Cornerstone Family Healthcare in Spring Valley runs entirely without fees: testing, counseling, and prevention cost nothing, full stop. The clinic covers rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C, with an appointment required to be seen.
When cost sits between someone and a test, the gap rarely closes on its own. It widens. Cornerstone Family Healthcare charges nothing for any service it provides: testing, HIV counseling, hepatitis C screening, harm reduction, and prevention education all carry the same price tag of zero.
Clinics built around the basic bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV) often leave hepatitis C off the table entirely. Cornerstone Family Healthcare includes a free hepatitis C test as a standard part of its screening, so the panel doesn't stop where most do.

Sun River Health in Spring Valley runs on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, accepts Medicaid and most insurance, and covers the full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. Services are conducted in American Sign Language and six spoken languages.
Sun River Health conducts care in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Eight distinct languages with interpretation services also available beyond that list. Clinical conversations about transmission, treatment adherence, and prevention happen in the language the provider and patient share, which changes what gets communicated and retained.
Sun River Health holds standing prescribing and follow-up capacity for both PrEP and PEP, the daily antiviral regimen and the post-exposure course, which means someone without a regular primary care provider can initiate, fill, and maintain either medication here. PrEP for uninsured patients is available through dedicated funding, so cost doesn't determine access to the medication.
Hepatitis C treatment at Sun River Health means direct-acting antiviral prescriptions written and monitored on-site: viral load tracking, treatment duration decisions, and medication adherence counseling all happen within the same practice. Hepatitis B treatment follows the same model, keeping the therapeutic relationship intact rather than splitting diagnosis and care across separate providers.

Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic in Spring Valley takes walk-ins for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and herpes testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV vaccination. All on a sliding-scale schedule.
Spanish is spoken directly at Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, and interpretation services extend that reach to additional languages. The consequence is that risk counseling, treatment instructions, and prevention conversations, including DoxyPEP dosing guidance, happen without a relay.
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic is legally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors: meaning testing, counseling, and contraception are documented and billed without parental notification. That protection is structural, not discretionary.
For anyone managing HIV exposure risk and bacterial STI risk simultaneously, particularly without a regular prescriber, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic holds PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP under one clinical roof. Each requires its own indication and follow-up, and all three are handled here.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Rockland County, the county that includes Spring Valley, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% 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
Hillcrest runs close to the NY 59 corridor, and the people who live there reflect what the numbers elsewhere on this page don't fully capture: most households in Spring Valley rent rather than own, average household size sits at four, and only a relatively small share of families clear six figures. That combination means rent consumes a meaningful portion of take-home pay every month, and a significant share of working-age residents are either between jobs or juggling the kind of variable schedules that make a midday clinic appointment genuinely hard to keep.
Those pressures land hardest on people in their late teens and twenties, who represent a substantial slice of Spring Valley's population and are the group most likely to benefit from accessible, low-cost screening. For younger adults still forming relationships and moving between jobs, the question isn't whether testing matters; it's whether it can realistically fit around a week built on shift work, a shared car, or a household budget that leaves little room for unexpected co-pays.
With nearly a dozen options listed on this page, residents near Kaser or along the East Central Avenue stretch of NY 59 can compare hours, fees, and distance without defaulting to the single closest name they recognize. That range means someone working an early shift near Spook Rock and someone with a Tuesday afternoon free in Monsey are both likely to find something that fits without rearranging everything else.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
