Family planning clinics near Lauderdale Lakes that test for STDs

HHS lists these as Title X family planning clinics. For care under a clinic's Title X program, which can include STD testing, federal rules say the clinic can't charge you if your family's income is at or below the federal poverty line, and must discount what you pay by income up to two and a half times that line (42 CFR 59.5).

If you're under 18 and ask for confidential care, the clinic counts your own income, not your family's.

When you call, ask:

  • Is this visit part of your Title X family planning program?
  • What would I pay at my income?
  • Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
