Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Free and Confidential Clinics

The Health Department provides free and confidential clinics that test for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

• Bronx 
• Brooklyn 
• Manhattan 
• Queens 
• Staten Island 

STD Clinics accept patients from 8:30am – 3:00pm. Patients are serviced on a first come, first served basis. No appointment is necessary. Persons in need of primary care (including a routine STD checkup) will be referred to low/no cost services. The number of patients admitted to each clinic depends on the number of clinician hours per day, which is different in each site each day. Thus, we may at times, need to halt patient intake earlier then 3pm.

NOTE: Minors do NOT need parental consent for exams and treatment. For more information, call 311. These clinics are located in all five boroughs, with some having Saturday hours.

HIV Counseling and Rapid HIV Testing are offered at these clinics. You have the option to test confidentially or anonymously for HIV testing only. The results of confidential testing are given to the patient in writing which would be necessary for follow-up medical care.

Anonymous testing results are not linked to a person's name but a patient does have the option of converting his or her results to a confidential status if desired. To further understand the benefits of each, speak with one of our staff or call the DOHMH Call Center (1-800-825-5448).

New Service at the Manhattanville Renaissance STD Clinic:
"QUICK BIC" SYPHILIS Prevention Treatment for men who have sex with men. Ask at the Triage Desk for more information. Get a penicillin injection with BIC (Bicillin) that will treat syphilis before symptoms appear and receive a syphilis test.

What To Expect During a Visit to an HIV/STD Clinic

• Eat before your clinic visit. It is not necessary to fast before testing
  
  
• You will be asked to fill out a form with information about yourself and your reasons for coming to the clinic. Persons in need of primary care (including a routine STD Checkup) wil be referred to low/no cost services.
  
  
• Your medical records are confidential, meaning no one has access to them except authorized Health Department personnel.
  
  
• Your form will have a number and you will be called by that number throughout your clinic visit to ensure your confidentiality.
  
  
• During registration, you will be called and seen by clinicians. Please give all the information about your health and medical history so that we can provide you with the best medical and counseling services.
  
  
• During the medical exam, a clinician will take specimens, some of which will be tested at our on-site lab. A microbiologist will perform the lab tests and share the results with your doctor.
  
  
• If indicated by those results, you will receive medication before you depart the clinic.
  
  
• Some specimens though may be sent to an outside lab for testing. The clinic staff will let you know how and when to get those results so you can come in for additional treatment and follow-up if required.
