CLICK HERE

To access the location of the following clinics in New York City.

Free and Confidential Clinics

    * Bronx
    * Brooklyn
    * Manhattan
    * Staten Island
    * Queens


Although we understand that most individuals may want to be examined and if necessary treated by their primary care provider, the Health Department does provide free and confidential STD clinics to the public. Clinic locations, phone numbers, and hours of operation, as well as what you can expect during a visit to one of our clinics, follows.

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

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!  EAT before your clinic visit. It is not necessary to fast before testing.
What You Can Expect During a Visit to an STD Clinic

Upon arriving at the Clinic, you will be asked to fill out a form with information about yourself and your reasons for coming to the clinic. Your medical records are confidential, meaning no one has access to them except authorized Health Department personnel. On this form, a number will be written. To ensure your confidentiality, you will be called by that number throughout your clinic visit. During registration, you will be called and seen by clinicians. Our medical staff is made up of doctors who have been practicing the specialty of diagnosing and treating STDs for some time. Please be accurate and detailed when providing information, so that we can provide you with the best medical and counseling services, when discussing your medical history with the clinician. Please Note: General Intake for all clinic visits will start at 8:30am.  Clinic MD visits will be taken until maximum capacity is reached for that day.

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.

HIV Counseling and Rapid HIV Testing is also offered at the clinic. You have the option to test confidentially or anonymously. 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).

Viral hepatitis services are offered at several clinics*. Hepatitis C screening is available for patients at risk of infection. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Vaccine for Hepatitis B is available to ALL patients who have not been vaccinated or infected in the past. Vaccine for hepatitis A is available to patients at high risk of infection. Hepatitis A vaccine will NOT be provided for travel purposes.

For additional information please call 311.

For test results within NYC please call 212-720-7128

If calling outside NYC please call 1-877-364-8191

IMPORTANT!!!!!!! No Doctor Services after 11am on the Dates Listed Below:

After 11am on the dates listed below ONLY Screening Visits will be offered in all STD clinics. This is due to mandatory doctor trainings. Screening Visits consist of STD testing, Rapid HIV testing and counseling.

 in response to sheshe030...   

Thank you sheshe030. I was looking for free health clinic and came across this one and you are right people need to know. Many are unware of what STD is and or if they have it. So best to learn about it and get checked out than not...

Sincerely,

Starshine

Reply to Starshine:---It is good to see posts addressing free clinics for STD and birth control. We have to assume that lots and lots of young people come here to aidpage and I would bet that at least half of them need info on free clinics and where their located. I know that other aidmates have posted info on this before but I feel we need to keep this info front and center as it needs to be readily available for all that visit. Good job Starshine for posting this and I know it will help so many that just won't ask. I commend you my friend. Sheshe030
