Trusted, Confidential HIV & STI Testing in Brooklyn

Your Sexual Health, Our Priority

At the STAR Program, we know that taking charge of your sexual health can be empowering—and lifesaving. That’s why we offer free and low-cost HIV, Hepatitis C (HCV), and STI testing, expert counseling, and prevention services—all rooted in equity, cultural sensitivity, and non-judgmental care.

Whether you’re sexually active, starting a new relationship, or simply seeking peace of mind—testing is for you.

Why Testing Matters

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—including HIV—can be present without symptoms. Regular testing helps ensure:

  • Early detection and timely treatment

  • Protection of your health and your partners

  • Confidence and control over your sexual well-being

The only way to know your status is to get tested.
