Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 429 reviews

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Oceanside runs entirely on walk-in availability, so a single visit can cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid or conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With bacterial STIs treated the same day under a sliding-scale fee structure accepted alongside Medicaid and insurance.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel

The panel here extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing. Four infections beyond the gonorrhea-chlamydia-syphilis-HIV baseline. That breadth means a single walk-in appointment can produce a more complete picture of sexual and bloodborne exposure without scheduling a separate visit elsewhere.

Non-English Care Runs on Live Interpretation Services

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Oceanside maintains access to interpretation services for non-English-speaking patients as an operational part of the visit: meaning clinical conversations about symptoms, test results, and treatment instructions are conducted in real time, not approximated through written materials alone.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 71 reviews

Harmony Healthcare Long Island, in Oceanside, runs STI care through a community health framework, pairing rapid and conventional HIV testing, the full bacterial panel, and herpes and hepatitis screening with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language services. By appointment.

Read full overview

Spanish Is the Working Language Here

Harmony Healthcare Long Island carries out clinical visits (history, counseling, treatment decisions) in Spanish. For someone whose primary care happens entirely in Spanish, that means every conversation about medications, dosing, and follow-up lands with full clinical weight rather than getting compressed into what's easy to translate quickly.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Harmony Healthcare Long Island prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means the medications, the required HIV and renal monitoring, and any dosing questions are handled by the same clinical team. Continuity within one practice, rather than coordinating across separate prescribers, keeps PrEP adherence from depending on a patient's ability to navigate multiple systems.

Without a regular primary care provider to order targeted labs, gaps in a standard STI screen can go unnoticed for years. Harmony Healthcare Long Island extends its panel to include herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, infections that otherwise require a separate referral, and backs hepatitis B treatment and both hepatitis A and B vaccination with the same sliding-scale fee structure.

Northwell Health-GoHealth in Hewlett tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a fee-based sliding scale with insurance and Medicaid accepted. Walk-ins are welcome, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis Covered Without a Separate Referral

People without a regular provider, or paying out of pocket, benefit most from a clinic whose panel already includes herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and viral basics. Northwell Health-GoHealth in Hewlett carries all of it as standing capability, so one visit captures what might otherwise require multiple stops.

Language Access Built Into the Visit Itself

Many urgent-care and STI clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate critical conversations without real-time support. At Northwell Health-GoHealth in Hewlett, interpretation services are available for non-English languages, meaning test results, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling are communicated directly. Not pieced together after the fact.

Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center

No ratings yet

Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center in Far Rockaway provides its full panel (rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB) at no fee, with sliding-scale rates, Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance accepted for other services; appointments required.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero Dollar Balance

An untreated infection often traces back to one thing: the cost of the follow-up that didn't happen. At Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center, every service (testing, treatment, HIV medical care, hepatitis C treatment) is provided at no fee, so the gap between a result and its resolution never opens.

Spanish Care Without the Interpreter Workaround

Many clinics manage Spanish through patched-together solutions that sit outside the clinical encounter itself. Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center delivers care directly in Spanish, keeping the medical conversation (exposure history, treatment options, counseling) inside the room rather than filtered through it.

Joseph P Addabbo Family Health Center prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing medication adherence education and counseling are built into the same care relationship, not split across providers. Sustained PrEP use requires regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring; that continuity lives here.

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York in Hempstead runs by appointment and covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing in a single visit, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and every service provided at no fee.

Read full overview

Every test, treatment, and preventive service (PrEP, DoxyPEP, HPV and hepatitis B vaccines, counseling) is provided at no cost. That means a patient managing an ongoing PrEP prescription faces no per-visit charge accumulating over months of care.

Spanish-Speaking Staff, Not a Patched-In Line

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.

Title X Extends Legally Confidential Care to Minors

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.

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.

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.

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 Long Beach, NY

Long Beach Boulevard cuts through a city where most households are families (married couples, multi-person homes) and health decisions often get made collectively, or quietly deferred when everyone's schedules collide. That household character shapes who gets tested and when, because a screening appointment that requires planning can easily become one that keeps getting rescheduled. Nearly half of residents here are renters paying close to two thousand dollars a month, and almost half of all households clear six figures.

A split that means cost pressure and time pressure coexist in the same zip code. A large share of adults are in the workforce, which makes daytime clinic hours genuinely inconvenient for a significant portion of the population. Nassau County's STI picture underscores the case for routine screening, not just symptom-driven visits.

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.
