Long Island has a big HIV problem, and many people don’t know they have it.
In 2015, in Nassau County, 109 people were diagnosed with HIV and 52 with AIDS. There were 170 early syphilis cases and 509 gonorrhea cases, 66 of those being teens. 1,063 men and 2,488 women were diagnosed with chlamydia, most of them young people.
Health officials recommend better sex education in schools and regular testing.
They hope to diagnose and treat HIV-positive individuals that still don’t know they are infected, including by providing free STD testing at some sites.
There are several places to get tested in Nassau County. City MD Urgent Care, on Herricks Rd in Minneola, offers walk-in STI testing. Planned Parenthood of Nassau County Incorporated is located on Fulton Ave in Hempstead. You can get HIV testing at the Hempstead Health Center on Main St.
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.

Demographics always play an important role in the STD rates for any area, and the small town of North Hempstead is no exception.
While the area does not have a wide gap in average income, there are neighborhoods where there are not any community health centers. The limited number of testing facilities also results in long lines that often cause many residents to turn away. The strong conservative values in the town are also reflected in the high STD rates. Shame and embarrassment can also cause some residents to put off being tested.
Other demographical factors include the growing number of Hispanic residents who are moving to the area. Conservative religious beliefs that frown on sex before marriage, along with a language barrier many health officials face.
Exploring the sights in the “Big Apple” makes for an exciting day, and it also gives you the perfect opportunity to pop into any number of discreet STI clinics. No one needs know why you have an appointment, and results are given out privately.
