Northwell Health in Manhasset brings hospital-system depth to STI care: HIV testing (rapid and conventional), same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and hepatitis B and C treatment, all by appointment and available in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish-Language Care Across Every Service

Spanish is a working clinical language at Northwell Health Manhasset: not limited to intake but available through counseling, medication adherence education, and ongoing HIV management. That continuity means nothing gets lost between a test result and the follow-up conversation about what comes next.

Ryan White Funding Carries HIV Care Past the Test

Many HIV-focused clinics end their commitment at a positive result, leaving patients to navigate treatment elsewhere. Ryan White funding at Northwell Health Manhasset keeps the same provider relationship intact from initial testing through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical care, with medication adherence support built into that continuum.

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Separate Provider

Northwell Health Manhasset prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly: a meaningful fact for anyone without a regular primary care provider or paying cash, since Ryan White and sliding-scale fees extend to PrEP for the uninsured, keeping the medication and the prescribing relationship in one place.

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in New Hyde Park accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with fees for those paying out of pocket, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. Walk-ins welcome, same-visit bacterial treatment available.

Interpretation Services Keep Care Moving Forward

Without interpretation at the point of care, a patient leaves with incomplete instructions, misses a follow-up dose, or skips treatment entirely. A gap that compounds. Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in New Hyde Park has interpretation services available for non-English languages, so medication adherence counseling and treatment decisions land clearly the first time.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

For anyone without a regular provider who needs a single, thorough workup: herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and both rapid and conventional HIV testing are all available here at Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in New Hyde Park, no separate specialist referral required to get the fuller picture.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 871 reviews

Harmony Healthcare Long Island, a community health center in Elmont, folds STI care into ongoing primary care: the standard bacterial and viral panel, sliding-scale fees, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments required. Spanish-language care is fully integrated.

Read full overview

Spanish Care Runs the Full Clinical Encounter

Harmony Healthcare Long Island conducts STI care (history, testing, counseling, treatment) entirely in Spanish. For someone whose primary language is Spanish and who has no regular provider, that means every clinical decision gets made with full comprehension, not approximation.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

PrEP at Harmony Healthcare Long Island means a prescribing provider, baseline HIV and kidney-function labs, and scheduled follow-up every three months. The full maintenance cycle, not a one-time script. PEP is similarly managed in-house, with the prescribing and monitoring handled by the clinic's own clinical staff.

Skipping herpes or hepatitis testing typically means a second appointment elsewhere and another co-pay, gaps where an active infection goes unaddressed. Harmony Healthcare Long Island tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV panel, closing those gaps in a single visit.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 485 reviews

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.

Read full overview

Spanish Is the Clinical Language Here

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.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested Alongside the Core Panel

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.

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.

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.

Local context

About Lake Success, NY

Lakeville Road cuts through a village where nearly every household owns its home outright, one of the most stable residential profiles anywhere on Long Island, and that settled quality shapes how residents think about healthcare, including sexual health screening. With the overwhelming majority of households earning well above six figures and unemployment nearly negligible, Lake Success isn't a community where cost is typically the barrier. What matters more here is time: labor-force participation sits below the majority threshold, meaning a significant portion of adults are managing households, caregiving, or running businesses on schedules that don't follow a standard nine-to-five, and working residents who do hold jobs are often genuinely stretched.

For younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who statistically face the steepest STI risk, that reachability matters precisely because this age group tends to defer appointments when access feels complicated. What the listed options offer here, concretely, is schedule flexibility: a household running on caregiving rhythms or variable work hours needs a clinic that opens outside the conventional window, and options on this page provide exactly that.

Confidentiality & consent in New York Minor 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.
