DoxyPEP, PrEP, and PEP Together Here
Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York prescribes DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline regimen that reduces bacterial STI risk, alongside PrEP and PEP, meaning all three evidence-based HIV and STI prevention medications are managed here without splitting care across multiple providers.
Title X Confidentiality Extends to Minor Patients
As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York provides legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning a young person without a regular provider, paying out of pocket, can access the full range of reproductive and STI care without a guardian's involvement on their record.
Language Access Built Into Every Appointment
Without on-site interpretation, a missed nuance in a treatment plan or a misunderstood follow-up instruction becomes an untreated infection. Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York carries interpretation services for non-English speakers directly into appointments, so care isn't diluted in the exchange.

Live Interpretation Reaches Every Appointment
Neighborhood Health Center has interpretation services available for non-English languages, meaning every scheduled visit (counseling, diagnosis, treatment discussion) operates in the language the patient communicates in. That coverage extends across the clinic's full scope of STI and family planning care, not a subset of it.
Herpes and Hepatitis C Round Out the Panel
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Neighborhood Health Center tests for herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB. Conditions that fall off narrower panels entirely. Hepatitis C detection in particular means chronic liver infection can be identified at the same appointment where bacterial STIs are treated.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Erie County HIV care continuum (2023)
Erie County recorded 5.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Erie County residents living with HIV, 86.7% are in care · 80.4% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Erie County tests for syphilis.

Weekends at Hamlin Park or a stroll down Main Street reveal a town where people tend to stay put, families in the same houses for decades, young adults building their first homes nearby. That stability brings its own quiet: in a place where neighbors recognize faces, questions about sexual health can feel harder to ask aloud. STD testing in and around East Aurora is available through the clinics and providers listed on this page, and the confidentiality that protects your results is genuinely separate from your everyday life here. A screening visit carries no gossip, no callback to someone you'll see at the grocery store.
Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties, whether they're settling in or still finding their footing, often benefit most from routine testing. A single conversation with a provider, or a straightforward visit, can confirm peace of mind or catch something treatable before it becomes complicated. The testing itself is straightforward and quick. East Aurora's character as a place where people build lasting lives makes sexual health care less a dramatic intervention than a practical step.
Confidentiality isn't performance here; it's the standard. Whether you're checking in before a new relationship or as part of annual care, the process stays between you and your provider.

Confidentiality & consent in New YorkMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on New York law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In New York, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
New York permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
