Every Test and Consultation Carries Zero Cost
The gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV tests each carry a flat cost of zero. Not reduced, not deferred, but eliminated entirely. That same zero applies to HIV test counseling and medication adherence education, so nothing on the service list generates a bill.
Spanish Is the Working Language of Care Here
Aspira de Puerto Rico staffs its counseling and testing services in Spanish, not through a relay system but as the primary operational language of every clinical interaction. HIV test counseling and prevention education are conducted in Spanish by the providers themselves.

HealthproMed Foundation in Carolina anchors STI care within a full-service community health model, offering rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia on a sliding scale, with bacterial infections treated same visit, by appointment, with all services provided at no fee.

Zero-Cost Care With Real Downstream Reach
All services at HealthproMed Foundation are provided at no fee, which means a patient managing ongoing HIV treatment or starting PrEP never has to weigh medication adherence counseling against what they can afford that week. The full scope of care stays available without interruption.
Spanish Is the Clinical Language Here
Spanish is the operating language of care at HealthproMed Foundation in Carolina, not a supplemental accommodation. Medication adherence counseling, HIV test counseling, and PrEP education are conducted directly in Spanish, so nuance around dosing, resistance, and risk isn't compressed into translation.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Many STI clinics stop at testing and hand prevention medication off to outside providers. HealthproMed Foundation prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, keeping the clinical relationship, and the prescription, inside the same practice where testing and HIV medical treatment already live.

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 San Juan Municipio tests for syphilis.

San Martin sits within San Juan, where young adults navigate daily life alongside longtime residents, and where the question of sexual health screening often arrives without warning: a partner's health status, a relationship milestone, or simple peace of mind. Testing in and around San Martin is available through clinics and providers listed on this page, each offering the confidentiality that matters when someone chooses to learn their status alone. The process itself is straightforward: a provider takes samples, results arrive within days, and what you learn stays between you and the clinic. For people in their late teens through thirties, routine screening fits into life without fanfare.
Many facilities accommodate walk-ins or schedule appointments quickly, which means you don't have to plan weeks ahead or juggle complex logistics. Some providers also offer counseling before and after testing, so you're not left to interpret results by yourself or wonder what a positive result means for next steps. The clinics serving San Martin understand that asking for a test can feel like admitting uncertainty, and they're set up to make that moment as brief and professional as possible. Knowing your status (whether negative, positive, or pending further confirmation) is knowledge you keep, and it's the kind of information that shapes decisions only you can make.

Confidentiality & consent in Puerto RicoMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Puerto Rico 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 Puerto Rico, public health clinics provide confidential STI testing and treatment; ask the clinic directly about consent requirements for minors.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is potentially allowable in Puerto Rico: it is not expressly authorized, but not prohibited either. Ask your provider whether they will prescribe treatment for a partner without a separate visit.
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.
