Atlanta STD Testing Questions
Where can I get tested for free in Atlanta?
AID Atlanta Wellness Center, 1438 W Peachtree Street NW, lists free HIV and STI testing, including chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis screening, Monday to Friday, with walk-ins welcomed. Call (404) 870-7741 first to confirm hours. Fulton County Board of Health centers offer sliding-scale fees if you do not have insurance.
Can I get tested if I do not have insurance?
Insurance is not always required. The Fulton County Board of Health says people without insurance can be charged fees on a sliding scale. Planned Parenthood East Atlanta lists that insurance is not required and accepts cash and cards. Prices are not listed here, so ask each clinic what your visit would cost when you call.
Can a teenager get tested without a parent?
Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 31-17-7, lets a minor consent to care for venereal disease, defined as syphilis, gonorrhea and chancroid, without a parent's consent. Providers may tell a parent, though. Fulton's Teen Health Clinic serves ages 12 to 21 at 3700 MLK Jr. Drive SW, (770) 520-7323, and says no teen is turned away for inability to pay.
Can I ask for a test if I have no symptoms?
Yes, you can ask for a test without symptoms. The CDC notes that many STIs cause no symptoms, so only a test can show what is present. Which tests make sense depends on your history and exposures, so a clinician can help you decide. Bacterial STIs are curable with treatment from a clinician; HIV and herpes are treatable and manageable.
Where can I get an HIV test in Atlanta?
AID Atlanta offers free HIV tests onsite, using a 4th generation blood test or INSTI rapid test. Fulton's 10 Park Place Health Center, 10 Park Place SE, 5th floor, lists HIV testing at (770) 520-7500, with last walk-in appointments at 3:00 p.m. Georgia DPH also offers an at-home HIV self-test by online request.
This page is general health information, not medical advice. It cannot tell you whether you have an infection. A clinician can, and the testing options on this site are a good place to start. If you may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, go to an emergency department or urgent care now and ask about PEP.
