Jordan Health is a community health center in Rochester whose integrated care model means STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, conventional HIV, and hepatitis C) sits alongside treatment, sliding-scale fees, and same-visit bacterial treatment, by appointment, with services available in Spanish.
Jordan Health in Rochester carries standing capacity to deliver STI care in Spanish (counseling, treatment decisions, and medication instructions) not routed through a separate service. For someone whose primary language is Spanish and who has no regular provider, that means the entire appointment, not just the intake form, happens in the language they reason in.
Getting a hepatitis C antibody result is where many clinics end their involvement, leaving patients to navigate specialist referrals on their own. Jordan Health in Rochester closes that gap, treatment is available on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis doesn't stall into months of waitlists.
For someone managing active substance use alongside an STI diagnosis and without a primary care provider, the usual reality is two separate systems that never quite talk to each other. Jordan Health in Rochester holds both, substance-use treatment and STI care operate within the same clinic, so neither condition has to wait on the other.

CompassCare in Rochester covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, and HIV testing at no fee to every patient, with Medicaid and private insurance also accepted: an appointment is required, and bacterial STIs can be treated the same visit.
When a fee stands between a diagnosis and treatment, the gap isn't theoretical. It's an untreated infection waiting. At CompassCare in Rochester, testing, counseling, and STI treatment carry no charge, so the visit that catches a problem is the same visit that begins resolving it.
Plenty of clinics handle non-English speakers with workarounds: a speakerphone, a borrowed service, a lag between question and answer. CompassCare in Rochester delivers care directly in French and Spanish, which means the clinical conversation happens in full, not in fragments.
Without a regular provider and paying out of pocket, getting herpes or hepatitis B testing usually means a separate appointment at a separate place. CompassCare in Rochester includes both alongside the bacterial and HIV tests, so one appointment covers the full picture without coordinating a second clinic.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Monroe County, the county that includes West Chili, compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#4 of 62 New York counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 94% of the state
| Infection | Monroe County | New York | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 671.4 5,025 cases ▲ 20% | 558.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 305.3 2,285 cases ▲ 30% | 235.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 36.2 271 cases ▲ 145% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 18.3 137 cases ▼ 21% | 23.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 30.5 228 cases ▲ 21% | 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 Monroe County, chlamydia has fallen from 705.9 to 671.4 per 100,000 (5%), gonorrhea has fallen from 532.6 to 305.3 per 100,000 (43%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 27.9 to 36.2 per 100,000 (30%).

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 Monroe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Monroe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Monroe County recorded 11.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Monroe County residents living with HIV, 87% are in care · 79.6% 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 Monroe County tests for syphilis.

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.
