Tri-County Family Medicine in Dansville runs STI care on a sliding-scale fee, accepting Medicaid and private insurance, with testing for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and TB: appointments required, and interpretation services available for non-English speakers.
Tri-County Family Medicine tests for herpes in addition to gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia. A standing capability that matters for anyone without a regular provider who needs a complete picture rather than a partial one. That completeness is built into the appointment, not arranged separately.
PrEP at Tri-County Family Medicine is handled by the same family medicine staff who manage follow-up labs and ongoing monitoring: the prescription, the periodic HIV and kidney-function testing, and medication continuity all sit within one practice rather than scattered across referrals.
Many practices document a language need and move on without bridging it during the actual clinical conversation. Tri-County Family Medicine offers interpretation services that put non-English speakers in direct communication with providers, so the clinical exchange itself happens in the language the patient uses.

STD stats & rates

#47 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 24% of the state
| Infection | Livingston County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 186.4 114 cases ▼ 67% | 558.4 | 492.2 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Livingston County, chlamydia has fallen from 216.7 to 186.4 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 63.1 to 27.8 per 100,000 (56%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.9 to 6.5 per 100,000 (33%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Livingston County.
Local HIV snapshot
Livingston County HIV care continuum (2023)
Livingston County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Livingston County residents living with HIV, 56.5% are in care · 51.9% 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.
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 Livingston County tests for syphilis.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In New York, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
