The Long Island region in New York records many cases of STDs every year, and Suffolk County STI rates remain at alarming levels. The commonly reported STD in the county includes chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDH) released an STD surveillance report in 2017. The survey showed that there were 4,917 chlamydia incidences in Suffolk County in 2017. The transmission rate was 352.2. In 2016, the rate was 320.9.
Additionally, gonorrhea cases were 760, up from 573 new diagnoses recorded in 2016. Syphilis had a prevalence rate of 10.9 in 2017, with a total of 151 confirmed diagnoses.
Started by the Economic Opportunity Council (EOC) of Suffolk, the HIV Targeted Prevention and Support Program aims to reduce STD/HIV rates. It does that through community outreach, transportation of HIV+ individuals, linkage to care and mental services, and referral to testing centers.
For STD testing and screening services, you can visit the Suffolk County Family Health Center, which lies along Brentwood Rd. Here, you may receive HIV services such as testing, counseling, and treatment.
Alternatively, you may visit one of the LIGALY clinics in Bay Shore, located along Park Ave or the health center at 44 Union St in Sag Harbor. The Long Island Association for AIDS Care (LIAAC) on Adams Ave may provide HIV services and STD screening and testing. LIAAC also has a mobile testing van that expends testing services to Long Islanders.
You can choose other health facilities which may provide free STD testing in West Islip. The downsides to free services include: in some clinics walk-in options might not exist and doctors might not be available on-site or on phone.
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.
