Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Bridgehampton takes walk-ins for a full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, plus TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, HPV and hepatitis vaccines, and sliding-scale fees accepted alongside insurance and Medicaid.
The panel at Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care extends to herpes simplex and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside the standard bacterial and HIV tests. That range means a single visit produces answers on infections that a narrower panel would leave unaddressed entirely.
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at this Bridgehampton clinic, which means results, treatment instructions, and prevention guidance reach patients in the language they actually use to make decisions about their care.

Sun River Health in Southampton runs on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and HPV and hepatitis vaccines on-site. Appointments are required.
Sun River Health carries American Sign Language as a clinical language, not a workaround, alongside Spanish and interpretation services for other languages. For a Deaf patient or someone reasoning through a diagnosis in Spanish, the conversation with a provider happens directly, without an extra layer between question and answer.
Sun River Health prescribes both PrEP, including coverage for uninsured patients, and PEP, handling the full medication cycle rather than issuing a script and stepping away. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, including the required HIV and kidney-function testing intervals, stays within the same practice.
For someone without a specialist or a regular gastroenterologist, Sun River Health's ability to treat hepatitis C on-site, not just confirm antibody status, closes a gap that otherwise stretches into months of waiting. Diagnosis and the antiviral treatment course are both handled within the practice in Southampton.

Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in Hampton Bays tests for HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and every service is provided at no charge.
Many clinics sliding-scale their testing but charge separately for treatment, vaccines, or follow-up counseling. At Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in Hampton Bays, the sliding scale reaches zero across the board: testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, and hepatitis vaccines all carry no out-of-pocket cost.
When language barriers go unaddressed at a clinic, a misunderstood treatment plan or a skipped follow-up dose can quietly undo what the visit was meant to fix. Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in Hampton Bays holds that risk down with on-site Spanish-language services and broader interpretation access, so the care delivered in the exam room is the care actually received.
Ryan White funding at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in Hampton Bays underwrites the entire continuum: rapid and conventional HIV testing, antiretroviral prescribing, adherence counseling to keep viral loads in check, and ongoing HIV/AIDS medical management. All coordinated within the same program rather than parceled across separate providers.

CareMed Primary and Urgent Care in Riverhead blends urgent-care immediacy with a full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis) on a fee-based, insurance-accepted model with appointments required, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and care available in Spanish.
Plenty of testing sites cap the standard panel at HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Herpes and hepatitis require a separate referral and another visit. CareMed tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB alongside the core four, so a single appointment produces a genuinely complete picture.
CareMed in Riverhead delivers care directly in Spanish: meaning a patient with no regular provider, weighing treatment options or working through a prevention plan, can do that entirely in Spanish without a third party in the conversation. That directness matters for anything requiring nuance: medication adherence, side-effect management, or choosing between prevention strategies.
CareMed prescribes Truvada- or Descovy-class PrEP and manages the ongoing HIV and renal monitoring it requires, all within the same urgent-care and primary-care platform. PEP is also available, giving the clinic a prevention continuum that runs from pre-exposure prophylaxis through post-exposure management without leaving the practice.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Suffolk County, the county that includes East Hampton North, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#19 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 69% of the state
| Infection | Suffolk County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 342.5 5,217 cases ▼ 39% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 70.5 1,074 cases ▼ 70% | 235.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.8 89 cases ▼ 61% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 11 167 cases ▼ 52% | 23.1 | 16 |

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 Suffolk County, chlamydia has risen from 314.4 to 342.5 per 100,000 (9%), gonorrhea has risen from 69.3 to 70.5 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.9 to 5.8 per 100,000 (49%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Suffolk County.
Local HIV snapshot
Suffolk County HIV care continuum (2023)
Suffolk County recorded 6.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Suffolk County residents living with HIV, 82.4% are in care · 77.3% 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 Suffolk County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Springs residents tend to carry working schedules shaped by the hospitality and service economy that keeps this part of Suffolk County running, and for younger adults still forming relationships, fitting a health appointment around that reality takes more than good intentions. Nearly three-quarters of households here own their homes, which speaks to a degree of rootedness unusual for a coastal community, but the roughly one-in-four who rent, at monthly costs that can stretch a modest paycheck, face a tighter calculus around discretionary time and spending. That economic texture matters when thinking about routine sexual health screening: when rent is a real line item and a workday doesn't end at five, a same-week appointment that doesn't require burning half a shift becomes genuinely useful.
The practical upside: knowing that one accessible, lower-barrier option exists, rather than an overwhelming menu, can cut through the usual delay. For anyone spending their days near North End Common or out toward East Hampton proper, that listing on Buell Lane or along Pantigo Road is worth bookmarking before the season shifts and schedules get harder to bend.

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.
