Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
Every service at Positive Impact Health Centers (testing, treatment, counseling, vaccines) is provided at no fee. That means medication adherence counseling and hepatitis C treatment sit in the same financial tier as a rapid HIV test: free, regardless of what brings you in.
Full Spanish-Language Care, Not a Single Service
Spanish is woven into the full scope of care at Positive Impact Health Centers, from PrEP consultations to hepatitis C treatment to substance abuse counseling. The consequence is that ongoing medication management and treatment decisions happen in Spanish, not just intake paperwork.
Ryan White Covers HIV Care From First Test Onward
Ryan White funding at Positive Impact Health Centers supports the full arc of HIV care, from initial testing and counseling through sustained medical treatment and medication adherence programs. For someone without a regular HIV provider or without insurance to cover ongoing antiretrovirals, that continuity of funding is what keeps treatment from stalling.

PrEP and PEP Are Standard Clinical Services Here
Gwinnett Clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP as part of its standing care: meaning ongoing HIV prevention is managed here, not coordinated elsewhere, which keeps medication continuity and follow-up bloodwork in one clinical relationship.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, Gwinnett Clinic's panel is worth knowing: it covers herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. The kind of breadth that makes a single appointment genuinely complete.

Gwinnett Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments in Norcross runs appointments for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, on a sliding-scale fee, with care available in Spanish and Vietnamese.

Spanish and Vietnamese Spoken at the Appointment
For someone whose primary language is Spanish or Vietnamese, Gwinnett Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments staffs direct service in both: meaning clinical conversations about symptoms, test results, and treatment happen without a go-between. That standing capability shapes every part of the visit, from intake to follow-up instructions.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
The clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP, and maintains the ongoing monitoring that each requires. PrEP demands regular HIV and kidney-function checks to stay safely on the medication, while PEP involves a structured course with follow-up testing. Both are handled within the department rather than handed off to a separate prescriber.
People without a regular primary care provider, and no standing order for anything beyond the core bacterial tests, find real utility in a panel that also covers herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C. Gwinnett Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments runs all of those on a sliding-scale fee, so a more complete picture doesn't require a separate specialist visit.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 1 mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Adams Crossroads, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Gwinnett County tests for syphilis.

The stretch of Pleasant Hill Road between the Buford Highway interchange and the Cardinal Lake Estates turnoff fills up fast with people mid-transition, new insurance cards still in the envelope, coverage lapsed during a job switch, relationships forming faster than healthcare paperwork catches up. That life stage, when most residents are navigating rented homes at rents that leave little slack in the budget, is exactly when routine screening tends to slip furthest from reach. Adams Crossroads leans heavily renter, and at a typical monthly rent that absorbs a real chunk of household income, a clinic copay or an afternoon off work carries more weight than it would in a neighborhood where most people own outright.
Options are listed on this page precisely because variety matters here: evening hours, sliding-scale fees, and shorter drives from Steven Hills or Berkeley Manor each remove a different practical barrier. Gwinnett County's STI numbers reflect what's true nationally for younger adults still building their relationship histories, this is the season of life when regular testing has the most to offer.

Confidentiality & consent in GeorgiaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Georgia law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Georgia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Georgia permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
