Planned Parenthood of Greater New York in Ithaca tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee structure open to everyone. Appointments are required.
Spanish is spoken directly at this Ithaca location, and interpretation is available for other languages, which means symptom descriptions, treatment instructions, and medication counseling land accurately rather than getting compressed into a simpler exchange.
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York in Ithaca is legally required to keep reproductive and STI services for minors confidential. A protection built into the funding structure itself, not a discretionary clinic policy. That means billing, records, and communications are handled under those statutory obligations.
Clinics that prescribe PrEP for HIV prevention rarely extend that same infrastructure to DoxyPEP, the antibiotic regimen that reduces bacterial STI risk after exposure. Planned Parenthood of Greater New York in Ithaca prescribes all three (PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP) making it one of the few sites where the full current prevention toolkit is actually available.

Finger Lakes Community Health in Ovid covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections on appointment. Every service at no charge, on a sliding scale.
A sliding-scale fee that bottoms out at nothing is one thing; a gap left by a cost you didn't expect is another. At Finger Lakes Community Health, the fee structure covers the entire visit (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) so no single line item breaks the continuity of care.
Finger Lakes Community Health maintains direct service capacity in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole. Meaning clinical conversations happen in those languages, not routed through an intermediary. For someone without a regular English-speaking provider, that standing capability is the difference between a complete visit and a partial one.
Finger Lakes Community Health prescribes all three prevention medications (daily oral PrEP for ongoing HIV protection, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP for bacterial STI prevention after sex) and handles the ongoing lab monitoring each regimen requires, keeping adherence counseling and prescription management in the same place.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tompkins County, the county that includes Trumansburg, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~15% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#24 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 61% of the state
| Infection | Tompkins County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 315.8 327 cases ▼ 43% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 117.8 122 cases ▼ 50% | 235.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 1.9 2 cases ▼ 87% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.8 6 cases ▼ 75% | 23.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.8 6 cases ▼ 77% | 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 Tompkins County, chlamydia has fallen from 369.8 to 315.8 per 100,000 (15%), gonorrhea has risen from 91.7 to 117.8 per 100,000 (28%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 7.6 to 1.9 per 100,000 (75%).
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 Tompkins County.
Local HIV snapshot
Tompkins County HIV care continuum (2022)
Tompkins County recorded 7.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Tompkins County residents living with HIV, 73.5% are in care · 69.5% 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 Tompkins County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The Trumansburg Farmers Market end of West Main Street has a particular Saturday-morning rhythm (neighbors catching up near the Steel Deck Bridge, errands folded into conversation) that reflects something real about how life here works. Most households own their homes and have lived alongside the same people long enough to know their routines. That kind of rooted stability is genuinely good for community health, but it can also mean that anything involving a clinic visit feels more visible, more considered, more easily deferred. Roughly a third of residents rent, and at around a thousand dollars a month that's a real line in a monthly budget. One that can make an out-of-pocket testing fee feel like a decision rather than a given.
With about six in ten adults in the labor force and unemployment low, most people here are working, which means weekday appointment windows are limited. Young adults (people still in their twenties, earlier in relationship histories, often without an established primary-care provider) feel those logistical layers most acutely. Several of the options listed here offer extended hours or telehealth entry points worth checking before assuming a long drive is required. Starting that search from home, before you're already on Trumansburg Road, is the one step that costs nothing.
Getting there
At 5.41/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Trumansburg 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.
