Recovery Consultants of Atlanta in Decatur runs STI care inside a substance-use treatment practice, which means gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV testing sit alongside PrEP and PEP. All on a sliding-scale fee with appointments required.
When prevention requires a prescription, whether PrEP for ongoing protection or PEP after exposure, having to track down a separate prescribing provider means a gap in coverage that can stretch days or weeks. Recovery Consultants of Atlanta writes and manages both, so continuity of prevention isn't contingent on a second appointment elsewhere.
Recovery Consultants of Atlanta is a licensed substance-abuse treatment program, meaning STI screening isn't an add-on service bolted to the side but is integrated into the same clinical record as addiction care. That co-location allows providers to address the behavioral and infectious-disease risks that frequently travel together without splitting a patient's care across separate facilities.
The testing panel at Recovery Consultants of Atlanta extends to a rapid hepatitis C antibody test in addition to HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also available on-site, and hepatitis prevention education is built into the clinic's counseling, so viral hepatitis is addressed diagnostically and preventively in a single visit.

That zero-cost structure applies to the full visit, not selected line items.
People who want ongoing HIV prevention through PrEP but don't have a primary care provider can establish that care directly at The Walk in Clinic. The clinic holds the standing capacity to prescribe and manage PrEP, meaning prevention medication isn't contingent on a separate referral chain or specialist.

GNR Public Health in Conyers runs appointments for the full bacterial and viral STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, herpes, HIV, and TB) treating bacterial infections the same visit and covering everything on a sliding scale, with all services available at no fee.
For anyone managing care without insurance, without a regular provider, or simply paying out of pocket, GNR Public Health's standing policy is that no service generates a bill. Testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP. The fee is zero across the board, no exceptions buried in the intake process.
When STI care requires a second appointment or an outside referral to find Spanish-language support, the gap between visit and treatment widens, and bacterial infections don't wait. GNR Public Health delivers services directly in Spanish, keeping diagnosis, counseling, and same-visit treatment on a single timeline.
GNR Public Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, and carries dedicated funding to cover PrEP costs for patients without insurance. Meaning the medication that prevents HIV transmission stays accessible rather than contingent on coverage.

Georgia Harm Reduction Coalition in Stone Mountain tests for HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia (all free, no appointment required) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale fees extending across the full range of services.
Every service at Georgia Harm Reduction Coalition carries no fee, which means the full panel (rapid HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) plus PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, and both vaccines comes without a cost calculation at the end of the visit.
Georgia Harm Reduction Coalition delivers complete care in Spanish, including the medication-specific counseling for DoxyPEP and PrEP that demands precision (dosing windows, adherence protocols, follow-up scheduling) so nothing critical is compressed into a secondary exchange.
Gaps in prevention coverage often come down to fragmented access, PrEP at one site, PEP at another, DoxyPEP somewhere else entirely. Georgia Harm Reduction Coalition prescribes and manages all three, so a prevention plan built around multiple exposures or ongoing risk doesn't get fractured across providers.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in DeKalb County, the county that includes Stonecrest, compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#20 of 159 Georgia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | DeKalb County | Georgia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 884.9 6,752 cases ▲ 37% | 646.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 426.7 3,256 cases ▲ 55% | 274.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 25.3 193 cases ▲ 27% | 20 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 35.6 272 cases ▲ 93% | 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 DeKalb County, chlamydia has risen from 692.6 to 884.9 per 100,000 (28%), gonorrhea has risen from 300.8 to 426.7 per 100,000 (42%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 29.6 to 25.3 per 100,000 (15%).

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 DeKalb County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: DeKalb County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
DeKalb County HIV care continuum (2023)
DeKalb County recorded 48 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among DeKalb County residents living with HIV, 86.3% know their status · 79.7% are in care · 69% 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.
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 DeKalb County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Burlington sits at the heart of Stonecrest's residential spread, home to households that skew toward renters carrying real monthly obligations and workers whose schedules rarely align neatly with a weekday clinic window. With most residents renting rather than owning, and unemployment running noticeably above state averages, discretionary time and predictable income are not givens here. Households in Stonecrest tend to be larger than the national norm, meaning one person's health decision often ripples across several others under the same roof.
Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a substantial portion of the population, and this is precisely the life stage when STI exposure is highest and routine screening is least likely to feel urgent. For someone juggling a labor-force schedule, a shared household in Salem West, and rent that absorbs a meaningful share of take-home pay, getting tested depends heavily on whether an option is close enough, affordable enough, and available outside the nine-to-five window.
Getting there
At 10.04/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Stonecrest generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
