Central Islip, NY, a town in Suffolk County that borders Hauppauge, Long Island, and Brentwood, is in the middle of an STD crisis that’s not slowing down. All STIs are on the rise in the area.
From 2015 to 2017, Gonorrhea infections went from 662 to 760 with the rate jumping to 55 out of 100,000 people in 2017.
Between 2015 and 2017, the chlamydia rate increased at an alarming rate from 3,964 new diagnoses to 4,917 and a rate of 352 infections per 100,000 people. Syphilis is also making a comeback with 59 new cases in 2017.
Suffolk County and Islip town health officials are working to increase HIV awareness through education, more testing locations, and prevention services throughout the county’s ten towns in hopes to lower the area’s growing HIV rate. From 2010 to 2012, Islip had a higher rate than the entire county at 9.0 per 100,000 people.
Central Islip is near several locations that provide comprehensive STD testing services, which includes treatment and follow-up care when necessary. Hudson River Healthcare offers care at their Health Center at Brentwood at the intersection of 8th St, Leroy Ave, and Brentwood Rd. Access is available through the Ronkonkoma bus line.
Another choice is the Stony Brook Adolescent Medicine facility through Stony Brook Internal Medicine on Sunrise Hwy in Islip. Off-street parking is in front of the building.
Some area facilities may offer free STD testing and HIV screenings, but, they will require proof of income and might have hidden fees such as the cost of treatment or a follow-up appointment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
