CareConnect Health in Butler runs on appointments, so scheduling ahead means gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB testing are waiting for you. Not the other way around. Bacterial STIs are treated same visit; fees slide on a scale and Medicaid and Medicare are accepted. Care is delivered in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care, Start to Finish

When testing, results, and treatment conversations all happen in a second language, the gaps (a misunderstood dosing schedule, a question left unasked) carry real clinical weight. At CareConnect Health, Spanish-language care runs through the entire visit, so nothing about your treatment plan gets lost in translation.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

CareConnect Health tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C as part of its panel, useful for anyone without a regular primary care provider who wants a more complete picture in a single appointment. Both infections often go undetected for years; having them on the same order as gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia means fewer visits and fewer gaps.

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.

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 Taylor County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Georgia

Minor 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.
