Fees & payment
Finger Lakes Community Health in Bath runs its full STI panel (HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) at no charge, with sliding-scale fees across all other services and Medicaid and private insurance accepted. Appointments are required.
A cost that surfaces mid-care (after a diagnosis, after a prescription, after a follow-up visit) is the gap where treatment quietly stops. At Finger Lakes Community Health, every service is provided at no fee, so a reactive hepatitis C diagnosis or an HIV management plan doesn't stall at the billing window.
Walk-in clinics often offer a single English-language intake and a callback interpreter if things get complicated. Finger Lakes Community Health delivers care directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole: no relay, no lag between what a provider says and what a patient hears.
Finger Lakes Community Health prescribes and monitors all three prevention regimens: daily oral PrEP (with the required HIV and kidney labs built into the follow-up schedule), PEP for post-exposure management, and DoxyPEP, the doxycycline protocol taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, meaning the prescription, the refill, and the monitoring visit all happen at the same clinic.

Finger Lakes Health in Dundee accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with fees scaled accordingly, and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. By appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Finger Lakes Health in Dundee prescribes and manages PrEP, including the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring built into the regimen, and carries PEP for post-exposure situations, keeping both prevention tools within the same clinical relationship rather than split across separate providers.
Chasing hepatitis results through a separate lab or specialist means a delay between exposure and diagnosis, and for hepatitis B, a delay before treatment eligibility. Finger Lakes Health in Dundee tests all three strains and manages hepatitis B treatment on-site, closing that interval at the point of the original visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Steuben County, the county that includes Hammondsport, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~13% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#42 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 32% of the state
| Infection | Steuben County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 197.5 182 cases ▼ 65% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 41.2 38 cases ▼ 83% | 235.6 | 179.5 |

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 Steuben County, chlamydia has fallen from 205.2 to 197.5 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 36.3 to 41.2 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.2 to 20.6 per 100,000 (544%).

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 Steuben County.
Local HIV snapshot
Steuben County HIV care continuum (2023)
Steuben County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Steuben County residents living with HIV, 84.3% are in care · 75.9% 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 Steuben County tests for syphilis.

Local context
A trip down NY 54 to pick up groceries or stop by the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum often passes without thought of health maintenance, until someone decides that STI screening belongs on the same mental checklist as other preventive care. Hammondsport's young adult population knows that testing doesn't require fanfare or explanation. The clinics and providers listed on this page serve the town and surrounding area with the same straightforward approach: you schedule, you go, results stay confidential, and you move forward.
Testing availability here reflects what many communities discover: the simplest path forward is often the one least advertised. Local providers understand that people testing for the first time, or those returning for routine screening, may carry different concerns. Some worry about who might see them, others about how long results take, still others about cost. Confidentiality isn't negotiable; it's the baseline.
Hammondsport residents have access to testing through facilities in and around town, with options ranging from quick appointments to walk-in schedules. Whether you're testing as part of routine care or because circumstances suggest it's time, the act itself is unremarkable. A health decision made without drama or judgment, the way it should be.
Getting there

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.
