Sunshine Specialty Healthcare Commitment to Clinical Excellence & Compliance
To maintain the highest standards of diagnostic accuracy and patient safety, our Orlando facility follows strict national and state healthcare guidelines:
CDC Evidence-Based Protocols: Our STI screening and management follow the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to ensure early detection and effective antibiotic or antiviral therapy.
IDSA Gold Standards: We follow the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) protocols for managing complex or treatment-resistant infections, including Syphilis and Mycoplasma genitalium.
Florida Department of Health Compliance: We adhere to the reporting and safety regulations set by the Florida Department of Health (DOH), ensuring that public health standards are met for the Central Florida community.
Antimicrobial Stewardship: Led by Dr. Giron, our team promotes responsible antibiotic use to prevent multidrug-resistant organisms, ensuring you receive the correct medication and dosage for your specific infection.
Who Should Consider STI Testing?
Many STIs are asymptomatic (showing no symptoms). Testing is the only way to protect your long-term health and the health of your partners. Testing is recommended for:
◆ Individuals starting a relationship with a new partner.
◆ People who have had unprotected sexual contact.
◆ Individuals experiencing unusual discharge, itching, sores, or pain.
◆ Pregnant individuals as part of routine prenatal care.
◆ Individuals who want peace of mind regarding their sexual health status.
◆ Those seeking PrEP or PEP for HIV prevention.
Recognizing Common Symptoms
It is important to remember that many intimate health-related infections are "silent" and may not cause any noticeable symptoms, especially in the early stages. This is why routine screening is the most effective way to protect your long-term wellness.
When symptoms do occur, they can vary depending on the type of infection, but often include:
Unusual Discharge: Any changes in color, consistency, or odor.
Discomfort During Urination: A persistent burning or painful sensation.
Local Irritation: Itching, redness, or general irritation in sensitive areas.
Genital Pain: Persistent discomfort or sensitivity.
Physical Changes: The appearance of new sores, bumps, blisters, or rashes.
Internal Aches: Lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort that feels unusual.
Experiencing these symptoms does not always mean you have an infection, as they can sometimes be related to other health issues. However, clinical testing at Sunshine Specialty Healthcare is the only way to confirm the cause and ensure you receive the correct, specialist-led care.
Sunshine Specialty Healthcare Approach
If you are experiencing any of the signs above, Dr. Jose A. Giron provides a private and non-judgmental environment to get answers. We offer:
Targeted Diagnostics: We don't just guess; we use precise testing to identify the exact pathogen.
Same-Day Relief: For many symptomatic cases, we can begin treatment or provide prescriptions immediately to ease your discomfort.
Expert Guidance: We explain exactly what your symptoms mean and how to prevent them from returning.

Comprehensive STI Services at Sunshine Specialty Healthcare in Orlando
Comprehensive STI services at Sunshine Specialty Healthcare are designed to support your sexual health through early detection, timely treatment, and effective prevention strategies. Whether you are looking for routine screening, have specific symptoms, or need urgent care after exposure, these services provide reliable and confidential care tailored to your needs.
Full Panel Testing
Full panel testing is ideal if you want a complete and proactive assessment of your overall sexual health status. This comprehensive screening checks for multiple sexually transmitted infections at once, helping ensure nothing is missed. For sexually active individuals, testing is typically recommended every 3 to 12 months depending on risk factors and lifestyle.
Targeted Screening
Targeted screening is recommended when you have a specific concern or are experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, sores, or discomfort. This approach focuses on identifying particular infections based on your symptoms or known exposure. Testing is done as needed, guided by clinical evaluation and individual risk.
HIV Rapid Testing
HIV rapid testing is a convenient option when you need immediate clarity about your HIV status. This test provides quick and accurate results, usually within 15 to 20 minutes during your visit, allowing for prompt next steps if required.
Emergency nPEP
Emergency nPEP (non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis) is used after a high-risk exposure to HIV. It is a time-sensitive treatment that must be started within 72 hours to be effective. When taken as prescribed, it can significantly reduce the risk of HIV infection following exposure.
PrEP Services
PrEP services are designed for individuals who are currently HIV-negative and want long-term protection against HIV. This preventive treatment is available as a once-daily pill or as long-acting injectable options, making it easier to choose a method that fits your lifestyle while maintaining strong protection.
Specialist-Led Experience: Our best STI testing services in Orlando

Here is exactly what you can expect during your visit to our Orlando medical office:
1. A Private Clinical Consultation
Your visit begins with a one-on-one, non-judgmental discussion. We review your medical history, any current symptoms, and potential exposure risks. Because we are a specialist infectious disease practice, this conversation is much more detailed than a standard walk-in clinic, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Full-Panel Screening: Comprehensive testing for HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea.
Targeted Testing: Focused swabs or blood work for specific concerns like Herpes (HSV) or Hepatitis.
3. Efficient Sample Collection
Our process is minimally invasive and highly efficient. Most screenings require only a quick, professional blood draw or a simple urine sample. We utilize 4th-generation molecular diagnostics to ensure the highest level of accuracy and to reduce the "window period" for detection.
4. Transparent Result Timelines
We know that waiting for results can be stressful. We provide clear expectations on when your data will be ready:
Rapid Tests: Results for certain screenings (like HIV) can be available in as little as 15–20 minutes.
Full Lab Panels: Most comprehensive results are processed within 24–48 hours.
5. Specialist Guidance & Immediate Treatment
Unlike a standalone lab, we are a complete Medical Home. If a test returns a positive result, you don't have to wait or find another doctor. Sunshine Specialty Healthcare offers accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for STIs in a private and professional setting.
Same-Day Prescriptions: We can often start your treatment immediately.
Partner Notification Support: We provide guidance on how to talk to partners and prevent re-infection.
Follow-Up Care: We schedule any necessary monitoring to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
