Dalton is a city in Whitfield County, Georgia. Latest county data shows the prevalence of HIV is 140, chlamydia is 350.2, gonorrhea is 59.5, and syphilis is 2.9 per 100,000 people.
Sherry Gregory, Infectious Disease Supervisor for North Georgia Health District 1-2 of the Georgia Department of Public Health, said, “April is STD Awareness Month, so we’re placing a special emphasis on how to prevent STDs and on the importance of getting tested and treated for these diseases.”
Dalton public health is managed by the public health department of Whitfield County. The department advocates and supports programs such as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and educational brochures and HIV testing.
There are a few options to consider when looking for a location. The Whitfield County Health Department has a clinic in Dalton on professional Blvd and the Living Bridge Center clinic on West Waugh St.
There are medical clinics also in Dalton located on North Fredrick St, Airport Rd, and the Santa Rosa clinic on East Walnut Ave.
Other clinics to choose from in nearby Chatsworth include the Murray County Health Department clinic on Old Dalton Ellijay Rd and the C Worth Family Walk In Clinic on US-76.
While some clinics may offer free STD testing, other clinics may not show the costs up front. Some clinics may only be open certain hours, may not offer prescriptions after testing if you are tested positive, or may not take walk-in patients.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
