Every Fee Waived, Not Just the HIV Test
Plenty of public clinics zero out HIV testing while billing separately for the rest of the panel or the follow-up visit. At Cobb and Douglas Public Health, that calculus disappears entirely. Every service, from TB treatment to STI care to vaccines, carries no charge.
Spanish-Language Care Without a Handoff
Cobb and Douglas Public Health delivers care directly in Spanish, not through a workaround but as a standing clinical capability. For someone navigating a PrEP regimen, an STI diagnosis, or a TB treatment plan, that means medical instructions, counseling, and follow-up all land in the language that carries real precision.
PrEP and PEP Are Both on the Menu
Cobb and Douglas Public Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP, which means prevention isn't a separate errand: it's built into the same visit where testing and counseling happen, shortening the gap between a conversation and an active prescription.
Wellstar GNE Internal Medicine Clinic in Austell tests for HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, treating bacterial infections at the same appointment, on a sliding-scale fee, with care available in Spanish.

Spanish Spoken, Prescriptions Written Here
Wellstar GNE conducts consultations, counseling, and treatment in Spanish, which means a patient's questions, concerns, and follow-up instructions all land in the same language the appointment was conducted in, with no hand-off between staff.
PrEP and PEP Without a Second Stop
Chasing down PrEP or PEP through a separate provider means a gap between the decision and the medication. Wellstar GNE prescribes both on-site, so the gap between wanting prevention and holding a prescription closes at a single appointment.
Hepatitis C Treatment Starts Here
Wellstar GNE treats hepatitis C in-clinic rather than stopping at the antibody result, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan managed by the same providers who ordered the test.
HEALing Community Center in Douglasville earned its federal qualification by committing to serve anyone (insured, uninsured, or paying cash) on a sliding-scale fee tied to income. Syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening is available without an appointment, so gaps in coverage never have to mean gaps in care.
Premier Care Family Medicine in Villa Rica weaves STI testing into ongoing family practice care, pairing the standard panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) with same-visit bacterial treatment, sliding-scale fees, and appointments required; care is available in French and Haitian Creole.
Read full overviewShow less
French and Haitian Creole Spoken at the Clinical Level
Premier Care Family Medicine carries out STI consultations, treatment conversations, and PrEP counseling directly in French and Haitian Creole. Not through an intermediary. When medication adherence or exposure risk needs to be discussed with precision, those exchanges happen in the language the clinician and patient share.
PrEP Prescribed Here, Not Sent Elsewhere
Many family practices screen for HIV but stop short of prescribing PrEP, routing patients to infectious disease specialists instead. Premier Care Family Medicine prescribes PrEP on-site, including coverage for uninsured patients, and also provides PEP, keeping both prevention tools within the same practice rather than across a referral gap.
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 4 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Hiram, 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.

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 Paulding County tests for syphilis.

Sunny Acres and Devonshire are home to the kind of households Hiram runs on: families averaging more than three people, with most adults either working or actively looking for work. That participation rate means schedules are real and full, and with nearly four in ten residents renting at over a thousand dollars a month, an unexpected medical bill can feel like the wrong reason to finally make a call. Paulding County's STI picture matters most for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who make up a significant slice of Hiram's population, and getting tested here takes deliberate planning.
The options listed on this page span a range of fee structures and hours, which matters when over a fifth of households are doing well financially but most others are stretching a paycheck across a household of three or more people. That range is the practical point: someone near Echo Ridge who can only go on a Saturday and someone off Bill Carruth Parkway who needs a sliding-scale fee aren't looking for the same appointment, and listed options make it likely that at least one actually fits what's possible this week.

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.
