About STD Testing Facilities in Atlanta GA
Maximum Convenience for STD Testing in Atlanta
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)—are no joke. However, STD testing and treatment doesn't have to be complicated. We want to make the process of finding a clinic that has the STD tests you need as convenient for you as possible. Information like contact numbers, business hours, and more is available for many local facilities. The power to choose a clinic with the testing and treatment that's right for you has never been easier!
Order an STD Test
After you find a facility, you can buy an STD test here. Select the infections you wish to test for and follow the check-out instructions. Be sure to bring proof of your purchase (the Requisition Form or code) with you to your chosen clinic.
HIV Quick Facts About Atlanta, Georgia
As of 2015, the CDC estimates that 1.1 million people have HIV in the United States.[1] The CDC also reports that 52% of new HIV diagnoses occurred in the South in 2017.[2] In 2016, health officials estimated that 35,402 people were living with HIV in Atlanta GA alone.[3]
STD Quick Facts About Atlanta
Chlamydia and gonorrhea were two of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States of America in 2017. Did you know that the CDC reported 65,104 cases of chlamydia and 22,667 cases of gonorrhea in Georgia during that year? This means that Georgia ranked #6 for chlamydia and #9 for gonorrhea out of all 50 states based on the 2017 STD Surveillance Report's ranking methodology.[4]
Unfortunately, many people don't notice symptoms of these two incredibly common infections. An STD test is the only way to know for sure know the true state of your sexual health.
Who Is at Risk?
Certain demographics are considered to be at higher risk of contracting some infections. That being said, ANYONE who engages in vaginal, anal, and/or oral sex—especially if unprotected—can contract an STD, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, or race.
What Are Common STD Symptoms?
Symptoms will vary by the individual as well as the specific infection. What is incredibly common though is for people to notice no symptoms at all. Looking for symptoms alone is not an accurate indicator of your health.
Tests & Pricing: How Much Is STD Testing?
It depends on the tests you take and whether you decide to bundle them. Some tests will be more expensive than others. For example, a hepatitis A test, hepatitis B test, and hepatitis C test here will each only cost you less than $25. Specialized tests will usually cost more than standard options. For instance, an HIV early detection test will usually cost more than a regular HIV test, but can give you accurate results about your HIV status far sooner than a standard testing method.
Bundling is a great idea not only to save money, but also to give you peace of mind. If you’re already getting tested for one infection, getting tested for other common STDs can help give you a more comprehensive view of your sexual health. Bundling a chlamydia test and gonorrhea test is common and often results in serious savings.Even more options are available, though. Here you can get HIV type 1, HIV type 2, herpes 1 (usually oral herpes), herpes 2 (usually genital herpes), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing all for a great price.
Of course, if you visit a clinic and receive other services, your bills might be higher. Whether or not your insurance covers certain tests and/or doctor visits can also impact how much you will pay out of pocket for testing.
How Long Does STD Testing Take?
The actual process for getting tested can be simple and quick. Depending on the test (or tests) you take, you can be done providing certain samples for a lab test—like urine—in minutes. You might even be able to complete some tests and get results right in a health center office. Rapid HIV testing, for example, can take less than 20 minutes.
Providing samples for other types of tests might take slightly longer. A syphilis test, for example, most commonly involves drawing blood at a health center. Ultimately, how long this process takes depends on the infections you test for and your testing methods.
How Long Will my STD Test Results Take?
You can get fast results, as quickly as in 1-2 days. Just know that testing right before a weekend or holiday can make the wait longer.
What Happens If I Test Positive?
If you test positively for an STD, you should receive further instructions on what to do when you receive your diagnosis. This will involve speaking to a licensed medical professional about treatment and also reaching out to any and all sexual partners you may have exposed as well.
I Want Lots of Medical Information. Where Can I Get It?
You can get information on STDs, care, treatment, counseling, and more from your doctor, local and state health departments, or the CDC, among other places.
