About 7 miles north of Red Oak in Atlanta: Faebris is a full-service STI and HIV clinic where you book an appointment to get tested, treated, and started on prevention in one visit. It's built for anyone who needs thorough screening and ongoing care, whether you're insured, on Medicaid, or paying out of pocket.
Read full overviewShow less
Book ahead for a complete visit
Faebris requires an appointment, so plan a few days out—but once you're in, a single visit covers testing, treatment, and prevention counseling all at once. That means you can walk out with answers, medication if needed, and a plan to stay negative going forward.
Tests and same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs
You'll get screened for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis—all treatable on the spot if positive. Faebris also runs rapid and conventional HIV tests, hepatitis A, B, and C screening, herpes testing, and TB screening. HIV and hepatitis results need follow-up care and specialist management, but bacterial STIs are handled immediately.
Prevention built into your visit
If you're negative and want to stay that way, Faebris offers PrEP (daily HIV prevention), doxy-PEP (an antibiotic taken after sex to prevent bacterial STIs), HPV vaccine, and hepatitis B vaccine. You'll also get counseling on how to use these tools and stick with them.
Insurance, Medicaid, or a standard fee
Faebris accepts Medicaid and most insurance plans. If you're uninsured, expect a standard visit fee—higher than a public health clinic, but you're paying for same-visit testing and treatment in a private setting.

If prevention is on your mind, the clinic offers PrEP for anyone who needs it, plus HPV and hepatitis A vaccines.
Appointment required

Best for those balancing cost and care
If you're uninsured or underinsured and want testing without sticker shock, or if you have coverage and want a clinic that honors it, HEALing Community Health removes the financial barrier.

Here's how reported STI rates in Fulton County — the county that includes Red Oak — compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~32% of Fulton County residents are aged 15–34 (ACS) — the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally, which is why local screening access matters here.
Lower chlamydia rate than 6% of the state's 159 counties (ranked #11)

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread — a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Fulton County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fulton County recorded 48.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally.
Among Fulton County residents living with HIV, 86% know their status · 76.4% are in care · 64.5% are virally suppressed.
Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers — it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once — every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at the county health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?
Congenital syphilis — passed from parent to baby in pregnancy — is the fastest-rising STI in the country.
U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023.
It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Fulton County tests for syphilis.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a Red Oak-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving Red Oak often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits
bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full
guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment
Testing is one step. For residents of Red Oak, telehealth covers the rest of the picture — HIV-prevention
medication (PrEP) and DoxyPEP to lower future risk, and discreet online treatment if a result comes back
positive. All prescribed by licensed U.S. clinicians.
Prevent (PrEP & DoxyPEP)
Daily or on-demand medication that prevents HIV — and DoxyPEP, which lowers the risk of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in Georgia
The questions Red Oak residents ask most before testing, answered under Georgia law — which sets confidentiality and consent the same way statewide. Prefer to keep your name off the record? See our guide to anonymous STD testing.
Can a minor consent?
In Georgia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own — no parental permission is required. A physician is permitted (but not required) to inform a parent.
Will it show on my insurance?
If you use health insurance, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may be mailed to the policyholder. Under HIPAA you can ask your insurer in writing to send communications confidentially. To keep a test fully private, choose a self-pay private lab, an at-home kit, or a public health clinic — none of these bill your insurance.
Anonymous & no-insurance options
Public health clinics and at-home kits let you test without involving insurance or your regular doctor. Many Georgia health departments offer free or low-cost STI testing, and several sites provide anonymous HIV testing.
Can my partner be treated too?
Yes. Georgia permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication to pass to your partner — no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
