Walk-ins are welcome for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Plenty of testing sites draw the line at four infections (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) and leave herpes and hepatitis to be sorted out somewhere else. Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Mineola tests for herpes alongside hepatitis A, B, and C, so a single visit can account for viral infections that a stripped-down panel would miss entirely.
For anyone whose primary language isn't English (navigating symptom descriptions, treatment instructions, or follow-up questions) Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Mineola has interpretation services on hand. That standing capability means nothing important gets lost when the conversation turns clinical.

MS Family Medicine in Mineola runs STI testing and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) through a family practice that accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with fees adjusted by income; appointments required; clinical care conducted in Spanish.
At MS Family Medicine, Spanish functions as a working clinical language: meaning history-taking, diagnosis, and treatment counseling happen directly in Spanish without relay. That operational fact shapes how prescriptions get explained, how follow-up instructions land, and how monitoring conversations actually run.
MS Family Medicine holds standing capacity to prescribe and manage both PrEP and PEP, useful for anyone without a regular provider who needs ongoing HIV prevention medication rather than a one-time test. PrEP requires consistent monitoring, and a family practice that handles it directly keeps that continuity intact.
The testing panel at MS Family Medicine covers hepatitis A, B, and C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: six hepatitis-related data points across three distinct pathogens, each with different transmission routes and clinical implications. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also available on-site.

Harmony Healthcare Long Island (HHLI) Garden City, in Garden City, calibrates its fees to each patient's income. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Federally qualified status backs that promise. Walk-ins are welcome for STI screening covering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

Harmony Healthcare Long Island in Westbury schedules appointments for STI care that spans the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language services throughout.
Spanish is a complete service language at Harmony Healthcare Long Island, not a supplemental accommodation. Every stage of care, from HIV test counseling to STI treatment conversations, runs in Spanish, which means clinical nuance and follow-through aren't compressed by translation lag.
Plenty of STI clinics test and treat but stop well short of ongoing HIV prevention prescribing. Harmony Healthcare Long Island carries both PrEP and PEP, including PrEP coverage for uninsured patients, making antiviral prevention a standing clinical offering rather than something sourced elsewhere.
Harmony Healthcare Long Island integrates substance-use treatment directly into its care model alongside STI and TB services. That co-location matters clinically: conditions that share risk pathways (hepatitis C infection and injection drug use, for instance) can be addressed within the same ongoing care relationship rather than across disconnected programs.

Catholic Health Physician Partners in East Hills accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with a separate PrEP program for uninsured patients. Appointments cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs.
Chasing PrEP or PEP across multiple providers means gaps, in coverage, in timing, in follow-through. Catholic Health Physician Partners prescribes both prevention medications directly, so the clinical relationship that started with a test doesn't have to fragment the moment prevention becomes the next step.
Catholic Health Physician Partners carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, direct-acting antivirals managed within the same practice that ran the hepatitis C antibody and confirmatory RNA testing. Keeping treatment in-house means monitoring and dosing adjustments happen without handing the patient off to a separate specialist.
Catholic Health Physician Partners tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, which means infections that a shorter panel would miss are caught at the same appointment, opening the door to treatment before they progress silently.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Nassau County, the county that includes East Williston, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#22 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 65% of the state
| Infection | Nassau County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 328.3 4,536 cases ▼ 41% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 70.1 968 cases ▼ 70% | 235.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.7 107 cases ▼ 48% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.9 150 cases ▼ 53% | 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 Nassau County, chlamydia has risen from 299 to 328.3 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has risen from 67 to 70.1 per 100,000 (5%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.6 to 7.7 per 100,000 (114%).
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 Nassau County.
Local HIV snapshot
Nassau County HIV care continuum (2023)
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.
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.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Along East Williston Avenue, past the quiet streets feeding into the East Williston Village Historic District, daily life here runs on a particular rhythm: one shaped by a community where the vast majority of households own their homes at values that put this among Long Island's more affluent corners, and where nearly three in five adults are married, most raising families large enough that personal health appointments can feel like an afterthought amid school pickups and work schedules. That labor-force picture matters, too. With just over half of residents actively working, many in professional roles that reflect the area's high-earner concentration, the people who *are* employed tend to carry demanding schedules.
Young adults in their late teens and twenties, the age group where STI transmission clusters most sharply, are navigating those same competing pressures: they need screening options that don't require half a day off or a complicated errand chain. Nassau County's STI landscape makes routine testing genuinely worthwhile regardless of how settled or stable a household feels from the outside. Evening and weekend availability among them means a working resident in Carle Place or Searingtown can schedule around a commute rather than sacrifice one.
Getting there
East Williston scores 16.29/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
