Nearly 20 million STIs (sexually transmitted infections) occur in the United States each year. Talking to a healthcare provider about STIs—also called STDs—may be uncomfortable, but it is an important conversation to have for anyone who is sexually active. STD testing is not a part of most routine exams and blood work, so you must ask for it specifically. Our board-certified physicians can help you determine which tests are right for you.
A Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI, sometimes referred to as a sexually transmitted disease or STD) is an infection passed from 1 person to another through sexual contact.
STIs are serious illnesses that require treatment. If you have any STI symptoms, it's important to be tested and treated as soon as possible to avoid spreading the infection.
If you think you have a sexually transmitted disease (STD), you need quick, affordable, confidential STD testing and care. Schedule an STD screening as soon as possible. We offer walk-in and virtual visits. We are open seven days a week, 366 days a year, for convenient, confidential care.
Our clinic providers can review the results of urine or blood tests that are ordered and collected by an outside lab to determine if you have an STI. We can also provide a treatment recommendation, which may include treatment and/or a prescription.
We understand that being tested for STDs can be a stressful task. Recalling past sexual encounters can be difficult. Miami Beach Urgent Care offers this important service in a non-judgemental, welcoming environment that puts your health first.

How Our Urgent Care Can Help
You can walk in to our clinic and be seen by a board-certified physician. We’ll examine you, discuss your symptoms, and provide STD testing as well as treatment.
If further care or monitoring is recommended, we’ll connect you with a urologist, gynecologist, or other specialist
Symptoms of an STI can affect the mouth, and genitals, and pain during urination or sexual intercourse. Frequently, there are no symptoms at all. Common STI symptoms include:
These symptoms may also indicate conditions other than STIs, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI) or yeast infection, which require different treatment approaches.
Early detection and treatment are the most effective. STIs caused by bacteria require treatment with antibiotics. Viral infections can be managed with medicines but not always cured. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in preventing transmission to others.
Treatment usually consists of 1 of the following methods:
There are ways you can protect yourself from getting an STI. Some reliable methods of STD prevention are:
There isn’t a single test that checks for all STDs. Individual STD screenings are available for common sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis. Your provider will determine which tests you need based on your symptoms and history.
Most tests can be performed quickly and cause little if any, discomfort. Most screenings involve providing a sample of urine or blood or a cheek swab. Depending on the circumstances, the provider may also perform a physical exam or take a sample of cells or discharge from any lesions or the genitals.
Many STDs can be managed and even cured with the proper treatment. If you test positive for a sexually transmitted disease, a board-certified physician can treat you and, if necessary, refer you to the appropriate specialist for treatment.
We offer a flat rate service for self-pay patients. Call us for specific pricing.
