Florida rules and programs
Checked Nov 1, 2026
Free and low-cost public testing
The Florida Department of Health says its county health departments provide STI screening, counseling, treatment and education. For HIV, its testing site says health departments charge a minimal fee and nothing to people who can't afford it, and Florida residents can order a free at-home HIV test kit by mail.
Sources: Florida Department of Health (opens in a new tab), Florida Department of Health (opens in a new tab), Florida Department of Health (Know Your HIV Status) (opens in a new tab), Florida Department of Health (Know Your HIV Status) (opens in a new tab)
Testing for minors
Florida Statutes §384.30 lets the health department, licensed physicians and nurses, and hospitals and clinics examine and treat any minor for a sexually transmissible disease without a parent's or guardian's consent. The visit is confidential and can't be disclosed, directly or indirectly, for example by sending a bill to a parent, except as state law provides.
Expedited partner therapy
CDC lists expedited partner therapy as permissible in Florida since July 1, 2016, under Florida Statutes §384.27. A clinician who diagnoses or suspects a sexually transmissible disease can provide treatment for a partner who is unable or unlikely to get care in time, and a pharmacist can fill that prescription even though the partner wasn't examined.
Medicaid at Planned Parenthood
Florida is not among the seven states that KFF listed in June 2026 as barring Planned Parenthood from Medicaid; KFF counts it among the states whose exclusions courts blocked before the Supreme Court's Medina ruling. Planned Parenthood says the federal provision that blocked its Medicaid payments expired on July 4, 2026, and asks Medicaid patients to check with their health center. Planned Parenthood of Florida lists Florida Medicaid, including Family Planning Only, among the insurance it accepts.
Sources: KFF (opens in a new tab), Planned Parenthood (opens in a new tab), Planned Parenthood of Florida (opens in a new tab)
Free option: public clinics
Free and low-cost testing is available at health department clinics and Title X family planning clinics. CDC's GetTested site finds confidential, free or low-cost testing near you by ZIP code.
What to expect
- Clinics usually test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV, and often hepatitis B and C, following CDC screening advice for your age, anatomy and the kind of sex you have.
- A clinician can examine you, swab sores and often treat you in the same visit.
- Some tests sold in private panels are usually not offered without symptoms, such as herpes blood tests and HPV tests for men, because CDC doesn't recommend them as screening tests.
- Hours can be limited, and you may wait for an appointment or a walk-in slot.
- Free testing usually isn't anonymous either (some publicly funded sites offer anonymous HIV testing). Positive results for reportable infections are reported to the health department, confidentially.
Questions about STD testing in Tampa

Can teens get tested without a parent in Tampa?

How long do STD test results take in Tampa?
Metro Healthy Communities says rapid STI testing at Seminole Heights gives results in as little as 90 minutes, and its traditional STI tests take 3 to 5 days.
