Rockland County Department of Health in Pomona runs STI care through the infrastructure of a county public health agency: meaning TB testing sits alongside herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and rapid HIV testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, by appointment, and every service at no fee.
Whether you're paying out of pocket, between coverage, or without a regular provider, the fee structure here doesn't shift based on circumstance. HIV testing, STI treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and all vaccines (Mpox, HPV, hepatitis A and B) are provided at no charge to anyone who walks through the door.
Many clinics field non-English speakers through on-call interpretation services alone, with no staff fluency to fall back on. Rockland County Department of Health provides care directly in Haitian Creole and Spanish, and extends interpretation to other languages, so the clinical conversation happens in full, not in fragments.
PrEP requires regular HIV testing, kidney function checks, and prescription renewals. All managed at this clinic rather than distributed across separate providers. PEP is prescribed and tracked here as well, and DoxyPEP, the antibiotic taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, is offered as a standing prevention tool alongside both.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Rockland County, the county that includes Sloatsburg, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#25 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 60% of the state
| Infection | Rockland County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 299 1,019 cases ▼ 46% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 64.3 219 cases ▼ 73% | 235.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.7 16 cases ▼ 68% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.7 23 cases ▼ 71% | 23.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 17.9 61 cases ▼ 29% | 25.2 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Rockland County, chlamydia has risen from 276.4 to 299 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has risen from 33.7 to 64.3 per 100,000 (91%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.4 to 4.7 per 100,000 (7%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Rockland County.
Local HIV snapshot
Rockland County HIV care continuum (2023)
Rockland County recorded 14.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Rockland County residents living with HIV, 76.1% are in care · 70% 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.
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 Rockland County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The Jacob Sloat House anchors a village where most households are owner-occupiers raising families under the same roof, larger-than-average households, with more than half of adults married, which shapes how health decisions often get made: quietly, between partners, around shared schedules rather than individual ones. That family-centered character is worth holding onto when thinking about STI screening, because the younger adults living here, people in their late teens and twenties, are exactly the ones for whom routine testing tends to slip furthest from view, crowded out by work, commutes, and the rhythms of a busy household.
Getting tested from Sloatsburg requires planning in a way it simply doesn't in denser places. Rockland County's STI figures reflect patterns common across the Hudson Valley region, and for someone living year-round in a small, close-knit community like this one, staying current with screening is less about catching an abstract risk and more about knowing your own status with the same confidence you'd bring to any other health decision that affects the people you share a home with.
Getting there
At 7.62/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Sloatsburg generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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).
In New York, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
