Read full overview Show less

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

Sliding-scale clinics typically anchor their free tier to a single service, usually HIV testing, and charge for everything around it. At To Our Shores, the no-fee structure extends across the full visit: testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and hepatitis C care all carry the same price tag.

Spanish Care Without the Transfer Step

When language support isn't built into a clinic's care, a Spanish-speaking patient often leaves with instructions they can't act on. A prescription they misread, a follow-up they miss. To Our Shores delivers care directly in Spanish, with interpretation available for other languages, so nothing gets lost between the appointment and the treatment.

Ryan White Funding Covers HIV from Diagnosis Forward

To Our Shores carries Ryan White funding, which means HIV care doesn't stop at a confirmed test result. Ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling are managed at the same clinic, keeping the full arc of care continuous.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Without a Separate Referral

Leaving a clinic with only a test result and no prevention prescription means a separate appointment, another provider, and a gap where risk continues unchecked. GNR Public Health in Lawrenceville prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, closing that gap before a patient walks out.

Spanish and Interpretation Woven Into Clinical Care

MedLink Georgia offers Spanish-language services and interpretation for other languages directly within appointments, which means a patient's questions about their results, treatment plan, or prevention options get addressed in full, not summarized after the fact.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through MedLink Directly

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.

Title X Confidentiality Extends to Minors Here

PrEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site in Lawrenceville

Planned Parenthood Southeast in Lawrenceville prescribes and manages PrEP, including the baseline HIV and renal labs required before starting, and also provides PEP, meaning both the pre-exposure and post-exposure oral medication pathways are handled within the same clinic rather than requiring a separate provider relationship.

Northside Hospital

Northside Hospital in Lawrenceville accepts Medicaid and private insurance for STI care, with a fee schedule for those paying out of pocket. The panel covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C. Plus PrEP and PEP. An appointment is required.

Read full overview Show less

Northside Hospital carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services, meaning the prescription conversation happens with the same provider who runs your panel. That continuity keeps prevention medication integrated with ongoing care rather than split across separate appointments.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or whose coverage makes specialist visits complicated, Northside's extended panel is the practical answer. Herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing sit alongside the core bacterial and HIV tests, so a single visit produces a fuller clinical picture without needing to schedule additional appointments elsewhere.

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 Gwinnett County tests for syphilis.

Data & references

About Lawrenceville, GA

Lawrenceville tilts just barely toward renting, and that slim majority shapes the texture of daily life here in ways that matter for health decisions. Renters at $1,027 a month are stretching budgets that don't leave much slack, and when a paycheck is already accounted for, a clinic visit can feel like one more thing competing for time and money rather than a straightforward errand. That budget reality lands unevenly on the younger adults who make up a substantial slice of Gwinnett County's STI caseload: people in their late teens and twenties forming new relationships, often without stable insurance or a regular doctor already in their corner. The household picture adds another layer. With an average of more than three people per home and well under half of adults currently married, many Lawrenceville households are navigating relationships and shared living in ways that make periodic screening genuinely practical.

Not precautionary in a clinical, distant sense. m. is a different proposition than one that requires taking a half-day from a job that doesn't offer it. One of them is likely close to Freeman's Mill Park or the neighborhoods off West Pike Street where a lot of that driving actually starts.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Lawrenceville often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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.
