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.

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 Sylvan Beach, NY

Sylvan Beach takes its name from the wooded shoreline that drew families to Oneida Lake generations ago, and that same appeal, a quiet place to settle and stay, still shapes life here today. Most residents own their homes and build decades-long ties to the community, creating the kind of neighborhood where stability matters. For younger adults moving through their late teens and thirties, that closeness can make confidential health decisions feel more complicated, which is exactly why testing clinics listed on this page operate with strict privacy protocols and no cross-talk with local networks. Routine STI screening in and around Sylvan Beach happens at facilities designed for people who need straightforward, judgment-free care.

The area's affordable cost of living means residents often stay rooted here, and that permanence, along with the presence of retirees and people outside traditional employment, creates a community where health choices remain personal. Testing providers understand that discretion isn't a luxury; it's a baseline expectation. Access to screening doesn't require a long drive or a complicated appointment process. Clinics serving Sylvan Beach recognize that many residents value their privacy precisely because they've chosen to make this place home, and they've built their practices around that reality.

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.
