Empath Health in Saint Petersburg takes walk-ins for the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, herpes, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and vaccines on the same visit.
Every test, treatment, vaccine, and PrEP visit at Empath Health carries no charge to the patient, which means decisions about what to test for, or whether to come back for follow-up, never get filtered through cost.
Spanish-language care at Empath Health runs through the clinical encounter itself, so medication counseling, PrEP education, and STI treatment discussions happen with the same precision and detail as any English-language visit.
Empath Health's Ryan White funding means someone without a regular HIV provider, or without the income to sustain antiretroviral treatment, can move from testing into active medical management and medication adherence support within the same clinic, without assembling care piecemeal.

Love the Golden Rule in St. Petersburg runs its full testing panel (HIV, hepatitis A, B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and a sliding-scale fee that bottoms out at zero for every patient. Appointments required.
Every service at Love the Golden Rule carries no fee, and that zero extends beyond the test itself to treatment, counseling, and prevention tools, so nothing discovered in the exam room creates a separate financial hurdle on the way out.
Tracking down PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from separate providers means delays that directly shrink how well each medication works. Love the Golden Rule prescribes all three, so the gap between needing prevention and having it in hand closes at a single visit.
Love the Golden Rule treats hepatitis C on-site, not only confirming infection but carrying it through to clinical management, which means a positive result leads directly to a treatment relationship rather than a separate specialty referral.

A basic STI panel stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Leaving hepatitis unexamined unless a patient pushes for it elsewhere.

For someone managing PrEP adherence, DoxyPEP timing, or an ongoing HIV regimen, the clinical detail matters, and CAN Community Health in St. Petersburg delivers that full conversation in Spanish, not through a workaround but as a standing clinical capability across testing, counseling, and treatment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pinellas County, the county that includes Treasure Island, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~10% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#29 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 57% of the state
| Infection | Pinellas County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 440.6 4,237 cases ▼ 12% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 186.9 1,797 cases ▼ 10% | 206.7 | 179.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Pinellas County, chlamydia has risen from 419.1 to 440.6 per 100,000 (5%), gonorrhea has risen from 173.5 to 186.9 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 22.5 to 37.5 per 100,000 (67%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Pinellas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Pinellas County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Pinellas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pinellas County recorded 17.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Pinellas County residents living with HIV, 81.6% know their status · 88.1% are in care · 78.6% 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.
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 Pinellas County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Gulf Boulevard stretches quiet past Ron McKenney Park most mornings, and any one of the clinics listed here sits within a short drive down FL 699: the kind of errand that, realistically, fits between a beach walk and lunch. Treasure Island's ownership rate tells a story worth noting: when more than three-quarters of residents own their homes, the community skews toward people who've settled in, many of them married couples with established routines. That stability is real, but it can obscure the younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties passing through seasonal work or early relationships, who actually need testing most and may assume this barrier-island enclave isn't set up for them. It is.
Cost pressure is the quieter variable. With roughly half the adult population in the labor force and unemployment meaningful enough to matter, a $1,240 monthly rent leaves limited room for anything that feels discretionary. Including a clinic visit that isn't clearly affordable. Several of the options on this page offer sliding-scale or low-cost fees, so the stretch from Blind Pass Road to Madeira Beach doesn't have to mean choosing between the water bill and a chlamydia test.
Getting there
Treasure Island scores 13.07/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
