Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 828 reviews

PrEP and PEP Sourced Here, No Second Stop

Without a practice that writes PrEP and PEP prescriptions directly, the gap between a risk assessment and an actual prescription often costs days. Sometimes the days that matter. MainStreet Family Care in Jasper closes that gap: both medications are prescribed and managed on-site, not deferred to a specialist or a separate pharmacy consult.

Seven Pathogens on a Single Visit Panel

MainStreet Family Care's panel covers seven distinct pathogens (HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) plus TB. Herpes and both hepatitis strains are built into the order rather than added only on request, which means conditions that often go undetected get a routine opportunity to surface.

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 Gordon County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Fairmount, GA

Funkhouser is a working neighborhood in the full sense: households here run large, and with more than a third of adults either out of the labor force or actively looking for work, the rhythms of daily life don't always leave room for appointments that feel optional. For the renters who make up nearly half of Fairmount, $777 a month isn't slack money, and a clinic visit can feel like one more thing competing for a Tuesday afternoon that's already spoken for. That pressure lands hardest on younger adults: people in their late teens and twenties who are also, by every national measure, the group most likely to need STI screening and least likely to have sought it recently.

The options listed on this page range from quick, low-cost visits to full-service primary care, which matters when income is tight and nearly four in ten households here don't cross into six-figure earnings. That range is what makes access real for Fairmount residents. Whether someone is coming off a shift and heading back through Funkhouser or fitting a stop into a longer errand run along Fairmount Highway, there's a format on this list that doesn't require a perfect day to use.

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.
