Rated 5 out of 5 from 105 reviews

CareConnect Health in Richland tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis, treating confirmed bacterial infections the same visit on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers: appointments required, and care is delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Bacterial Panel

CareConnect's panel extends to hepatitis B and C, drawn and processed through the same appointment as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis screening. A single visit yields results across both infection categories, with hepatitis B vaccination available on-site to close any identified gap in immunity.

Title X Covers Confidential Reproductive Care for Minors

CareConnect operates under Title X, which makes family planning services legally confidential for minors. Meaning a young person's records stay separate from any parental insurance or billing, removing the barrier that would otherwise keep them from coming in.

Spanish-Speaking Staff Deliver Clinical Care Directly

Spanish-language care at CareConnect is staffed capacity: counseling, STI prevention education, and HIV test counseling are conducted directly in Spanish by clinic personnel. That means clinical nuance, risk history, and treatment instructions move through conversation, not across a language gap.

STDs & HIV in Stewart County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Stewart County, the county that includes Lumpkin, compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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 Stewart County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Lumpkin, GA

The elm-shaded blocks of the Uptown Residential Historic District sit as quietly as any small Georgia town you'd picture, but getting to a testing clinic from Lumpkin means getting in a car. GA 27 stretches you out toward the nearest options listed on this page, none of them a short errand. That distance lands differently here given how the town actually runs. With roughly a third of adults outside the labor force and unemployment among the highest in the region, schedules aren't packed the way they are in busier metros, but reliable transportation and the ability to absorb any out-of-pocket cost are real constraints.

Typical rents hover just above five hundred dollars a month against home values that suggest most wealth here is modest and fixed, so a visit that carries an unexpected fee can genuinely change the calculus. Households earning above six figures represent a sliver of the community, which means sliding-scale fees and free testing options aren't a nice-to-have. They're what makes the appointment possible at all. Meanwhile, households here tend to run larger than average, and a substantial share of younger adults in town are in the years when STI rates are highest nationally and when routine screening is most likely to catch something early.

For residents in the East Main Street Residential Historic District or anywhere east of the commercial center, the options listed here worth prioritizing first are the ones that confirm costs upfront. Because in Lumpkin, a sliding-scale visit beats a free brochure every time.

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.
