Appointments are required.

No Fee Applies to Every Service Here

Plenty of clinics discount one or two services and bill at standard rates for the rest. At Hudson Headwaters Health Network, the no-fee structure covers the entire visit (testing, treatment, prevention, and vaccines) not a selected tier of it.

PrEP Is Prescribed and Managed On-Site

PrEP, whether Truvada or Descovy, is prescribed directly at Hudson Headwaters Health Network, which means ongoing monitoring, refills, and adjustments stay within the same clinical relationship rather than being handed off elsewhere. PEP is also available for prevention.

Hepatitis C Rapid Testing Closes a Common Gap

Leaving a clinic with gonorrhea and chlamydia results but no hepatitis C answer means a second visit, a second wait, and a window where hepatitis C goes undetected. Hudson Headwaters Health Network runs a rapid hepatitis C test alongside the core bacterial panel, so that gap doesn't open.

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.

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.

Confidentiality & consent in New York

Minor 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.
