It's especially suited for people managing multiple health needs—sexual health, substance use, or chronic conditions—in one place.
Read full overviewShow less
A clinic built for your whole health
Betances Health Center treats STI testing and prevention as part of everyday primary care, not a separate visit. You'll get screened for HIV (rapid or conventional), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and TB in the same appointment where you can discuss family planning, substance-use support, or medication adherence—whatever brought you in.
Testing, treatment, and prevention in one visit
Bacterial STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are treated on-site the same day. For HIV and hepatitis B or C, treatment is managed through the clinic's HIV/AIDS medical care program. You can also start PrEP if you're at risk, get HPV or hepatitis A vaccination, and receive counseling on STI and HIV prevention tailored to your situation.
Cost that adapts to your budget
There is a standard visit fee, but Betances uses a sliding scale so you pay based on income. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, as is most insurance. If you're uninsured or underinsured, the sliding scale makes care affordable without turning anyone away.
You'll need an appointment
Betances requires scheduling ahead. Spanish interpretation is available. Call to book and ask about any paperwork to bring.

Here's how reported STI rates in New York County — the county that includes New York — compare with New York and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~28% of New York 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.

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.

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 New York County tests for syphilis.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a New York-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving New York often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits
bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full
guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment
Testing is one step. For residents of New York, telehealth covers the rest of the picture — HIV-prevention
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 New York 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.
