Genesis Community Health, Boynton Beach's community health center, anchors STI care in a full primary-care environment: HIV (rapid and conventional), hepatitis B and C, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee, with all services provided at no cost.

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
When cost becomes the reason someone delays care, or skips a follow-up, infections go unmanaged and transmission continues. At Genesis Community Health, every service, from the initial panel to treatment to vaccination, is provided at no fee, so that calculation never enters the room.
Spanish-Language Care Without the Gap
A missed nuance in discussing symptoms, exposure concerns, or treatment instructions can mean incomplete care or a return visit that never happens. Genesis Community Health delivers STI services directly in Spanish, keeping clinical conversations complete and uninterrupted from first question to final prescription.
PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site
Genesis Community Health prescribes and monitors PrEP, the daily oral regimen requiring HIV testing and kidney-function labs at baseline and every three months, entirely within the clinic. PEP is also available for prevention, with both programs supported by staff who handle the ongoing clinical management, not just the initial script.

Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County in Lantana takes walk-ins for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, sliding-scale fees accepted by all, and vaccines including HPV, hepatitis A and B on the same visit.

Three Languages Staffed, Not Patched Together
Haitian Creole and Spanish are operational clinic languages at Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County, not routed through an outside service, and interpretation is available for additional languages beyond those two. That breadth means clinical conversations about PrEP dosing, DoxyPEP timing, or syphilis staging happen in three named languages without a gap in precision.
All Three Prevention Prescriptions at One Address
Needing PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from separate providers means separate appointments, separate records, and gaps where prevention stalls. Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County in Lantana prescribes all three under one clinical relationship, so a prevention plan that combines daily PrEP with DoxyPEP after a bacterial exposure isn't split across offices.
Substance-Use Treatment Runs Concurrently With STI Care
Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County staffs substance-use treatment as a concurrent service alongside STI care, not as a referral endpoint. That means clinicians managing a gonorrhea or syphilis case can coordinate directly with the substance-use treatment track (shared charting, shared follow-up) rather than handing off to a separate program with its own intake process.

Every Service Runs on a Zero-Dollar Balance
CAN Community Health carries no-fee care across its entire scope (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and ongoing HIV management) so someone paying out of pocket reaches the same medication and follow-up as anyone with coverage, without rationing which services they can afford to use.
Spanish Care That Stays Inside the Visit
Without Spanish-language care built into the clinic itself, a provider handoff can mean a delayed prescription, a missed follow-up, or a treatment plan that never fully lands. At CAN Community Health, Spanish is a working clinical language: counseling, risk assessment, and medication instructions all happen directly, inside the same appointment.

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.

Palm Beach County HIV care continuum (2023)
Palm Beach County recorded 20 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Palm Beach County residents living with HIV, 85.9% know their status · 74.4% are in care · 67% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Palm Beach County tests for syphilis.

US 1 threads through South Palm Beach as both a commuter corridor and a quiet neighborhood spine, and along it, the town's character comes through clearly: most households here are owner-occupied, most adults are married, and health decisions tend to get made the way most things do in a settled, coupled community, through shared calendars, shared coverage conversations, and the inertia of a place that doesn't turn over quickly. That stability shapes who actually schedules a screening and when. With a labor-force participation rate well below the state norm, a meaningful share of residents aren't tied to a nine-to-five, which could theoretically make appointment-keeping easier, yet the flip side is that without employer-prompted benefits reminders, routine care like STI screening can drift.
The smaller slice of residents who are young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when new partnerships and shifting relationship patterns make regular testing genuinely useful, are navigating those decisions in a town where peers their age are relatively few and the social infrastructure tends to reflect an older, homeowning majority. Palm Beach County's STI figures carry real weight for anyone living along this stretch of the coast. For a longtime resident driving Lake Avenue or West Lantana Road to reach the options listed on this page, knowing where the county numbers stand is the grounding detail that makes a routine test feel less optional.

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.
