Introduction

What are the STI test options in New York,NY?

The New York Department of Health and Hygiene has stated that the neighborhoods of Crotona and Mott Haven have the highest rates of Chlamydia in New York City.

From 2015 to 2016, the syphilis rate in New York rose 27% and is now twice the rate it was five years ago.

The total reported cases of Gonorrhea in New York City is 19,029.

There are many testing options available in New York City, including some public centers like Planned Parenthood on 45th Road in Queens or on Bleecker Street in New York City.  The testing center in Queens is housed in a modern styled building. The staff is warm and welcoming and everyone will feel at ease in their waiting room. Hours are also convenient and the center usually stays open after normal business hours.

Private options are available as well, including some on 100th Street, Fulton Avenue in the Bronx, and more. The city also has clinics that occasionally offer free STD testing, especially during April. However, this often only applies to HIV screening and not full-panel tests. 

Stop worrying about your health. Get tested at one of the many clinics listed so  you can enjoy a new-found peace of mind.

Additional STD Test Statistics in New York, NY

The mayor’s annual report in 2017 seemed to give a glowing review. Infant and traffic deaths are down, police response times are faster and kids are even performing a smidge better on their aptitude tests.

This looks like every department is working to make New York a better place to live, but there were some glaring omissions from this annual data. It was sure to note that HIV infections were going down but neglected to mention that all other STIs were getting out of control. This isn’t new, it’s just finally gotten harder to turn a blind eye to the looming crisis.

In just 12 months NYC watched as,

  • Syphilis jumped by 27%
  • Chlamydia increased by 6%
  • Gonorrhea rose 13%

This is only during the 2016 – 2017 reporting year, but accurately shows the health trend that is having the greatest impact in Harlem, Chelsea, Crown Heights, Mott Haven and Crotona. However, Syphilis is a problem no matter which borough you proudly call home.

The other fact not widely known is that the first signs of the burgeoning problem began appearing as early as 2005.

Testing and diagnosis, along with treatment, are some of the services they offer to their fellow New Yorkers. Located by Bowery St, their offices close just as the local happy hour is starting. Get a quick, nonconfidential test and grab a beer with the locals.

Staying anonymous at Planned Parenthood has always been a problem, even though it’s not the organization’s fault. You’ll often run into the same issue, at other public STI centers. Always busy, with people constantly coming and going, it’s not easy avoiding others.

Manhattanville Sexual Health Clinic, Old Broadway, lets you experience some of the borough’s history on your way there. Since it opens and closes early, you’ll want to be there after your first cup of coffee. Fees are based on income so make sure that you come prepared with the necessary documents. Immigration status isn’t a concern, but this applies to most public testing and health centers.

Regardless of your borough, there are places to go for an affordable STD checkup. Surprisingly, some clinics have even taken to advertising testing on Yelp. Be wary of how these ads are worded, “free” doesn’t always mean that you won’t have to pay for the swab or blood test.

With offices in central NYC, CityMD Urgent Care is within walking distance for most, they have extremely convenient hours in the evenings and on weekends. Appointments aren’t required, and time spent waiting is nil. Insurance is accepted, but without it can be pricey for some.

Rapid Gonorrhea, Herpes, Syphilis and HIV testing is here so you’ll know if you’re positive or not before the end of the day.

Affordable or Free HIV Testing Clinics Near New York, NY

Just about every place that tests for STIs, can also check for HIV/AIDS. Sometimes it’s included in the cost, and others its an added fee. It usually depends on the type of test you selected, and the policy of the clinic.

The GMHC (David Geffen Center for HIV Prevention and Health Education) is passionate about ending the ravages of this virus. Education, prevention and adequate testing are a few of their goals. There are 4 locations in Manhattan, and hours extend to Saturday. Walk ins are encouraged, but appointments can be made on Thursdays. Testing really is free, if you qualify.

The Callen-Lorde Center has been serving Manhattan’s LGBTQ community for more than thirty years. Along with HIV care, testing and education are two of their specialties. The center is on West 18th, and you can just walk in to see a professional. If money is an issue for you it won’t be here, though this can result in sitting for hours.

Ever since AIDS and HIV came to everyone’s attention in the 1980’s, New York hospitals have diligently operated test and treatment centers throughout the Big Apple. Mount Sinai and Montefiore Medical Center are two of the more well-known, and unfortunately this also translates into extended waiting times. Fees though are often waived or reduced, and insurance is always readily accepted.

To ensure that everyone has access to care and testing, Apicha Community Health Center is designed to put Latinos, African Americans and Asian Pacific Islanders at ease. Language barriers are rarely a concern, and education programs are geared towards cultural sensitivities.

CASA, on Amsterdam Avenue, is almost a secret. Probably because it is only open on Tuesdays. Why you might want to go, is to take the combo Ag/Ab HIV-1/2 test. In twenty minutes you’ll know if medications and other treatments will be a part of your life. If cost or the hours aren’t working for you, try a private facility.

These are excellent options, but discretion isn’t always a top priority. Private HIV testing ensures this, and it is affordable no matter your pay scale.

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in New York, NY

So, what do an eggplant, peach and taco emoji have to do with getting the message out that STIs are a real and frightening problem? They are part of an educational effort to get 20 somethings and younger to a testing facility. If you’re wondering where this street art is, check out the subway system.

Unfortunately, this creative approach seems to be falling flat since the rates are still ballooning. The NYC Health Department has also taken to social media, in an attempt to reach New Yorkers.

Public education also extends to the schools, except the information is limited. Changes are being proposed, but as of right now the best places to get informed remain at health and testing centers. Pressing questions will get answered, and you can even walk out with free condoms.

Between advertising campaigns and a ramped up attempt to educate the public, New Yorkers are living up to their reputation of being able to handle any emergency they come up against. With a recent boost to the healthcare budget for STDs, it seems that the odds are in their favor as long as testing becomes a part of everyone’s life.
