What would be helpful would be a list of places to get free or low cost STD testing.
The suggestion of an unnamed place on Flatbush is kind of a good start.
Planned Parenthood is an option.
After googling some online, it seemed CityMD would accept my insurance and I'd get the appropriate testing done. The location I went to looked professional and clean. However, when I got there, they wanted nothing to do with my insurance -- would not even look at it. Said *I* had to call the insurance and ask them if STD testing was covered. Seemed complicated so I nixed CityMD as I did not want to pay upfront and then find out that my insurance was not really going to pay for it, or only pay 50% or w/e.
Now, before moving on from that, two things: First, they said it would be $200 to see the doctor and $100 for the rapid test, so $300 total. It seemed there was also a choice for a non-rapid test but I was already gone by the time I realized this so don't know if the price on that was the same. Second, Waterclone, in your first post to this thread you mentioned you used CityMD, can you say how payment with you worked with them?
In any event, I went to a city clinic expecting a non-optimal situation... ended up at the Corona location and was pleasantly surprised: Clean, professional, thorough. Was in and out in about an hour. Basically two interviews, blood withdrawn and finger prick, urine sample, and inspection and discussion with a doctor.
One con was the bathroom for the urine sample was in the basement and took some gymnastics to get the sample as there was no place to really put down the cup, vile and syringe thing. The other con was there was no possibility of anonymous visit although they claim the information provided is kept discreet. I thought all info was reported to a central database but apparently with no personal information. I'm still not keen on this. The pros were free, complete, and free condoms (did not expect that (although it is now obvious this would be the case), name brand and NYC ones, and now wish I had taken more of them).
The HIV test you find out about before you leave. The other tests, looks like about 9 of them, but I'm now realizing I don't know exactly which ones are being done, will be reported in 7-10 days. If there is a positive they will contact you. They also provide you a card with a unique pin which you can either phone into or view on a website to find out your results whether positive or negative.
Lastly, the doctor did tell me I should get a Hep shot and said they gave them there, but, with everything going on, not sure why I didn't end up getting one. So I expect to go back at some point to get that.
