Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 16 reviews

Every Service Runs on Zero Dollars

The Mary Rose Clinic charges nothing for any service it provides, testing, treatment, vaccines, family planning. That zero-dollar baseline means a patient can add hepatitis screening or an HPV vaccine series to an STI visit without weighing what to skip.

Hepatitis B and C Both Tested On-Site

Beyond the standard bacterial and HIV panel, The Mary Rose Clinic tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C. infections with different transmission routes and clinical consequences. Catching either through the same appointment that handles gonorrhea or syphilis closes a gap that a narrower panel would leave open.

Interpretation Services Extend Into Every Clinical Conversation

Interpretation services are available for non-English languages across appointments, not just intake forms. That access carries through testing conversations, treatment instructions, and counseling, so nothing medically important gets condensed or skipped when English isn't a patient's first language.

Title X Makes Minor Confidentiality a Legal Guarantee

As a Title X-funded clinic, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York in Rome is federally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors. Meaning those services cannot be disclosed to a parent or guardian without the patient's consent. That protection is built into the funding structure, not left to clinic discretion.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed From a Single Practice

For someone managing HIV prevention without a regular primary care provider, or paying out of pocket and needing prescriptions consolidated, this clinic holds PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP in one place. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, post-exposure PEP, and doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis are all prescribable here, on the sliding-scale fee schedule.

Upstate Family Health Center, a family practice in Utica, runs every service (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing) on a sliding scale with Medicaid and insurance accepted, and HIV and hepatitis B and C tests free; walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs.

Every Service Here Carries Zero Balance

When cost creates a gap between a diagnosis and its treatment, infections persist and spread. At Upstate Family Health Center, no service generates a bill that stops someone from following through: testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, and hepatitis management are all covered under free, sliding-scale, or insurance billing.

ASL, Haitian Creole, Chinese, and French on Staff

When a clinic can't communicate in a patient's own language, follow-up instructions get missed and treatment slips. Upstate Family Health Center provides care directly in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, Chinese, and French (alongside Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) so nothing critical gets lost between appointment and outcome.

Truvada, Descovy, and PEP Managed In-House

Upstate Family Health Center prescribes and manages both PrEP, including the Truvada and Descovy regimens that require regular HIV and kidney monitoring, and PEP, keeping the required follow-up labs and refills within the same family practice rather than across separate providers.

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.

About Oneida, NY

Genesee Street stretches through the center of Oneida, and for most residents a clinic visit means getting in the car and committing to a real drive, since the options listed on this page serve the broader area rather than sitting at the edge of town. That reality lands differently depending on your week: with roughly three in five adults in the labor force and unemployment nudging above comfortable levels, carving out a weekday morning is not always simple, and a monthly rent that stays well below regional averages means cost pressure, not distance, is often what quietly shapes whether someone follows through. The household picture here adds texture.

Nearly half of adult residents are married, and average household sizes run larger than in many small upstate cities, which means STI screening often involves more than one person's schedule and more than one person's comfort with the subject. Most residents own their homes, which points to a degree of rootedness, but the roughly four in ten who rent, combined with the modest share of households at higher income levels, suggests that out-of-pocket costs for testing remain a real consideration rather than a minor inconvenience. For households already stretching a budget across three or more people, knowing the fee structure before you leave Lincoln Park matters.

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.
