Getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is important to keep your health and that of your partner safe. STIs, which include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV, can cause serious complications if left untreated.

Thankfully, there are many quick and safe STI testing sites available in NYC. Here are a few options to choose from:

Planned Parenthood Harlem

Planned Parenthood Harlem is a full-service health center that offers testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. They also offer gynecological care and education for women and men.

Their staff is made up of a mix of medical professionals, including obstetricians and gynecologists. They are dedicated to helping clients get tested and treated for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

They have clinics throughout the city, including one in Harlem at 26th Bleecker Street. Their goal is to make sure that everyone who walks through their doors can receive quality medical care, without bias or judgment.

The clinic is a convenient stop for people living in the area, as it is close to multiple subway lines and bus routes. However, it can be a bit of a hassle to find parking.

The Alliance for Sexual Health & Wellness

Sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) can be life-threatening, so it’s important to get tested regularly. A doctor or trained counselor can help you decide which tests are best for your situation and explain the results.

The Alliance for Sexual Health & Wellness is one of NYC’s most trusted STD testing sites. They offer affordable and confidential services and can help you access treatment for any STI that you test positive for, including HIV.

They have an office on West 18th Street and you can walk-in without an appointment for an STI screening or treatment. Insurance is accepted and you can pay cash or with credit cards.

The clinic also uses a new test that cuts the waiting time for gonorrhea and chlamydia results from seven days to three hours. This should help reduce the spread of these infections, which are commonly asymptomatic.

The Center for Sexual Health & Wellness

The Center for Sexual Health & Wellness is one of the most comprehensive STD clinics in the city. Whether you need to get tested or just want to talk to someone about your options, their friendly staff are always on hand to help. They offer a full range of services, from the standard prick test to full-blown condoms to prescription lubricant and more. They also have the most up-to-date information on the latest in HIV treatment, prevention and cure.

Their top of the line medical equipment is among the best in the state and their staff is able to make your experience as painless and efficient as possible. They’re even open on Saturdays which is something that you just can’t say about most clinics in the city. The Centre’s staff is a wealth of knowledge and they’ll be able to answer your most pressing questions with a wry smile. Getting tested isn’t cheap, but if you do it right it will save you from costly hospital visits down the road.

Riverside STD Clinic

Located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, this is a full-service STD clinic that offers free testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). They have extended hours to accommodate walk-in clients and are open on weekends.

The clinic is staffed with licensed doctors and physician assistants, who are knowledgeable about STDs and the latest testing methods. They are also available to answer any questions you may have.

Injection drug users (IDUs) are at high risk for HIV, viral hepatitis, and STDs, and they often have limited access to health care services. Integrated services can be an effective strategy to address these factors and improve health outcomes for these clients.
