Broome County Health Department in Binghamton tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee, with appointments required, and every service, including the rapid HIV test, is available at no charge.
Sliding-scale clinics typically anchor free care to a single service, the HIV test, while billing for the rest. At Broome County Health Department, the sliding scale bottoms out at zero across the board: STI treatment, TB evaluation, and vaccines all carry the same price floor.
The standard four-infection panel leaves herpes and hepatitis C for a specialist visit. Broome County Health Department runs both on-site, herpes testing and hepatitis C screening sit alongside the rapid HIV test and syphilis work, so one appointment covers exposures that most public clinics route to a second provider.
When a clinic can't bridge a language gap in the room, the consequence is simple: the visit ends without a treatment plan, and the patient returns, or doesn't. Broome County Health Department has interpretation services on-site, so counseling, diagnosis, and same-visit bacterial treatment happen in a single appointment regardless of language.

Cornerstone Family Healthcare in Binghamton pairs gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, so a diagnosis and a prescription happen in one appointment. Fees slide to match income, and all services are provided at no cost.
When cost sits between a positive result and treatment, infections persist and transmit. At Cornerstone Family Healthcare, every service (testing, treatment, counseling, vaccines) carries no fee, so the financial barrier that typically stalls care after a diagnosis doesn't exist here.
Without Spanish-language care on-site, a patient navigating an unfamiliar diagnosis faces the real risk of losing follow-through between visits. Cornerstone Family Healthcare delivers testing, counseling, and treatment directly in Spanish, keeping the full clinical conversation intact at every step.
Cornerstone Family Healthcare prescribes and manages PrEP: including the baseline HIV and kidney function labs required before starting, and the regular follow-up testing needed to stay on it safely. PEP is also available, dispensed and overseen by the clinic's own clinical staff rather than coordinated elsewhere.

Family Planning of South Central Binghamton's dedicated reproductive and sexual health clinic, runs appointments-only testing for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and interpretation services available throughout.
Without on-site language access, a missed nuance in symptom history or treatment instructions can turn a treatable infection into a prolonged one. At Family Planning of South Central interpretation services are woven into appointments, so clinical conversations carry the same weight regardless of the language they happen in.
Family Planning of South Central New York prescribes PrEP directly, with the follow-up monitoring, routine HIV and kidney-function testing, handled by the same clinical staff who initiate it. PEP is also available, managed through the clinic rather than handed off to an outside provider.
For someone without a primary care physician to order additional labs, Family Planning of South Central New York's panel (covering herpes and hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) means a single appointment captures infections that often go unscreened. The hepatitis C result comes back rapid, so clinical decisions don't wait on outside labs.

United Health Services in Binghamton pairs STI testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, along with HPV and hepatitis vaccines, PrEP, and PEP. All on a sliding-scale fee, by appointment.
United Health Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP and maintains a specific coverage pathway for uninsured patients seeking PrEP, meaning the drug itself, not just the prescription, stays reachable. That program distinction separates an ongoing prevention regimen from a prescription with nowhere to go.
Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a positive antibody result typically means a second appointment at a separate specialist. Weeks of lag during which active infection continues. At United Health Services in Binghamton, treatment follows diagnosis within the same clinic, closing that gap entirely.
Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis C undetected. Infections that carry real long-term consequences but require a second visit elsewhere when a clinic's panel doesn't include them. United Health Services in Binghamton tests for herpes, hepatitis C, and TB alongside the core four.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Broome County, the county that includes Johnson City, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#23 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 63% of the state
| Infection | Broome County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 323.3 634 cases ▼ 42% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 96.4 189 cases ▼ 59% | 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 Broome County, chlamydia has fallen from 369.9 to 323.3 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 156 to 96.4 per 100,000 (38%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1 to 3.1 per 100,000 (210%).

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 Broome County.
Local HIV snapshot
Broome County HIV care continuum (2023)
Broome County recorded 10 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Broome County residents living with HIV, 86.5% are in care · 78.1% 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 Broome County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
NY 17C cuts straight through Johnson City, and a clinic run along Main Street rarely takes more than ten or fifteen minutes by car, yet for the nearly half of residents who rent rather than own, squeezing that errand into a packed day is its own calculation. At around $860 a month, rent here is manageable by many standards, but it still shapes priorities sharply in a household where the budget has little slack and time off from work can mean lost wages rather than a free afternoon. That pressure lands unevenly on younger adults: people in their late teens and twenties who are often between stable arrangements, forming new relationships, and least likely to have a regular doctor they see annually.
Having testing options listed here is genuinely useful: more choices mean a better shot at finding a site whose hours don't conflict with a shift schedule and whose fees don't require a second thought. Johnson City's labor picture (a meaningful share of adults outside the workforce entirely, alongside real unemployment) means many households run on careful margins. Routine screening is easiest to act on when the barrier is small, and the range of clinics here, spread across the Broome County area, keeps that barrier as low as the county's geography allows.
Getting there
At 7.72/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Johnson City generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
