Cambridge Health Alliance
No ratings yet

The full panel, sliding-scale fees accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers, and hepatitis and HPV vaccines round out what's available.

Portuguese and Spanish, Spoken by Staff
Cambridge Health Alliance sees patients in Portuguese and Spanish directly through its clinical staff. That means intake, results, and treatment conversations happen in the language a patient uses to make decisions. Affecting not just comfort but the accuracy of what gets communicated and acted on.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Added to the Standard Panel
Beyond the four-infection standard, Cambridge Health Alliance's panel is structured to include herpes testing alongside hepatitis A, B, and C. Each ordered and interpreted within the same clinical visit. That means a single appointment generates results across a broader infection spectrum without requiring additional scheduling elsewhere.
801 Broadway in Everett carries federal qualification as a community health center, which translates directly into a sliding-scale fee structure tied to household income. Walk-ins are welcome for STI screening covering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with costs adjusted so the fee fits the patient.
Massachusetts General Hospital's Chelsea clinic covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing at no fee, with free HIV and hepatitis C tests specifically, and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. Bacterial infections treated the same visit, by appointment.

Free Services, No Exceptions for Anyone
Whether you're paying cash, between insurance plans, or simply don't have a regular provider, Massachusetts General Hospital Chelsea absorbs the full cost of care: testing, treatment, and prevention services alike. No bill arrives later, and no service sits behind a fee that others are exempt from.
Portuguese Speakers Get Full Clinical Care
Plenty of clinics route non-English speakers through workarounds that filter nuance out of every exchange. Massachusetts General Hospital Chelsea delivers care directly in Portuguese, the full clinical conversation, not a filtered version of it.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed On-Site
Massachusetts General Hospital Chelsea prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from the same location, which means prevention decisions, including the less commonly available DoxyPEP, get made and acted on during the same appointment rather than deferred.
NeighborHealth, a community health center in Winthrop, folds STI testing (rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB) into comprehensive primary care on a sliding scale, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections by appointment, and every service provided at no fee.

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
NeighborHealth structures its entire service menu (testing, STI treatment, TB treatment, and vaccines including MPox, HPV, and Hepatitis A and B) at no charge to the patient. The sliding scale bottoms out at zero, meaning the full range of care is financially identical regardless of what you bring to the appointment.
Spanish Is a Clinical Language Here
Spanish functions as a full operational language at NeighborHealth in Winthrop, not a supplemental accommodation. Clinical intake, counseling, and follow-up for STI and TB care are conducted directly in Spanish, which means diagnostic conversations and treatment decisions happen without a lag or intermediary.
Lynn Community Health Center schedules appointments for STI care that covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis B and C testing in a single visit, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees accepted across all income levels, and Spanish spoken on staff.
Read full overviewShow less
Spanish Spoken by Clinical Staff, Not Routed Around
Spanish-language care at Lynn Community Health Center runs through clinicians and staff who conduct exams, document histories, and deliver results directly in Spanish: meaning the clinical conversation itself, including treatment instructions and follow-up planning, happens in the patient's language without relay.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel
The testing panel at Lynn Community Health Center is staffed to include hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. All drawn and processed within the same appointment, so hepatitis screening isn't a separate referral but a built-in step of the visit.
South Cove Community Health Center in Malden runs by appointment, so scheduling ahead is the move, and a single visit covers rapid HIV testing, the full bacterial panel, hepatitis B and C, TB, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, and HPV and hepatitis A vaccines, on a sliding-scale fee.
Read full overviewShow less
Hepatitis B and C Tested Here, Same Appointment
Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected means the infection advances quietly while you arrange another visit elsewhere, another co-pay, another wait, another round of paperwork. South Cove tests both at the same appointment where you screen for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, closing that gap before it opens.
Clinical Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese on Staff
A missed detail in an exposure history or a misunderstood treatment instruction isn't a minor inconvenience, it's an untreated infection or a regimen followed wrong. South Cove delivers care directly in Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese, with interpretation available for other languages, so nothing critical gets lost in translation.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 288 reviews
Demakes Family YMCA in Lynn welcomes walk-ins for STI screening without an appointment. Federally qualified health center standing ties fees to a sliding income scale, so cost adjusts to what each patient earns. A single visit can cover syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing in one stop.
New Health in Charlestown functions as a community health center where STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) runs on a sliding-scale fee alongside family planning, by appointment. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections, and vaccines for HPV and hepatitis A and B are on hand.

Spanish Speakers and Interpretation on Staff
New Health conducts appointments in Spanish and provides interpretation for other languages, which means a patient navigating test results, a PrEP prescription, or treatment decisions can do so in the language they reason and negotiate in. Without routing the clinical conversation through a third party after the fact.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
New Health prescribes both daily oral PrEP and PEP directly, with the follow-up monitoring (periodic HIV testing, kidney function checks, and adherence support) handled within the same practice. That continuity means the prescribing provider sees the lab trends over time rather than managing prevention in isolation from primary care.
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 Revere, 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 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.

Suffolk County HIV care continuum (2023)
Suffolk County recorded 21 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Suffolk County residents living with HIV, 93.3% know their status · 72.8% are in care · 66.3% 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.
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 Suffolk County tests for syphilis.

That kind of proximity matters in a city where the workforce is largely out the door early and back late, and where nearly half of households are renting at rates that leave little room for appointments that require half a day off. Revere's household profile adds another layer: average households here run larger than the state norm, and a meaningful share are unmarried adults. People in their late teens and twenties forming new relationships, shifting living arrangements, sometimes between jobs in a labor market that carries real unemployment. For that crowd, a clinic that doesn't require navigating a referral system or burning a personal day is the one that actually gets used.
The roughly even split between owners and renters shapes how rooted people feel here, long-timers near Mill Hill and newer arrivals alike. Rent at local levels means discretionary spending is tight, so knowing which clinics on this page offer low-cost or sliding-scale options isn't a minor detail. It's the thing that determines whether a health intention turns into a Tuesday afternoon appointment or gets quietly filed away for later.

Confidentiality & consent in MassachusettsMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts, a minor may consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a provider may inform a parent only if they judge the minor's health to be in serious danger.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Massachusetts 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.
