Mableton, GA is the largest unincorporated community in Metro Atlanta. Part of Cobb County, Mableton has seen an increase in the prevalence rates for STDs and HIV during the five-year period from 2012 to 2016.
During that time, the number of people with HIV in Mableton doubled with a 50.4% increase in the prevalence rate. Conversely, in the two years since, this number has begun to recede and has dropped by 5.25% from 2016 to 2018.
The prevalence rate of STDs however, shows no sign of slowing its upward climb. From 2012 to 2016, Mableton saw a 35.5% increase in these cases.
“Knowing your status can be a stressful experience but having the peace of mind by getting tested allows everyone the opportunity to be knowledgeable about their sexual health and wellness,” said Karrie Pate, CDPH HIV Prevention Program Manager.
Those seeking screening services in Mableton, GA have a wealth of resources upon which to call. These include the multitude of clinics and health centers located in Atlanta.
One such resource is Sister Love, Inc in SW Atlanta. Self-described as a “women’s HIV/AIDS and reproductive justice organization,” this resource may offer STD and HIV testing.
Outside of Atlanta, there is the Cobb & Douglas Public Health (CDPH) Department in Smyrna, Smyrna Public Health. Also, Marietta is home to a Planned Parenthood office that might provide STD resources that includes screenings.
Anyone considering free STD testing should make sure they know what they are getting beforehand. Many times, these types of testing have long or inconsistent wait times and may be so public that everyone knows why you are there.
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.
