Fulton County Board of Health

Fulton County Board of Health in College Park runs the full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB) on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, no appointment required, and clinical services in Spanish.

Spanish Is the Clinical Language Here
Spanish-language care at Fulton County Board of Health isn't routed through a secondary channel: it is the direct clinical interaction, from intake through counseling and treatment. That means nuance, dosing instructions, and prevention planning all land in Spanish without a layer of translation in between.
DoxyPEP Alongside PrEP and PEP
Many prevention programs stock PrEP and leave it there. Fulton County Board of Health prescribes all three evidence-based prevention regimens (PrEP for ongoing HIV risk reduction, PEP, and DoxyPEP for post-exposure bacterial STI prevention) making it one of the few county health sites where a single visit can address multiple prevention needs at once.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Included in the Panel
Beyond the standard four, Fulton County Board of Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, meaning chronic viral infections that often run silently alongside bacterial STIs are caught in the same visit. On-site hepatitis A and B vaccination extends that coverage into active prevention.
Southside Medical Center in East Point runs as a full medical clinic, so gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis can be treated the same day they're caught. HIV testing, the standard bacterial panel, and family planning all run on a sliding scale, and every service carries no fee.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
Every test, treatment, and preventive service at Southside Medical Center costs nothing out of pocket. That means a patient leaving with a chlamydia diagnosis and a prescription on the same visit also leaves with a zero balance, no partial billing, no fee for the counseling that came with it.
Ryan White Carries HIV Care From Test to Treatment
Ryan White funding lets Southside Medical Center hold the entire arc of HIV care, from a conventional test through medication management and adherence counseling, without sending anyone elsewhere for the clinical pieces that actually sustain long-term health. For someone without a regular HIV provider or without insurance to cover ongoing prescriptions, that continuity lives at one address.
PrEP and PEP Without the Second Appointment
Chasing a PrEP prescription across two providers (one for the test, another who can actually prescribe) leaves a real gap in protection. Southside Medical Center holds both PrEP and PEP in-house, and carries a specific PrEP pathway for uninsured patients so cost doesn't become the reason prevention stalls.

Faebris, an Atlanta clinic carrying full medical infrastructure behind its STI program, tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee basis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. Prevention extends to PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP.
Read full overviewShow less
Three Prevention Medications, One Appointment
Faebris holds prescribing authority for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP under one clinical team, which means someone without a regular primary care provider, or one whose provider isn't versed in sexual health pharmacology, can access all three prevention tools without splitting care across multiple practices.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
Direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C is available at Faebris, not reserved for a specialist elsewhere. Because diagnosis and treatment sit within the same clinical setting, the monitoring that curative hepatitis C regimens require, including sustained virologic response confirmation, is managed by the same team.
Herpes and All Three Hepatitis Strains on the Panel
Faebris tests for herpes alongside hepatitis A, B, and C. Infections that a four-pathogen panel misses entirely. Hepatitis B and C antibody status, in particular, shapes treatment and vaccination decisions; having those results from the same visit where STI care is delivered means clinical decisions aren't deferred.
HEALing Community Health in Atlanta tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and both hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with Medicare and Medicaid accepted, and treats bacterial infections the same visit. Appointments are required.

PrEP and PEP Available Where Prevention Rarely Lives
Plenty of STI clinics hand off prevention medication to a primary care provider and leave patients to sort out the rest. HEALing Community Health in Atlanta prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, including subsidized PrEP for uninsured patients, keeping prevention and testing inside the same clinical relationship.
Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four
The panel at HEALing Community Health runs serologic testing for herpes simplex alongside antibody and antigen testing for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, infections that require separate specimen handling and clinical interpretation beyond the gonorrhea-chlamydia-syphilis-HIV baseline most sites stop at.

Place of Hope Clinic in Morrow runs entirely on donations and charges nothing for any of its services, no sliding scale, just no fee. Appointments are required; the panel covers HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, with HPV and hepatitis A vaccines also available.

Every Service Runs on Donations, Not Payments
Plenty of clinics tie cost to income, asking for documentation before they determine what you owe. Place of Hope Clinic charges nothing (not a co-pay, not a reduced fee, not a suggested contribution) because every service here is funded through donations rather than patient billing.
Hepatitis B and C Alongside the Standard Four
A basic STI panel often stops at HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, leaving hepatitis testing as something you'd pursue separately. Place of Hope Clinic folds both hepatitis B and hepatitis C into the same visit, so liver-affecting infections get screened alongside the rest of the panel.
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 College Park, 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.

Among Fulton County residents living with HIV, 86% know their status · 76.4% are in care · 64.5% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Fulton County tests for syphilis.

Main Street through College Park runs close enough to Hartsfield-Jackson that the roar of departing flights is background noise for daily errands, and the rent levels along these corridors reflect a city where most households are paying month to month rather than building equity. With nearly three in four residents renting, budgets are stretched in ways that make an unexpected medical bill feel consequential, and the relatively small share of households clearing six figures underscores how real that pressure is for most people here. That cost reality matters for sexual health access because College Park skews young, with a substantial share of adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates nationally are at their sharpest.
Large average household sizes suggest a lot of shared living arrangements across neighborhoods like Jamestown Court and Limetree, where people are often between relationships, between jobs, or both. Unemployment here is not negligible, which means the working schedule for many residents is irregular rather than nine-to-five, making clinic hours a genuine factor in whether a test actually gets scheduled. For residents without a flexible work schedule, same-day or walk-in availability narrows that field considerably, so it is worth checking hours before making the drive.

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.
