Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

North Hudson Community Action in Passaic runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, covering a panel that reaches past the standard four to include hepatitis A, B, and C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV. With Spanish-language care built into the staff.

Spanish Is the Working Language of Care
Spanish-language capacity at North Hudson isn't routed through an outside service, it's staffed. Counseling, treatment decisions, and TB and STI education are conducted directly in Spanish by the clinical team, so the conversation about medication, follow-up, and prevention stays in the room and on the record.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Testing Alongside the Core Panel
North Hudson tests for hepatitis A, B, and C in the same appointment that covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV. Seven distinct tests in total. That means hepatitis C antibody status is established on-site, with on-site treatment and hepatitis A and B vaccination available to complete the picture.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 24 reviews
Crossroads Medical Group in Clifton runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs; fees are charged on a sliding scale with insurance accepted. PrEP and PEP are prescribed on-site.
Read full overviewShow less
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Without Sending You Elsewhere
Chasing down a PrEP prescription through a separate provider means a second appointment, a second wait, and a gap in coverage that compounds the longer it stretches. Crossroads Medical Group closes that gap by writing and managing both PrEP and PEP prescriptions in-house, so prevention starts at the same practice where testing and treatment already live.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through Crossroads Itself
Direct-acting antivirals, the curative drug class behind modern hepatitis C treatment, require sustained medical oversight to confirm viral clearance. Crossroads Medical Group holds that entire course on-site, meaning the prescribing, monitoring, and confirmation of cure all happen within the same practice rather than through a separately arranged specialist.
Crossroads Medical Group tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C as part of its standard panel: alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Because hepatitis B and C can share transmission routes with other STIs, testing for all six in a single appointment means co-infections are caught together rather than discovered weeks apart.
Barnabas Health Medical Group in Lyndhurst brings the resources of a full medical group to STI care: conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee, with services delivered in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care Ends the Second Appointment
A language gap at a clinic doesn't just create friction: it creates missed diagnoses, misunderstood treatment instructions, and a follow-up visit that may never happen. At Barnabas Health Medical Group, Spanish-language care is built into the appointment itself, so nothing that matters gets lost between question and answer.
PrEP Prescribed Here, Refilled Here
Barnabas Health Medical Group prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means ongoing HIV prevention stays connected to the same provider tracking the rest of your sexual health. No handoffs, no separate specialty clinic to locate.
Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment at One Address
Testing positive for hepatitis C at a clinic that can only hand you a diagnosis means the hard part, actually clearing the infection, falls on you to arrange elsewhere. Barnabas Health Medical Group treats hepatitis C on-site, so a confirmed result leads directly into a treatment plan rather than a search for a specialist.
Optum in Saddle Brook runs by appointment, so your visit covers the full panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale fees accepted across insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Care is available in Spanish.
Read full overviewShow less
Herpes and Hepatitis Added to the Panel
Optum tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the core bacterial and viral infections. Catching a hepatitis B or herpes diagnosis here, rather than learning it was never ordered, means treatment planning and vaccination decisions happen in the same clinical relationship, not weeks later with someone new.
Without a clinic that carries both PrEP and PEP in-house, prevention often stalls: a prescription written elsewhere means follow-up labs, dose monitoring, and medication counseling all require building a new clinical relationship from scratch. Optum handles the prescription, adherence counseling, and ongoing management directly, keeping the chain intact.
Spanish-Language Care Runs Through the Full Visit
Spanish is a working clinical language at Optum in Saddle Brook, not a supplement routed through a separate service. That means medication adherence counseling, STI prevention education, and HIV test counseling are all conducted directly in Spanish, which affects how precisely a patient can engage with a PrEP plan or a treatment follow-up.

RWJ Barnabas Health in Nutley tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB on a fee-based, insurance-accepted model with Medicaid and Medicare both welcome; appointments are required, bacterial infections treated the same visit, and care is delivered in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Covered in One Appointment
Leaving herpes or hepatitis B undetected means a second appointment somewhere else, a separate lab order, and a gap in the picture before any treatment plan takes shape. RWJ Barnabas Health in Nutley runs herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the core bacterial panel, so one visit closes the loop rather than opening a follow-up queue.
PrEP Prescribed Here, Reducing Pharmacy Friction
RWJ Barnabas Health in Nutley prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means the patient leaves with a concrete prevention plan, not a referral to another prescriber, and can begin the medication on a timeline that actually matters.
Spanish-Language Care from the Provider Directly
For someone navigating medication adherence counseling or a new PrEP regimen without a regular English-speaking provider, having that conversation in Spanish with clinical staff, not routed through an outside service, keeps the clinical detail intact and the instructions actionable from the first visit at RWJ Barnabas Health in Nutley.
Hackensack Meridian Health in Hackensack tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with HPV and hepatitis vaccines, PrEP, PEP, and same-visit bacterial treatment available by appointment, all at no cost.
Read full overviewShow less
Every Service Here Carries Zero Cost
Every service at Hackensack Meridian Health (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, PEP) is provided at no charge, which means the full scope of care stays available without a financial barrier trimming what you actually receive.
Spanish and Interpreter Access Across All Services
Spanish is spoken on-site, and interpretation is available for other languages, so clinical conversations (symptom history, medication instructions, follow-up planning) happen with real precision rather than guesswork across a language gap.
Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care End to End
Ryan White funding at Hackensack Meridian Health supports the full continuum from HIV testing through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, making it a reliable long-term HIV care home for anyone without insurance or a regular HIV provider.

Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan New Jersey in Paterson provides STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV) alongside treatment on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid and most insurance, with appointments required and Spanish spoken on-site.

Spanish Spoken On-Site, Interpretation Beyond
Spanish is a working clinical language at this Paterson location, not a patched-in service. Staff conduct consultations directly in Spanish. For other languages, interpretation services are available, meaning care is not contingent on a patient's English fluency at any step of testing, treatment, or prevention counseling.
Title X Funding Means Legally Confidential Minor Care
Title X designation carries a specific legal consequence: confidential services for minors are protected under federal program rules, not clinic policy. That statutory backing means a minor's STI testing, treatment, and family planning services cannot be disclosed without their consent. A guarantee tied directly to the funding structure.
For anyone without a regular provider who needs ongoing HIV prevention, this clinic holds prescribing authority for both PrEP and PEP in-house. Someone paying out of pocket benefits particularly from the sliding-scale fee structure that applies to these medications, eliminating the need to locate a separate prescriber.

Broadway Clinic
No ratings yet
Broadway Clinic in Paterson carries federal qualification as a community health center, meaning its sliding-scale fees adjust to income: making syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening genuinely reachable for cash-paying patients, those between insurance plans, or anyone whose coverage leaves STI care out of reach.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Passaic, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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 Passaic County tests for syphilis.

Garfield Park anchors one of Passaic's densest residential stretches, where households averaging more than four people share apartments most residents rent rather than own. That density shapes daily life in practical ways: schedules fill fast when multiple adults in one unit are coordinating work, childcare, and commutes, and with well over half the workforce clocking in somewhere every day, carving out time for a clinic visit means working around shifts, not around preference. That reality matters most for the younger adults here, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically at the highest risk for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs yet face the same cost and schedule pressures as everyone else in a city where most household budgets stretch to cover rent before anything else.
With fewer than one in five households reaching the six-figure income threshold, an appointment that costs little or nothing and lands during lunch or early evening is not a convenience, it is often the only version that actually works. That spread of choices is what converts a standing intention into a kept appointment on a regular Tuesday near Armory Park.

Confidentiality & consent in New Jersey
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on New Jersey 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 Jersey, a minor can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment at any age, and to HIV testing at age 13 or older; a provider may notify a parent, and must do so where sexual assault is involved.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
New Jersey 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.
