As a suburb of Atlanta, Lawrenceville is home to many daily commuters. Unfortunately, STDs are also traveling. With some of the highest rates in the country of gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia, taking care of your sexual health should remain a top priority.
The most commonly reported STDs are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Sadly, Georgia is in the top five states in the nation for reported cases each year of these STDs.
Younger sexually active individuals, aged 15 to 24, are at the highest risk for contracting an STD; however, most STDs are treatable with proper care from your medical professional.
The highest rates of syphilis and HIV transmission occur in men who are in sexual relationships with other men. Left untreated, the worst outcomes of STD infections are seen in transference of infection from mother to baby during pregnancy. Keep yourself and your partner safe with routine testing.
Many locations exist in and around the Lawrenceville area. Locations include the Gwinnett Newton and Rockdale County Health Department on Grayson Highway to Planned Parenthood Southeast Incorporated on Lawrenceville Suwanee Road, and the Positive Impact Health Center on Breckinridge Boulevard in Duluth to Four Corners Primary Care on Oakbrook Parkway in Norcross.
Sometimes payment can be a problem which is why there is free STD testing. The one thing you should be aware of is that fees may apply if you test positive and need treatment.
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.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.

13081 GA-9, Milton, GA 30004, USA
Unfortunately for residents, part of the issue might be that Georgia schools are failing to make the grade on teaching recommended sexual education topics. Basic disease prevention, like condom usage, isn’t being consistently taught across our city.
With Georgia ranking fourth in the nation for syphilis infection and ninth for chlamydia as well as fourth for HIV and 13th for teen pregnancies, it’s clear we are doing an inadequate job of preparing our children for a healthy sexual future. State law mandates that sexual and HIV education emphasizes abstinence-until-marriage. This means our children are not getting a comprehensive knowledge and the skills required to avoid STD infection and pregnancies.
The CDC warns that lack of effective sex education can have very real and very serious health consequences. Another alarming factor is that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students are at a disproportionate risk for HIV and other STDs in the community. They also experience higher rates of harassment, dating violence, and sexual violence. The students, as well as the general population, would benefit from inclusive comprehensive sexual education.
Attitudes are sexuality need rapid change in order to help keep locals healthy. Sexual health needs to become a public topic rather than a hidden secret if our city wants to change the trend in sexual health from reactive to proactive.
According to recent census information, Lawrenceville has a population of just above 30,000 citizens split very equally between male and female.
81% of the population has graduated from high school but only 21% have a bachelor’s degree. The median household income is $41,000 annually and 25% of locals are living in poverty. This means that the city runs high risk for STDs since these poverty levels would indicate inadequate health-care for 1/4 of the population.
In our region race seems to matter when looking at HIV rates. Black people are affected much more often than Caucasians and other demographics. And maps that indicate poverty levels and infection levels look remarkably similar.
What health professionals know are at-risk populations need regular education as well as access to testing and treatment to improve STD stats. Fortunately for local residents there are new options to help take care of this old problem- affordable and accessible health-care.
Residents love our mild winters, our cool, historic downtown, sipping sweet tea on the porch and our small town vibe close to the big city. What we need to work on is keeping our town healthy. Given our poverty rates, our demographics and the way we are currently educating our citizens, there is a danger that our sexually transmitted diseases will continue to spread unless we start taking control of our own sexual health. This begins with the regular testing.
Currently there are multiple centers available where you can have same-day walk-in testing or specific appointment testing in a more private facility. There’s also the option to order tests on-line and submit them by mail for an entirely private and anonymous testing. Students, low-income families and at-risk populations can access free health services provided by the county. Together we can put the peace-of-mind back in sexual health. Taking the stigma out of the conversation about STDs and normalizing sexual health-care helps our entire community.
