&NA; Sexually transmitted infection (STI) service delivery in the context of integrated care and the South African HIV epidemic is complex. We aimed to document STI care and HIV testing processes in public health clinics in South Africa, revealing bottlenecks to patient flow and identifying opportunities for improvement. Clinic mapping, with semi‐structured interviews and clinic observation, was conducted with facility representatives at three clinical sentinel surveillance sites. Facility surveys assessed patient volume and staffing. Identified challenges were associated with staffing allocations, and disruptions in patient flow resulted from poor clinic layout, inadequate lighting, and limited allocation of space for HIV testing and physical examination. Recommendations include staffing adjustments, reorganization of space to allow for designated service and waiting areas, sufficient supplies, and improved lighting. The facility reorganization component of South Africa's Ideal Clinic initiative provides a key opportunity for enacting many of these recommendations.
