Fees & payment
Georgia Department of Public Health in Fort Valley pairs rapid HIV testing and same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with sliding-scale fees accepted alongside Medicaid and private insurance; appointments are required, and care is delivered in Spanish.
Plenty of clinics run the core four and send you elsewhere for anything beyond them. Georgia Department of Public Health in Fort Valley tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so a single appointment produces a complete picture rather than a partial one.
The clinic prescribes and manages PrEP directly, including for uninsured patients, and provides the follow-up HIV and kidney-function testing that ongoing PrEP use requires. PEP is also available. Both are staffed and administered here rather than coordinated through outside providers.
When STI care has to pass through translation that isn't clinically fluent, the consequence is often a follow-up visit to clarify treatment instructions, or none at all. Georgia Department of Public Health in Fort Valley delivers the full visit, including counseling and treatment decisions, in Spanish, keeping care intact the first time.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Macon County, the county that includes Marshallville, compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#35 of 159 Georgia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 78% of the state
| Infection | Macon County | Georgia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 778.5 92 cases ▲ 20% | 646.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 245.4 29 cases ▼ 11% | 274.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16.9 2 cases ▼ 16% | 20 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 8.5 1 cases ▼ 54% | 18.4 | 16 |

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 Macon County, chlamydia has risen from 604.2 to 778.5 per 100,000 (29%), gonorrhea has risen from 165.5 to 245.4 per 100,000 (48%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.3 to 16.9 per 100,000 (104%).

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 Macon County.
Local HIV snapshot
Macon County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Macon County residents living with HIV, 82.4% are in care · 70.3% 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 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 Macon County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The East Main Street Residential Historic District anchors Marshallville with the kind of deep-rooted stability that comes from generations of homeowners on the same lots, but beneath that settled surface, nearly a quarter of households rent, unemployment runs high, and more than four in ten working-age residents aren't in the labor force at all. Those realities shape daily life in ways that reach into healthcare decisions. Getting tested here isn't a walk-in errand. When the unemployment picture means unpredictable schedules, not rigid nine-to-fives, that trip becomes easier to postpone, which is exactly the problem for young adults in their late teens and twenties, for whom routine screening is most consequential and most easily deferred.
The options listed on this page vary by hours, so matching an available appointment to an available vehicle is the practical puzzle most residents are actually solving. Cost shapes the picture just as concretely. With typical rents well under $500 a month and fewer than one in ten households reaching the $100k threshold, even a modest lab fee lands differently here. Sliding-scale and no-cost options among the clinics listed on this page are worth filtering by first, they're the ones a renting household on Nursing Home Road is most likely to actually afford.
Getting there
At 4.52/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Marshallville 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.
