A 1999 documentary called The Lost Children of Rockdale County described a syphilis outbreak among teens in Rockdale County, infecting around 200 people, who were later treated.
In 2017, 20 people were diagnosed with syphilis, with a rate of 27.7 per 100K people.
Also that year, there were 638 cases of chlamydia (a rate of 809.4, up 80% from 2010) and 196 of gonorrhea. Five people were diagnosed with HIV in 2017 and, at the end of 2015, there were 290 people living with HIV or AIDS.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Conyers, and there are even more options if you can get closer to Atlanta (and it can be easier to find free STD testing in large cities). The Walk In Clinic, on Highway 212 SW, screens for STDs.
The Rockdale County Health Department provides STI testing and can be found on Taylor St. And the Atlanta STD Clinic on Access Rd in Covington offers comprehensive STD testing.
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.

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.

Georgia state law insists on HIV and sexual education that lay emphasize on abstinence till marriage. Programs in sexual assault and abuse prevention are mandatory in schools from kindergarten to K12. However, the local schools are free to decide on what sex-related information or content they decide to share with middle and high-schoolers. The program “may” include sexual abuse awareness.
This means the school authorities decide what appropriate content is. Most local schools tend to caution students about the risks of STD, regardless of condom use, instead of impressing upon them the right approach to using condoms and the need for consistent use of condoms. The fact is even if pregnancy is not a concern, STD is.
The downside of this is school children are not really equipped with comprehensive sex-related information to make informed and responsible choices. The result is disastrous. Adolescence is the age where hormones effectively delegate common sense to the back seat and usurp the driver’s seat. This is when kids need age-appropriate information that will help them adopt a healthy approach to the physical side of their intimate relationships when they do become sexually active. This includes the importance of HIV testing and herpes testing.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey conducted in 2011 puts the percentage of high school students who have indulged in sex at 47 percent. While this age group makes up for just about 25 percent of the population sexually active, they account for nearly half the STDs including gonorrhea, human papillomavirus (HPV), and chlamydia. The statistics do not make allowance for the unreported and undiagnosed cases. One of the reasons students don’t go to an STD clinic for testing is the lack of symptoms.
Statistics have brought to light that African American males, both heterosexual and bisexual, bear the disparate burden of STD (especially HIV) when compared to all other ethnic groups. About 55.5 percent of Conyers, GA population is comprised of African Americans, making the population more vulnerable to STD.
Feb 7th is observed as Black HIV/AIDS Awareness day. The nucleus of this awareness day is to use local communities to educate this ethnic and vulnerable group about HIV and other STDs. The focus of this initiative is to encourage them to get STD tested on this day each year. Both college and organizations based on faith are used as a platform to grease the wheels of this initiative.
Also, the CDC uses another platform GYT (Get Yourself Tested) to increase awareness of STD and get young people to take control of their sexual health, irrespective of their sexual orientation. Non-symptomatic STD poses the biggest threat.
STD testing is the only way to know whether or not you have chlamydia, a STD that is non-symptomatic in most people. If left untreated, it could lead to ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and an increased risk of an HIV infection. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it on to their babies during the birthing process. Such babies face the risk of lung and eye infections.
