YourTown Health in Palmetto runs entirely without cost to patients (every service, every visit) and covers HIV (rapid and self-test), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and no appointment required.
Read full overviewShow less
Every Service Runs on a Zero-Balance Model
YourTown Health sustains a fully no-cost structure by operating on a sliding scale that bottoms out at zero for everyone: Medicaid, uninsured, and insured patients alike. The clinic's billing and intake are built around that floor, so no service is tiered, deferred, or conditioned on payment capacity.
Spanish and Interpretation Built Into the Clinical Encounter
YourTown Health provides care directly in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, which means clinical conversations (symptom history, treatment options, medication instructions) happen in real time without a lag, and nothing gets lost between a staff member and a third-party line.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here
YourTown Health prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP in-house: especially useful for someone paying cash, without an established primary care provider, or needing medication access without a separate referral chain. PrEP for uninsured patients is covered, and the clinic handles ongoing monitoring alongside the prescription.
Fulton County Board of Health in College Park runs the full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB) on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, no appointment required, and clinical services in Spanish.

Spanish Is the Clinical Language Here
Spanish-language care at Fulton County Board of Health isn't routed through a secondary channel: it is the direct clinical interaction, from intake through counseling and treatment. That means nuance, dosing instructions, and prevention planning all land in Spanish without a layer of translation in between.
DoxyPEP Alongside PrEP and PEP
Many prevention programs stock PrEP and leave it there. Fulton County Board of Health prescribes all three evidence-based prevention regimens (PrEP for ongoing HIV risk reduction, PEP, and DoxyPEP for post-exposure bacterial STI prevention) making it one of the few county health sites where a single visit can address multiple prevention needs at once.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Included in the Panel
Beyond the standard four, Fulton County Board of Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, meaning chronic viral infections that often run silently alongside bacterial STIs are caught in the same visit. On-site hepatitis A and B vaccination extends that coverage into active prevention.
HEALing Community Health in Atlanta tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and both hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with Medicare and Medicaid accepted, and treats bacterial infections the same visit. Appointments are required.

PrEP and PEP Available Where Prevention Rarely Lives
Plenty of STI clinics hand off prevention medication to a primary care provider and leave patients to sort out the rest. HEALing Community Health in Atlanta prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, including subsidized PrEP for uninsured patients, keeping prevention and testing inside the same clinical relationship.
Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four
The panel at HEALing Community Health runs serologic testing for herpes simplex alongside antibody and antigen testing for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, infections that require separate specimen handling and clinical interpretation beyond the gonorrhea-chlamydia-syphilis-HIV baseline most sites stop at.

Southside Medical Center in Riverdale sees patients without an appointment for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, HPV and hepatitis B vaccines, and PrEP: all on a sliding-scale fee, and all services provided at no cost.

Every Visit Settled Before You Leave
When cost follows a diagnosis, people delay treatment, skip follow-up, or walk away from PrEP. At Southside Medical Center, every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP) carries no fee, so nothing between a visit and a prescription is left unresolved.
Spanish and Interpretation On-Site, Not Scheduled Separately
A missed nuance in a treatment plan (a dosing schedule misunderstood, a symptom not fully described) can undo an otherwise complete visit. Southside Medical Center provides care directly in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, keeping every clinical exchange precise.
Ryan White Funding Carries HIV Care Past the Test
Ryan White Program funding at Southside Medical Center means HIV care doesn't stop at a confirmed result, it extends into ongoing treatment and medication adherence counseling, with the program absorbing costs for eligible patients so the continuum of care stays intact.

Atlanta ID Group in Fayetteville brings infectious disease specialist depth to STI care: HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and full hepatitis panels are tested on a fee-and-insurance model, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP and PEP available by appointment.
Read full overviewShow less
Tenofovir-Based Prevention Built Into Ongoing Care
Atlanta ID Group prescribes both PrEP, typically tenofovir-based daily oral regimens, and PEP within the same infectious disease practice that handles testing and treatment. That integration means monitoring labs, prescription management, and clinical follow-up stay with one provider rather than being split across separate referrals.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at the Same Address
Many clinics run a hepatitis C antibody test and send patients elsewhere for the antivirals that actually clear the infection. Atlanta ID Group treats hepatitis C on-site: direct-acting antiviral therapy managed by the same specialist who ordered the test, without a hand-off to a separate gastroenterology or hepatology practice.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Testing Alongside the Core Panel
For anyone without an established primary care provider or specialist, Atlanta ID Group's panel covers hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. A scope that matters when a single appointment needs to answer questions across multiple infection categories rather than triggering separate lab orders elsewhere.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 7 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Union City, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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 HIV care continuum (2023)
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.

Households in Union City tend to be large and multigenerational, an average of nearly four people under one roof, yet fewer than three in ten adults here are married, which means health decisions often rest on individual shoulders rather than shared ones. That dynamic matters for sexual health screening: when no one else is prompting the conversation or splitting the mental load, testing is easiest when it genuinely requires little effort to arrange. With two-thirds of residents renting at rents that, while modest by metro Atlanta standards, still represent a real slice of a household budget, and with unemployment running meaningfully above the regional norm, discretionary spending and flexible time are both under pressure.
The younger adults who move through Fireside and Mallory Estates, the late-teen and twenty-something crowd for whom chlamydia and gonorrhea rates peak nationally, are often the ones most stretched between work schedules and cost constraints. That combination, affordable or free options close to where people already travel, is what makes routine testing realistic here rather than aspirational. A quick stop near Duncan Memorial Park or along West Broad Street can fit between a shift and an errand, which is exactly how preventive care actually gets used.

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.
