Quick answer: You can get a private STD test near you in New York, NY today – go to any of the 12 locations listed below. No appointment, no exam, no insurance. Results in 1–2 business days in your private account.
Manhattan has twelve of our testing locations from Chinatown to Washington Heights: Centre Street downtown, West 14th Street and West 26th Street in Chelsea, East 22nd Street in Flatiron, 3rd Avenue in Gramercy, East 57th and West 57th in Midtown, East 76th and East 96th on the Upper East Side, West 86th on the Upper West Side, West 125th in Harlem, and Broadway at 171st in Washington Heights.

Getting tested here is not a clinic visit. You order first, online or by phone, your lab order reaches the test center in 2–3 minutes, and you go in when it suits you. The lab does not sell tests or take payment; you sign in at the kiosk with your name and date of birth, give a small blood or urine sample, and you are back in the car in about five minutes. Your visit does not announce why you are there: our partner labs collect samples for many different kinds of testing, and to other people in the waiting room you are simply another person having a routine lab visit.
If you’re worried, you’re already halfway to feeling better.
Most people put off getting tested because they’re scared of the answer, embarrassed to ask, or don’t know where to go without it turning into a whole ordeal. In New York, it doesn’t have to be. You pick a location below, go in when it suits you, and have a clear answer in a day or two – privately.

STDs in New York: what the numbers say
New York ranks 20th among the 100 largest U.S. cities for sexually transmitted infections, and the city reports more than 100,000 new chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases a year, the most of any city in the country. Most of these infections cause no symptoms at all, which is the case for a routine test when you feel fine, not just when something seems wrong.
The people hit hardest are the ones least likely to have a doctor to call. The NYC Health Department's sexual health clinics test and treat for free regardless of immigration status or insurance, and they are a real option if cost is the only barrier, but they mean clinic hours, a wait, and a visit that goes on file with the clinic.
That is who we built this for. No insurance, no referral, no exam, one flat price, twelve places to go across Manhattan and forty more in the outer boroughs, and a result in your private account in 1–2 business days. If something comes back positive, our care team calls you and, for most infections, treatment is a short prescription.

Get tested in three easy steps
Tell us what you’re worried about, or pick the tests yourself. A doctor’s order is included – you don’t need a referral or an appointment.
Your lab order reaches the test center in 2–3 minutes, so you can walk in today – no appointment. Go to the location you chose during the hours listed. Sign in at the kiosk with your name and date of birth – no ID needed – give a small blood or urine sample, and you’re done in about 5 minutes. No exam, no questions, no waiting room full of people.

If anything needs attention, our care team calls you to walk through treatment – for many infections that’s a prescription; for others the physician arranges an in-person visit or a referral.

Questions people in New York ask us
Is there free STD testing in New York?
Yes. The NYC Health Department's sexual health clinics in Chelsea, Fort Greene, Jamaica and Morrisania test and treat for free, no insurance or ID required, and Callen-Lorde and Planned Parenthood offer sliding-scale testing. If cost is the only thing stopping you, use them. The trade-offs are clinic hours, a wait, a visit that goes on file with the clinic, and results that can take longer. We are a paid service, and what you pay for is speed and privacy: order today, go to any of our labs without an appointment, no exam, nothing billed to insurance, and a result in your own account in 1–2 business days.
Can I get an STD test at CVS or Walgreens in New York?
CVS MinuteClinic locations in New York do offer STD testing, but it is a clinic visit: you book, see a provider, the visit is billed to insurance or paid out of pocket at clinic prices, and the visit goes on file with the clinic. Walgreens sells at-home collection kits you mail in. With us there is no exam and no appointment; the doctor's order is included, you give the sample at a lab in about five minutes, and the charge on your card shows as RSC Health.
How much does an STD test cost in New York?
One flat price that includes the doctor’s order, the lab visit and your results – no facility fees, no separate lab bill and nothing billed to insurance. Call (866) 872-1888 and a care advisor will quote it in about a minute, or see the Tests & Pricing page if you prefer to order online.
Which Manhattan lab is closest to Midtown, the Financial District or Columbia?
From Midtown, East 57th or West 57th are each a few blocks away. From the Financial District, Tribeca or SoHo, Centre Street in Chinatown is closest. From Columbia or Morningside Heights, West 125th Street in Harlem or West 86th on the Upper West Side.
Can I get tested on a Saturday in Manhattan?
Yes. Eight Manhattan locations open Saturdays: Centre Street (until 4 PM), West 14th, West 26th, East 22nd, East 57th, East 76th, East 96th and West 125th, most from 8 or 9 AM to noon. Check the hours on each location's page, and order online or call first so your lab order is waiting.
Do I have to live in Manhattan to use these labs?
No. Anyone can use any location, and people come in from Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester, Long Island and New Jersey every day. If Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx or a Queens neighborhood is closer to home or work, each has its own page with addresses and hours.
Will my New York employer, school or parents find out?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing appears on a family plan or a student health plan statement, and we never mail anything. Your results are posted only to your password-protected account, the lab staff see a lab order rather than a reason, and the charge on your card reads RSC Health.
Where can I get tested for STDs near me in New York?
At any of the 12 locations on this page. Order online or call first so your lab order is waiting when you arrive – the lab itself does not sell tests or take payment.
What if I’m too embarrassed to go in?
You don’t have to explain anything at the lab. They see a lab order, take a small sample, and you leave. Nobody asks why you’re there, and to the other people in the waiting room it’s a routine lab visit – our partner labs collect samples for many kinds of testing.
How soon after exposure can I test?
It depends on the infection – some show up in days, others take a few weeks. Call us and we’ll tell you the right timing for your situation so you don’t get a false “all clear.”
What if it’s positive?
Most STDs are cured with medication, and the rest are managed with treatment that lets you live normally. Our care team calls you, explains the result in plain language, and sets up a physician consultation – a prescription, an in-person visit or a referral, depending on the infection.
Do I need an appointment or a doctor?
No. The doctor’s order is included when you order, and every location takes you without an appointment once you’ve ordered.
Will this show up on my insurance?
No. We never bill insurance, so nothing goes to your insurer and nothing appears on a parent’s or spouse’s insurance statement.
How fast are results?
Most results are ready in 1–2 business days and are posted to your private online account. Results are never mailed or texted.
