Gwinnett Clinic in Lawrenceville tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee with no appointment required: bacterial infections treated the same visit, and PrEP and PEP are available on-site.
Walk-in STI clinics routinely hand off prevention prescriptions to primary care providers, leaving patients to navigate a separate system. Gwinnett Clinic writes and manages both PrEP and PEP in-house, so ongoing HIV prevention, whether daily oral PrEP or post-exposure PEP, stays with the same clinical team handling your testing.
Gwinnett Clinic runs herpes testing and screens for hepatitis A, B, and C as part of its standard panel: infections that require their own specimen collection, lab processing, and, for hepatitis C, dedicated clinical follow-up for management. That fuller workup happens in the same visit, without routing any piece of it to a separate facility.

Four Corners Primary Care Centers in Lawrenceville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with a sliding-scale fee for everyone else, covering gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV testing alongside STI treatment, family planning, and PrEP. Appointments required, care delivered in Spanish.
Without herpes testing on-site, a patient walks out with a partial picture, and then faces a separate appointment, a separate bill, and more time unmanaged. Four Corners Primary Care Centers includes herpes alongside gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV, so the full diagnostic picture comes from a single visit.
Four Corners Primary Care Centers handles PrEP from the prescription forward, including the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring that keeps someone safely on the medication long-term, and maintains PEP availability within the same practice, so prevention isn't handed off to a separate provider.
For someone whose primary language is Spanish and who lacks a regular English-speaking provider, navigating STI care through translated fragments leaves real gaps in understanding treatment plans and medication instructions. Four Corners Primary Care Centers conducts care directly in Spanish, so counseling, prescriptions, and follow-up land clearly the first time.

Georgia Department of Public Health in Loganville runs STI care through public health infrastructure, pairing gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV testing with same-visit bacterial treatment and sliding-scale fees. By appointment, with every service provided at no fee.
The no-fee structure isn't a promotional offer: it's underwritten by state public health appropriations, meaning the full scope of testing, treatment, and vaccines is funded before a patient walks in. Sliding-scale eligibility extends to everyone, and Medicaid and Medicare are accepted for those who carry them.
Rather than routing substance-use concerns to a separate agency, the clinic maintains counseling and treatment capacity within the same appointment structure. Medication adherence education is also staffed on-site, so patients managing HIV or STI treatment regimens get behavioral support built into their care, not added later.
Herpes diagnostics are ordered and processed through the same clinical workflow as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV. No separate referral pathway or outside lab arrangement. That means a single appointment can return results across five infections rather than four.

MedLink Georgia carries hepatitis C treatment in-house alongside testing for hepatitis A, B, and C: meaning a confirmed hepatitis C case moves into antiviral management at the same clinic, without a separate specialist referral introducing delay between diagnosis and care.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Gwinnett County, the county that includes Grayson, compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#81 of 159 Georgia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 49% of the state
| Infection | Gwinnett County | Georgia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 519.9 5,113 cases ▼ 20% | 646.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 163.4 1,607 cases ▼ 41% | 274.8 | 179.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Gwinnett County, chlamydia has risen from 413.2 to 519.9 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has risen from 116.9 to 163.4 per 100,000 (40%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 11.3 to 10.6 per 100,000 (6%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Gwinnett County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Gwinnett County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Gwinnett County HIV care continuum (2023)
Gwinnett County recorded 29 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Gwinnett County residents living with HIV, 86.7% know their status · 80% are in care · 71.7% 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.
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.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Tribble Mill Park trails and the quiet cul-de-sacs off Brooks-Foster Crossing give Grayson a settled, almost unhurried character: a place where homeownership is the near-universal norm and households tend to be large, married, and rooted. That stability is real, but it doesn't make getting tested any simpler when nearly every option requires driving out along GA 20 or Athens Highway to reach a clinic in another part of Gwinnett County. The workforce here is active and employment is tight, which means most adults are working full schedules with limited flexibility mid-week. Younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who represent a meaningful slice of Grayson's population, are often the least likely to carve out time for preventive care when a trip means navigating Loganville Highway during peak hours.
Gwinnett County's STI rates make routine screening genuinely worthwhile for that age group, not a precaution reserved for unusual circumstances. Cost is less likely to be the barrier for many Grayson households: more than half earn above six figures, and options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost sites that serve anyone, regardless of where their income falls. For a renter paying near the local median monthly rate, or a single-income household stretched against a mortgage on a home priced well above the national average, those lower-cost listings are the ones worth clicking first.
Getting there
At 8.5/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Grayson generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In Georgia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
