Harmony Healthcare Long Island in Freeport accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with a fee schedule that scales to income and covers PrEP for uninsured patients. Testing spans rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, and care is delivered in Spanish.
Harmony Healthcare Long Island's panel runs to ten distinct tests, adding herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and HIV standards. That count means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unaddressed.
Plenty of testing sites stop at the result and leave prevention medication to someone else's prescription pad. Harmony Healthcare Long Island writes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, keeping the path from risk assessment to ongoing prevention inside a single practice.
Harmony Healthcare Long Island delivers care in Spanish, not through a secondary channel, but as a direct clinical capability. For patients who communicate most precisely in Spanish, that means nuanced symptom history and treatment conversations happen without compression or delay.

Long Island Crisis Center in Bellmore covers rapid HIV testing, HIV self-testing, and syphilis testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs when needed. All at no fee, on a sliding scale that bottoms out at zero, by appointment.
The no-fee structure at Long Island Crisis Center applies across every line item: HIV rapid testing, syphilis testing, HIV self-tests, STI treatment, PrEP, PEP, counseling, and condom distribution. Nothing is carved out as a paid add-on, so the cost of a follow-up visit or a medication consult is the same as the initial test: nothing.
Long Island Crisis Center offers services in Spanish and carries interpretation services for other languages, which means counseling, medication adherence education, and HIV test counseling can all proceed in the language a patient speaks. Without deferring any part of the conversation to a later appointment.
Many STI testing sites stop at the test result and leave prevention prescriptions to a separate provider. Long Island Crisis Center writes both PrEP and PEP on-site, so ongoing HIV prevention, whether daily medication or post-exposure treatment, is handled within the same appointment structure as testing.

Spanish is spoken directly by staff at this Hempstead location, so clinical conversations (dosing instructions, follow-up schedules, symptom history) happen without relay. For other languages, interpretation services are operationally integrated into appointments rather than handled ad hoc.
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York in Hempstead provides family planning and STI services to minors under legally protected confidentiality (a federal program designation, not a policy preference) which determines what appears on billing records and what is disclosed to guardians.

Northwell Health-GoHealth in Hewlett carries all of it as standing capability, so one visit captures what might otherwise require multiple stops.
Many urgent-care and STI clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate critical conversations without real-time support.

Not pieced together after the fact.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Nassau County, the county that includes Freeport, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% 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 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 9.2 127 cases ▼ 63% | 25.2 | 29.5 |

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.

Data & references
Local context
West Merrick Road cuts through the heart of Freeport in under ten minutes by car, putting several of the listed clinics within easy reach, and for a village where most households own their homes, that nearness matters more than it might first seem. A mortgage and property taxes leave little cushion, and even renters here face monthly costs that can make an unexpected medical bill feel like a real obstacle. When cost pressure quietly shapes which appointments people keep, free or sliding-scale screening becomes less of a convenience and more of a practical necessity. Freeport's households tend to run large, averaging close to four people, which means younger adults (people in their late teens and twenties still navigating relationships and, often, shared living situations) are frequently part of a busy family orbit.
That life stage carries the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs countywide, and a schedule built around multiple earners under one roof doesn't leave many slow mornings free. With more than four in ten households clearing six figures, there's real economic range here, but income doesn't automatically translate into time, and Freeport's strong labor-force participation suggests most working-age adults are clocking full weeks. The clinics on this page reflect that reality: varied hours and fee structures so that a test can happen between the Freeport Post Office and dinner, not instead of them.

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.
