Read full overviewShow less
Sliding scale means you pay what fits your budget
Medicaid and insurance are accepted, but if you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, the clinic uses a sliding scale—your fee depends on income. Title X funding keeps costs down for everyone, so cost alone shouldn't stop you from getting tested.
Tests for the big four, plus herpes and same-visit treatment
You'll be screened for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and herpes, plus a rapid HIV test. Bacterial infections (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis) are treated on the spot; if you test positive for HIV, counseling and next steps are managed here, with referral to specialist care as needed.
Prevention built in: PrEP, doxy-PEP, and HPV vaccine
Beyond testing, the clinic prescribes PrEP for HIV prevention and doxy-PEP as an antibiotic taken after unprotected sex to prevent bacterial STIs. HPV vaccination is also available, along with condoms and one-on-one prevention counseling.
Walk in anytime; interpretation available if you need it
No appointment required—drop in when it suits you. If English isn't your first language, interpretation services are on hand to make sure you understand your results and options.

Read full overviewShow less
Book ahead for a complete visit
Montefiore Health System in Mount Vernon requires an appointment, which means you'll have dedicated time for testing, treatment, and counseling in one visit.

Screens for five infections, treats most same-visit
You'll get tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis C, and HIV (rapid test). Bacterial infections are handled right there; HIV and hepatitis C require confirmatory testing and ongoing specialist care, but both are available through their system.

Sliding scale covers most; Medicaid and insurance help
There is a fee for visits, but Montefiore uses a sliding scale so cost adjusts to your income. Medicaid is accepted, as is most insurance, making the real out-of-pocket cost much lower than the standard rate if you qualify.

HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing are all available here. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, as is private insurance; if you're uninsured or underinsured, the sliding-scale fee adjusts to your income, so cost won't block you from getting tested.
Same-visit testing and treatment for bacterial STIs

You'll need to schedule ahead rather than walk in. Staff provide Spanish-language interpretation, and the center offers counseling alongside HIV testing to help you understand your results and next steps.
Best for anyone needing full STI and prevention care

STDs & HIV in Westchester County: the local picture
Here's how reported STI rates in Westchester County — the county that includes Mount Vernon — compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~25% of Westchester County residents are aged 15–34 (ACS) — the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally, which is why local screening access matters here.
Lower chlamydia rate than 18% of the state's 62 counties (ranked #12)

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.

Westchester County HIV care continuum (2023)
Westchester County recorded 10.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally.
Among Westchester County residents living with HIV, 73.7% are in care · 68.4% 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 the county health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Westchester County tests for syphilis.

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment

medication (PrEP) and DoxyPEP to lower future risk, and discreet online treatment if a result comes back
positive. All prescribed by licensed U.S. clinicians.
Prevent (PrEP & DoxyPEP)
Daily or on-demand medication that prevents HIV — and DoxyPEP, which lowers the risk of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in New York
The questions Mount Vernon residents ask most before testing, answered under New York law — which sets confidentiality and consent the same way statewide. Prefer to keep your name off the record? See our guide to anonymous STD testing.
Can a minor consent?
In New York, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own — no parental permission is required.
Will it show on my insurance?
If you use health insurance, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may be mailed to the policyholder. Under HIPAA you can ask your insurer in writing to send communications confidentially. To keep a test fully private, choose a self-pay private lab, an at-home kit, or a public health clinic — none of these bill your insurance.
Anonymous & no-insurance options
Public health clinics and at-home kits let you test without involving insurance or your regular doctor. Many New York health departments offer free or low-cost STI testing, and several sites provide anonymous HIV testing.
Can my partner be treated too?
Yes. New York permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication to pass to your partner — no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
