Every Service Runs on Zero Dollars
Plenty of clinics discount some services and bill quietly for others. At Southeast Medical Group, the fee for every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, HIV care) is zero. No line item survives.
Spanish Speakers Get Full Clinical Dialogue
When a language barrier persists through a visit, the clinical conversation suffers: questions go unasked, instructions go misunderstood, and follow-through breaks down. Southeast Medical Group serves patients in Spanish and through interpretation for other languages, so the care delivered matches the care discussed.
PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site
Southeast Medical Group staffs PrEP initiation and ongoing management directly: that means the baseline labs, the prescription, the regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and PEP prescribing. All handled by the same clinical team in Atlanta, not coordinated across separate providers.

Georgia Infectious Diseases in Atlanta runs by appointment, so every visit is structured around your specific needs: the standard panel, sliding-scale fees, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and on-site management of HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C from one practice.
Read full overviewShow less
Georgia Infectious Diseases prescribes and manages PrEP, including the monitoring labs required every three months to keep a prescription active, and carries PEP for post-exposure prevention. Having both under infectious-disease specialty care means neither protocol gets handed off to a separate provider.
Georgia Infectious Diseases holds the full arc of hepatitis C care (antibody testing, confirmatory RNA testing, and direct-acting antiviral treatment) within the same specialty practice. For anyone without a standing relationship with a gastroenterologist or liver specialist, that continuity removes a significant gap between diagnosis and a cure.
The baseline STI panel at most clinics covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Hepatitis testing is frequently a separate referral. Georgia Infectious Diseases runs hepatitis B and hepatitis C tests alongside the standard four, so a single appointment produces a complete infectious-disease picture rather than a partial one.

Elysium Primary Care in Atlanta runs by appointment, bringing structure to visits that cover HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing: with STI treatment same-visit for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and PrEP and PEP on-site.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four
Elysium's testing menu extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core bacterial and viral panel. A standing capability that serves anyone without a regular provider who needs a complete picture, not a partial one, in a single appointment.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at the Same Address
Plenty of testing sites will confirm a hepatitis C antibody and leave patients to locate treatment elsewhere. Elysium carries that care through to active treatment on-site, so a confirmed infection moves directly into a management plan without a handoff gap.
Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and PEP Dispensed On-Site
Elysium prescribes PrEP, including tenofovir-based regimens, with the ongoing HIV and kidney-function monitoring those prescriptions require, and stocks PEP for post-exposure management, keeping both prevention tools within the same clinical relationship rather than fragmented across providers.

Yager Family Medicine in Chamblee runs its STI panel through an appointment-based family practice, covering chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; fees are billed to Medicare or insurance, with a direct fee schedule otherwise.
Read full overviewShow less
Yager Family Medicine prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, meaning the same physician who orders your labs also writes and monitors the medication. No hand-off to an outside provider. Follow-up labs, dosing adjustments, and ongoing prescriptions stay within one practice relationship.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested Alongside the Core Panel
Anyone managing care without a regular specialist, or whose insurer requires a single billing provider, benefits from a panel that extends to hepatitis A, B, and C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB. Yager handles that full scope in one appointment rather than splitting labs across providers.
Mercy Care in Chamblee tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee with walk-ins welcome, and every service, from rapid HIV testing to same-visit bacterial treatment, is provided at no charge.
Read full overviewShow less
Mercy Care carries no fee across its entire slate: TB treatment, STI care, PrEP, hepatitis vaccines, and both rapid and conventional HIV testing all land at the same price: free. That applies whether a visit covers a single test or a combination of services on the same day.
Spanish Is a Full Clinical Language Here
Services at Mercy Care are delivered in Spanish, which means medication adherence counseling, prevention education, and HIV test counseling all happen in the same language. No lag between what a clinician says and what a patient understands when decisions are being made.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
For anyone without a regular prescribing provider, Mercy Care's standing capacity to initiate and manage both PrEP and PEP closes that gap directly: no outside referral needed to start or continue HIV prevention medication, and the visit itself costs nothing.
Someone Cares in Marietta covers rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C testing at no charge to anyone who walks in, no appointment needed, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections and sliding-scale fees extending across all other services.

Every Test, Every Visit, Zero Dollars
When cost sits between a person and a result, infections go undetected and untreated. At Someone Cares, no service (testing, treatment, prevention counseling) carries a charge, so the financial barrier that quietly widens untreated gaps simply does not exist here.
Ryan White Carries HIV Care Past the Diagnosis
Ryan White Program funding at Someone Cares extends the HIV care continuum from initial rapid testing through ongoing treatment and management, a named federal program that ensures people living with HIV have a funded clinical home, not just a one-time result.
Someone Cares prescribes and monitors PrEP directly, which means the required follow-up labs, HIV testing and kidney-function screening at regular intervals, are managed within the same clinic rather than handed off, keeping the prevention regimen intact and clinically supervised.
Dekalb Public Health, Chamblee's county health department, routes STI care through the same infrastructure built for population-level disease response: rapid and conventional HIV testing, the full bacterial panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and walk-in access, all at no fee.
Read full overviewShow less
Zero-Dollar Care Applies to Every Service Listed
The no-fee structure at Dekalb Public Health is not tiered by income documentation or insurance status: it runs across the entire service menu, from the TB test and Mpox vaccine to STI treatment and hepatitis screening. Sliding-scale fees exist for those who need them, but the floor is already zero.
Spanish Is a Staffed Clinical Language Here
Spanish-language services at Dekalb Public Health are delivered by staff, making it a working clinical language across counseling, prevention education, and partner notification. Not a communication workaround layered onto English-language care.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Sits Inside the Standard Visit
Alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, Dekalb Public Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Meaning a single visit can surface bloodborne infections that often go undetected until liver damage has already progressed.
Optimal Integrative Care in Atlanta accepts insurance and charges fees on a sliding scale, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. Spanish-language care is available throughout.

Spanish Spoken Across Every Clinical Service
Optimal Integrative Care carries out testing, counseling, treatment, and prevention education in Spanish. Not through a side channel but as a core clinical capability. For someone navigating PrEP management, hepatitis treatment, or a new diagnosis without an established English-speaking provider, that continuity shapes every appointment.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Available Here
Optimal Integrative Care prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, which means a patient can establish and adjust a full prevention regimen, HIV and bacterial STIs both, without splitting care across separate providers.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Office
For anyone without a regular gastroenterologist or specialist, paying out of pocket or working around a narrow insurance network, Optimal Integrative Care's on-site hepatitis C treatment means the path from diagnosis to antiviral therapy stays in one place, with the same clinical team managing both.

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.

Fulton County recorded 48.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fulton County residents living with HIV, 86% know their status · 76.4% are in care · 64.5% 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.
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 Fulton County tests for syphilis.

Roswell Road cuts through the middle of Sandy Springs with the kind of commercial density that signals a city still figuring out its identity, and the cost picture here reflects exactly that tension. Just over half of residents rent rather than own, and typical monthly rent lands well above what most mid-sized Georgia cities see, which means discretionary spending, including health care that isn't strictly urgent, gets squeezed in ways that aren't always visible from outside. Even with a solid share of households earning six figures, the other sixty percent of the city is navigating real cost pressure alongside busy work schedules, given how high labor-force participation is here.
That working rhythm matters when you think about who most needs routine STI screening. Sandy Springs has a substantial population of people in their late teens and twenties, the years when new partnerships are most common and when infections spread most efficiently before symptoms appear or before anyone thinks to ask. For that crowd, the distance between a thought and an appointment is almost always about logistics: when the clinic is open, how far the drive is off GA 400, whether the cost clears whatever is left after rent.

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.
