Testing covers the infections that matter most
Nexclin screens for HIV, hepatitis B and C, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and TB. If you test positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis, treatment happens the same visit.

Beyond testing, Nexclin offers HPV and hepatitis A vaccines, plus counseling on STI, TB, HIV, and hepatitis prevention. If you're at risk or just want to close gaps in your vaccine history, these are available during your appointment.
Expect a standard visit fee
Nexclin accepts Medicaid and insurance; if you're uninsured, you'll pay a fee per visit. Bring your card or ask about your coverage when you book.

Here's how reported STI rates in Fulton County — the county that includes Roswell — compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~24% 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.

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.

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.

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in Georgia
The questions Roswell 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.
