard Health Alliance treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis leads directly into a treatment relationship at the same clinic: the patient's history, lab work, and provider are already in place when the prescription conversation begins.

Curative Care Center in Rockledge runs a full STI panel (HIV by rapid or conventional test, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C) with walk-in access, sliding-scale fees, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, all at no charge.

Read full overview

Every Test and Treatment Carries Zero Cost

Every service at Curative Care Center (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, PEP) is provided at no fee, which means the full scope of care stays available without a cost calculation cutting it short.

French and Spanish Spoken Across All Services

Curative Care Center conducts care in French and Spanish (not through an add-on channel, but as a direct clinical capability) so medication adherence counseling and HIV treatment conversations happen in full, without compression or delay.

Prevention Prescriptions Written Here, Not Referred Out

Prevention-focused prescribing rarely sits inside a testing clinic, yet Curative Care Center maintains PrEP and PEP as active on-site services. Meaning both daily HIV prevention and post-exposure management are handled by the same clinical team that runs your panel.

Rated 2.9 out of 5 from 51 reviews

Florida Department of Health in Brevard County's Viera clinic requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead is the move, but that single visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with fees on a sliding scale and same-visit bacterial treatment. Spanish-language care is available on-site.

Read full overview

Spanish Care Is the Visit, Not an Add-On

Plenty of clinics handle Spanish through workarounds, a bilingual staffer pulled from another desk, a language line patched in mid-appointment. At Florida Department of Health in Brevard County in Viera, Spanish is a direct service capability, meaning the conversation about symptoms, history, and next steps happens in Spanish without a relay in the middle.

Herpes and Hepatitis Don't Require a Second Clinic

Leaving herpes or hepatitis off a panel means a second appointment somewhere else, another scheduling gap, another co-pay, another stretch of uncertainty while an untreated infection continues. Florida Department of Health in Brevard County in Viera tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel, so a single scheduled visit closes that gap entirely.

Project Response in Melbourne tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and delivers every service, including STI testing, HIV testing, and hepatitis C testing, at no charge on a sliding scale.

Read full overview

Zero Charge Across the Full Service Menu

Project Response carries no fee for any service it provides: not for the rapid HIV test, not for hepatitis C treatment, not for the Mpox vaccine, not for PrEP or DoxyPEP. Sliding-scale pricing applies across the board, and donations are accepted but never required.

Eight Languages Spoken Directly by Staff

Project Response operates in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole (alongside Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) meaning clinical conversations happen in the language a person reasons in, without relay services between the provider and the patient.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Without a Gap in the Chain

When prevention requires more than one tool simultaneously (PrEP for ongoing HIV protection, PEP after an exposure, and DoxyPEP to reduce bacterial STI risk) a fragmented referral network means delays that erode each medication's effectiveness. Project Response prescribes all three, so no gap opens between a person's need and their prescription.

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 Brevard County residents living with HIV, 86.3% are in care · 77.8% are virally suppressed.

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.

Local context

About Rockledge, FL

Rockledge Boulevard stretches through a city where most households own their homes and more than half of adults are married, a profile that shapes how health decisions get made. When coverage lapses, a conversation with a partner, or a change in insurance mid-year comes up, those choices ripple across households that average three people. With roughly a quarter of residents earning six figures and a meaningful share working outside the labor force entirely, the cost and scheduling realities of getting tested land very differently depending on which household you're in.

Young adults, people in their late teens and twenties building relationships and navigating new insurance situations, are the group where STI transmission concentrates most sharply, and Rockledge's calendar fills fast between work, family, and a commute. The options listed on this page serve in and around Rockledge, spanning toward Cocoa and Merritt Island, so reaching one realistically means planning around a drive rather than a short walk from Levitt Park or McKnight Family Sports Complex.

Brevard County's STI figures reflect transmission patterns seen across Florida's Space Coast corridor, where gaps in routine screening allow infections to circulate well past the point of easy treatment. For someone living here, staying current means not letting a busy household schedule stretch a routine test into a years-long gap, because the county numbers show the cost of that delay.

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.
