STIs or STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are usually passed through sexual contact with an infected partner. They include many diseases such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts, hepatitis, syphilis, and others.
STDs are widespread – more than 2.5 million people in the U.S. are infected each year. Having a STI can make you more likely to get HIV.

Clinical Services
Clinical services are provided in strict confidence and are available to anyone who seeks care for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). All clients, including adolescents, are assured confidential STI clinical services by Florida Law. Services will not be denied to patients due to inability to pay, immigration/citizenship status, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
Partner Services
STI field services provide an essential link between clinical care and persons infected and/or at risk for acquiring a sexually transmitted infection. Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) are responsible for facilitating this link.
DIS play a critical role in reducing the spread of STIs. DIS offer confidential counseling, testing, and treatment for persons either diagnosed with or exposed to an STI. Clients who are diagnosed with an STI are also offered partner services, which allow for the notification, screening, and treatment of their sex or needle sharing partners. Partner referral services may also be conducted by professional DIS. These services result in greater confidentiality for clients and their partners, as well as providing more effective notification and treatment methods. This service is provided to clients on a voluntary basis and is strictly confidential.
