RapidTesting Miami (RTM) connects South Florida residents with confidential STD testing, paid clinical research, and blood donation — free for patients, bilingual, and walk-in friendly. This blog is where we answer the questions we hear every day at our partner clinics, in plain English and Español.

  • PrEP and prevention: how PrEP works, who it's for, and where to get it in Miami at no cost.
  • Paid research: what joining a clinical study looks like, from eligibility to compensation.
  • Blood donation: eligibility, what to expect, and when you can give again.
