Every Service Carries Zero Out-of-Pocket Cost
When cost is the reason someone delays testing or skips treatment, the gap between diagnosis and care widens, and bacterial infections left untreated don't stay quiet. At NeoMed Center, every service, from the rapid HIV test to STI treatment to vaccines, is provided at no fee, so cost never becomes the reason a visit doesn't happen.
Spanish Is the Working Language of Care
Many clinics accommodate Spanish-speaking patients through workarounds that filter the nuance out of a clinical conversation. NeoMed Center in Gurabo delivers care directly in Spanish: counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment discussions all happen in the language without intermediary steps.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Beyond the Basic Panel
Clinics that test only for the standard four bacterial and viral infections leave hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB undetected unless a patient knows to ask elsewhere. NeoMed Center runs all seven on the same visit, with HIV/AIDS medical treatment and hepatitis management available on-site when results call for it.

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.
