Herpes, Hepatitis, and TB Alongside the Standard Four

Interpretation Services Reach Every Covered Language
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available across all visits at Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Lynbrook: meaning a patient's ability to discuss symptoms, understand a diagnosis, and follow a treatment plan does not depend on English fluency.

Harmony Healthcare Long Island, in Oceanside, runs STI care through a community health framework, pairing rapid and conventional HIV testing, the full bacterial panel, and herpes and hepatitis screening with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language services. By appointment.
Read full overviewShow less
Spanish Is the Working Language Here
Harmony Healthcare Long Island carries out clinical visits (history, counseling, treatment decisions) in Spanish. For someone whose primary care happens entirely in Spanish, that means every conversation about medications, dosing, and follow-up lands with full clinical weight rather than getting compressed into what's easy to translate quickly.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Harmony Healthcare Long Island prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means the medications, the required HIV and renal monitoring, and any dosing questions are handled by the same clinical team. Continuity within one practice, rather than coordinating across separate prescribers, keeps PrEP adherence from depending on a patient's ability to navigate multiple systems.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel
Without a regular primary care provider to order targeted labs, gaps in a standard STI screen can go unnoticed for years. Harmony Healthcare Long Island extends its panel to include herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, infections that otherwise require a separate referral, and backs hepatitis B treatment and both hepatitis A and B vaccination with the same sliding-scale fee structure.

Herpes and Hepatitis Covered Without a Separate Referral
People without a regular provider, or paying out of pocket, benefit most from a clinic whose panel already includes herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and viral basics. Northwell Health-GoHealth in Hewlett carries all of it as standing capability, so one visit captures what might otherwise require multiple stops.
Language Access Built Into the Visit Itself
Many urgent-care and STI clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate critical conversations without real-time support. At Northwell Health-GoHealth in Hewlett, interpretation services are available for non-English languages, meaning test results, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling are communicated directly. Not pieced together after the fact.

Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center in Far Rockaway provides its full panel (rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB) at no fee, with sliding-scale rates, Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance accepted for other services; appointments required.

Every Service Carries a Zero Dollar Balance
An untreated infection often traces back to one thing: the cost of the follow-up that didn't happen. At Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center, every service (testing, treatment, HIV medical care, hepatitis C treatment) is provided at no fee, so the gap between a result and its resolution never opens.
Spanish Care Without the Interpreter Workaround
Many clinics manage Spanish through patched-together solutions that sit outside the clinical encounter itself. Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center delivers care directly in Spanish, keeping the medical conversation (exposure history, treatment options, counseling) inside the room rather than filtered through it.
Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing medication adherence education and counseling are built into the same care relationship, not split across providers. Sustained PrEP use requires regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring; that continuity lives here.

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.

Nassau County recorded 6.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Nassau County residents living with HIV, 78.4% are in care · 74.2% 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 Nassau County tests for syphilis.

That convenience matters more than it might first appear, because renting here runs close to $1,700 a month, leaving less slack in a household budget for anything that feels optional. When cost pressure is real, a free or low-cost screening listed on this page stops being a perk and starts being the practical path. East Rockaway leans heavily toward owners rather than renters, and most households are married with families of three or more people. That stability can make it easy to assume routine health maintenance is already handled, but people in their late teens and twenties, who move through relationships, new jobs, and shifting living situations, don't always have an established provider they see regularly.
Nearly half of households here earn six figures, yet high income doesn't automatically translate into proactive screening, especially when a full-time workforce and busy family schedules crowd out anything that requires a dedicated appointment. The options listed on this page reflect real range: different hours, different fee structures, different distances from neighborhoods like Lynbrook or Oceanside. For someone running errands along Merrick Road on a Saturday, one of those clinics is likely already on the route.

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.
