Free STD tests for the morning after

syphylisGetting laid is one of the few forms of entertainment that — even when the summer concerts end — won’t hit you with ticket prices or drink minimums (although sometimes that helps). But because you somehow missed the thousands of free condoms around the city, and health class succeeded in scaring the crap out of you in high school, the biggest cost might be the time you spend Googling the difference between an ingrown hair and an STD sore. Better safe than sorry, so we put together a listing of all the free screenings (and pregnancy testing) centers in the borough. This way, you don’t have to wait until you donate blood to the Red Cross for your next HIV screening, and your sex life can resume.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Brokelyn is a supporter of the NYC free condoms initiative. Use this listing to find a place near you where they’re available. Take a bunch, and use them so you won’t have to read this post too often.

    Hi Anna-

    This is a great blog post, thanks for posting.

    I just wanted to point out that you listed EMC Pregnancy Center as being operated by Planned Parenthood NYC but that is NOT the case. It’s actually a crisis pregnancy center, which are religious based pregnancy care centers whose goal is to counsel women not to have abortions. They are NOT licensed medical providers and typically do not provide STI testing. They set up in the building as the Planned Parenthood which is located at 44 Court Street and DOES provide STI testing and full options counseling including. Thanks!

    -Caroline

  2. Caroline,

    Thanks for the eagle eye! We’ve made the necessary adjustments to our listing.

    Growing up in Georgia, I’ve definitely used pro-life clinics for their free pregnancy tests. You need a stronger stomach, but the lines are shorter.

    And Tim – you should know by now to avoid dance halls.
