Language Access Built Into Every Appointment

Without interpretation woven into the appointment itself, a missed nuance in treatment instructions or a misunderstood diagnosis can leave an infection unresolved and a patient returning for care that should have landed the first time. At Family Planning of South Central interpretation services are part of the visit. Not an afterthought scheduled separately.

PrEP Prescribed and Covered for the Uninsured

Family Planning of South Central New York prescribes Truvada or Descovy as PrEP and specifically funds coverage for uninsured patients, meaning the medication itself, not just the conversation about it, is within reach. That pairing of prescribing authority and financial coverage is what separates a PrEP-capable clinic from one that only counsels.

Herpes and Hepatitis C Tested Alongside the Core Panel

For someone paying cash or without a primary care relationship to order additional labs, Family Planning of South Central New York's panel, which adds herpes and a rapid hepatitis C test to the standard four, means a single appointment captures infections that otherwise require separate referrals and separate costs.

STDs & HIV in Delaware County: the local picture

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.

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.
