How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Florida Department of Health in Martin County, a public health department in Stuart, runs on sliding-scale fees with Medicaid and Medicare accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. Walk-ins welcome, with care available in Spanish.
Read full overviewShow less
Hepatitis Testing Goes Beyond the Antibody Screen
The panel here runs hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV tests. All drawn and processed through the department's own clinical workflow. No separate referral appointment for hepatitis; it's ordered, tracked, and followed up within the same system that handles your syphilis or gonorrhea result.
PrEP Prescribed and Managed Without a Specialist Referral
The clinic carries PrEP and PEP as standing services, prescribed and monitored by the department's own clinical staff, not routed through an outside provider. For someone without a regular prescriber or paying on a sliding scale, this is the direct path: one location handles the initial visit, the prescription, and the follow-up labs.
Spanish Care Is Staffed, Not Patched Together
Spanish-language care at this department is delivered by staff, meaning history-taking, counseling, and treatment conversations happen in Spanish within the clinical encounter itself. The mechanism is staffing, not a relay, so nuance about symptoms, medication timing, or prevention options doesn't get compressed through an intermediary.
Helix Urgent Care in Stuart pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs with its full testing panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C among them) with fees billed to Medicare or insurance, or charged on a standard fee basis. Walk-ins welcome; care is available in Spanish.

Spanish Spoken, Prescriptions Written Accordingly
Spanish-language care at Helix runs through the clinical encounter itself (history, diagnosis, treatment plan) so nothing gets compressed or approximated between a provider and a patient. That continuity reduces the chance a dose interval or follow-up instruction gets lost in translation.
PrEP and PEP, Not Just Reactive Testing
Walk-in STI testing is widely available; prevention prescriptions are not. Helix Urgent Care in Stuart writes both PrEP and PEP, positioning the clinic as a source of ongoing HIV prevention rather than a facility that stops at the diagnostic result.
Herpes and Hepatitis A, B, and C on the Panel
Helix tests for herpes simplex alongside hepatitis A, B, and C. Infections that a four-pathogen panel simply omits. Each of those hepatitis results comes back in the same clinical visit where treatment for bacterial STIs can also be dispensed, keeping the number of separate appointments low.
Associates in Infectious Diseases in Port Saint Lucie pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with an extended panel that includes herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB. Fees are charged on a standard basis with insurance accepted; appointments are required.

Herpes and Hepatitis Included in the Panel
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV form the baseline almost everywhere. Associates in Infectious Diseases extends that list to herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB. Infections that frequently share exposure routes with the standard four but get skipped when a clinic tests only to its minimum.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated in the Same Practice
A hepatitis C diagnosis handed off to a separate specialist introduces a gap: scheduling delays, duplicate intake, and stretches of time during which active infection continues. Associates in Infectious Diseases carries treatment on-site, so a confirmed result moves directly into a management plan within the same practice.
Daily Oral PrEP and PEP Prescribing On-Site
Associates in Infectious Diseases prescribes and monitors daily oral PrEP, including the follow-up HIV and renal labs required every 90 days to keep the prescription active, and also provides PEP for post-exposure prevention, both managed within the practice rather than coordinated externally.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site Without a Separate Provider

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.

Martin County HIV care continuum (2023)
Martin County recorded 6.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Martin County residents living with HIV, 70.2% are in care · 66.5% 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 Martin County tests for syphilis.

Snug Harbor and Rio draw younger adults who are still figuring out shared leases and first serious relationships, the kind of life stage where routine health maintenance competes with rent, work schedules, and everything else. With typical rent running just over a thousand dollars a month, cost is a real filter on which appointments actually get made, and the options listed on this page include low-cost and sliding-scale choices that make a difference for that calculation.
The broader Stuart profile adds useful texture. Homeownership is the majority position here, but a substantial share of residents rent, and household sizes run a little larger than a simple couple or solo arrangement, meaning more people under one roof navigating shared decisions about health. Labor-force participation sits below the national norm, so the population includes people whose schedules are constrained by irregular hours or caregiving, not just nine-to-five convenience. Younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who make up a meaningful slice of Stuart's population, tend to move through relationships and living situations in ways that make periodic screening genuinely useful rather than precautionary.
Getting to a clinic here means driving. CR A1A and US 1 are the main corridors connecting Stuart to the listed options, and several are a real stretch of road away. Knowing which site fits your direction of travel along Southeast Federal Highway or Southeast Dixie Highway is often the practical difference between scheduling something and putting it off another month.

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.
