Fulton County Board of Health

No ratings yet

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.

Read full overview

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

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 629 reviews

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.

Read full overview

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 4 reviews

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 overview

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.

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.

SisterLove in Atlanta requires appointments and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, and rapid HIV testing in a single visit, with STI treatment, sliding-scale fees, and PrEP. Including for uninsured patients.

Read full overview

PrEP Covered Even Without Insurance

Without a clinic that handles PrEP for the uninsured directly, the gap between a prevention conversation and an actual prescription can stretch into weeks of redirected calls and lapsed coverage. SisterLove carries both PrEP and PEP on-site, so that gap doesn't open.

Herpes and Hepatitis B Added to the Panel

SisterLove tests for herpes and hepatitis B alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning infections that often go undetected on a shorter panel are identified at the same appointment, keeping treatment timelines intact.

Spanish-Language Care, Not Just a Service Line

Many clinics field a Spanish-speaking caller and then hand the actual appointment off to English-only providers. At The Family Health Centers of Georgia in Atlanta, Spanish is a language of care. Meaning the clinical conversation itself, not just the check-in, happens in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel

For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or paying out of pocket and scheduling deliberately, The Family Health Centers of Georgia tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains, plus TB, on top of the standard bacterial and HIV panel, so one appointment covers exposures that a stripped-down clinic would leave unaddressed.

Carl Bean Mens Health and Wellness Center in Atlanta tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis C. Every service at no fee, covered by Ryan White funding. The full panel, STI treatment, and PrEP all run by appointment on a sliding scale of zero.

Read full overview

Ryan White Program funding means the fee line on every service at Carl Bean Mens Health and Wellness Center reads zero: HIV testing, STI treatment, PrEP, ongoing HIV medical care, and hepatitis C testing alike. No service carries a separate charge, no tier of care is priced differently from another.

HIV Care Without the Gap Between Diagnosis and Treatment

Without Ryan White-funded care, a positive HIV result often opens into weeks of navigating separate providers, insurance approvals, and deferred treatment. Carl Bean Mens Health and Wellness Center in Atlanta closes that gap, Ryan White funding anchors everything from initial testing through continuous HIV/AIDS medical management in a single program.

PrEP and PEP Where Prevention Clinics Usually Stop

Plenty of testing sites name PrEP and PEP as options without actually prescribing or managing either. Carl Bean Mens Health and Wellness Center provides both, PrEP as an ongoing prevention regimen and PEP as a post-exposure intervention, on-site in Atlanta.

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.

Fulton County HIV care continuum (2023)

Fulton County recorded 48.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. 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.

Local context

About East Point, GA

Golden Acres sits close enough to Camp Creek Parkway that the hum of traffic is a constant backdrop, yet the neighborhood has a lived-in, rooted quality shaped largely by renters who rely on what's nearby rather than what they own. With nearly three in five households renting at monthly rates that leave limited room for discretionary spending, cost is a genuine consideration when someone weighs whether to schedule a health appointment they feel fine skipping. That calculation matters most for East Point's younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically most likely to be carrying an undiagnosed STI and most likely to postpone a test when the logistics feel like a second job.

Household sizes here run larger than the national average, meaning adults in Jamestown Court or Elmwood are often balancing shared schedules, shared cars, and shared financial pressure. With roughly one in fifteen residents currently out of work and fewer than one in seven households clearing six figures, a clinic visit that requires taking time off or arranging a ride across the Perimeter becomes a real obstacle, not a minor inconvenience. If you're already heading east along East Point Street toward the Adams Park side of town, checking which listed option sits nearest to that corridor is the most direct first move.

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.
