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.
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.
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-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.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Webster County, the county that includes Weston, compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
#105 of 159 Georgia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Webster County | Georgia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 427.9 10 cases ▼ 34% | 646.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 171.2 4 cases ▼ 38% | 274.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 20 | 15.8 |

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Webster County, chlamydia has risen from 383.3 to 427.9 per 100,000 (12%), and gonorrhea has risen from 170.4 to 171.2 per 100,000 (0%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Webster County.
Local HIV snapshot
Webster County HIV care continuum (2023)
Webster County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Webster County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 60% 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 Webster County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Main Street in Weston runs through a community where nearly every household owns its home outright, a stability that shapes daily life in ways both practical and subtle. With average households among the smallest in the region and well under half of adults married, many residents here navigate health decisions independently, without a partner prompting or scheduling on their behalf. That solo dynamic can quietly shift whether routine care, including STI screening, makes it onto anyone's calendar at all. The labor-force picture adds another layer.
A significant share of residents are outside the workforce entirely (retired, caregiving, or otherwise not in standard nine-to-five rhythms) yet unemployment among those who are working runs notably high. For younger adults in Webster County, where STI rates carry real weight, that kind of economic uncertainty can push health costs and time off for appointments into genuinely hard trade-offs, even in a community where high household incomes are common. Near Turkey Creek Church, that road reality is just part of how residents manage everything, but knowing the one closest clinic listed here is worth the trip, and building the time for it, is the practical first step.
Getting there

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.
