Zero-Cost Care Runs on Full Billing Infrastructure
Every service Concilio de Salud Integral de Loiza provides (testing, treatment, vaccines) is billed through Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance when applicable, and covered by the clinic for patients without coverage. No portion of the cost is passed to the patient at any point.
Spanish Is the Clinical Language, Not a Bridge
Services at Concilio de Salud Integral de Loiza are delivered in Spanish, which means the clinical conversation (symptom history, test explanations, treatment instructions) runs in the same language the patient uses to describe what's actually happening.
Hepatitis B and C Are Tested Alongside the Core Panel
The clinic runs hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing as part of its standard workup, not as add-ons requiring separate scheduling. Both are drawn and processed through the same visit that covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with hepatitis management handled on-site.

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.

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.
