How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic runs herpes testing and hepatitis A, B, and C antibody screens during the same visit. Each test is ordered and collected on-site, no separate lab referral, no second appointment to complete the picture.
On-Site Interpretation Staffed for Clinical Conversations
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Dobbs Ferry, built into the visit rather than patched in after the fact. That means history-taking, test explanations, and treatment instructions all move through a working interpreter. Not a workaround assembled at the counter.

Haitian Creole and Spanish, Not Routed Through a Workaround
When a diagnosis or treatment plan has to travel through a third language, details get lost. Follow-up steps missed, medications misunderstood, return visits skipped. At Westchester Community Health Center, clinical care runs directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, keeping every conversation between patient and provider intact from intake through treatment.
PrEP Prescribed Here, Ongoing Protection Built In
Westchester Community Health Center prescribes PrEP and provides PEP on-site, which means a patient leaves with an active prevention plan rather than a separate referral to chase down. Keeping HIV prevention continuous and clinically managed within the same relationship.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four
For anyone paying out of pocket or without a regular provider who can order a broader workup, Westchester Community Health Center's panel already includes herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB alongside the core four. No separate specialist visit needed to get a complete picture in one appointment.
Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic in White Plains takes walk-ins for rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis B testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language services on-site.

Spanish Spoken Here, Not Routed Elsewhere
For anyone navigating STI care primarily in Spanish, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic carries that conversation directly: staff Spanish and broader interpretation services mean clinical detail, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling stay accurate and immediate, not filtered through a secondary channel.
Title X Keeps Minor Care Legally Confidential
Title X designation means minors can access STI testing, family planning, and related services with legal confidentiality protections. A meaningful distinction for a young person without a regular provider or one managing care independently of a guardian.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed at One Address
Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic prescribes PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, giving people with active prevention needs access to all three regimens without splitting care across multiple providers.

Every Test and Treatment Carries Zero Cost
The no-fee structure here covers the full list: rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis B and C testing, the standard bacterial panel, STI treatment, PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, and the HPV, hepatitis A, and mpox vaccines. Nothing on that list carries a charge.
Spanish and Interpreter Access Built Into Care
Spanish is available directly at Westchester County Department of Health, with interpretation services extending to other languages: meaning counseling, risk discussion, and treatment instructions reach patients in the language they actually use, without gaps in the clinical conversation.
Westchester County Department of Health holds prescribing authority for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP. All three under the same roof, at no fee, with PrEP specifically available for uninsured patients. Someone without a primary care provider can establish ongoing HIV and bacterial STI prevention here without needing a separate prescriber.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 1 mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Ardsley, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among Westchester County residents living with HIV, 73.7% are in care · 68.4% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Westchester County tests for syphilis.

Greenville and the neighborhoods fanning out toward Hartsdale sit in one of Westchester's most stable residential pockets: where the overwhelming majority of households own their homes, two out of three adults are working, and a remarkable share of families clear six figures. That financial footing is real, but it coexists with an unemployment rate that reminds you not every household here is insulated, and the roughly one-in-five residents who rent are navigating $1,600-a-month leases that leave less room for discretionary health spending. For younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when new partnerships accumulate and testing is genuinely useful, cost hesitation can quietly delay a routine appointment even in an affluent ZIP code.
Ardsley's large average household (families, not just couples) also means health decisions rarely exist in isolation; a positive result affects more than one person under the same roof. With options listed on this page, residents here have genuine range: different fee structures, hours, and distances to accommodate a workforce schedule that doesn't always leave room for a midweek detour off Central Park Avenue.

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.
