Westside, GA, is an unincorporated community in Catoosa County. There was an escalation in the number of county residents diagnosed with HIV in the county from a prevalence rate of 64 in 2015 to 72 in 2016, followed by a gradual decrease to 50 per 100,000 individuals in 2020.
Chlamydia infections showed an upward surge from a low of 205.9 per 100,000 individuals recorded in 2015 to 335.9 in 2019, with females reporting a higher number of conditions than males.
The rate of those diagnosed with Gonorrhea infections in the county spiked from 54 per 100,000 individuals in 2015 to 134.7 in 2019. A 37.9% increase in infection rate was reported in 2019 from 96.4 per 100,000 persons registered in the previous year.
On the other hand, the Catoosa County Public Health Department collaborated with the Georgia Department of Public Health and managed to eradicate Syphilis infections in the county between 2015 and 2018, where there were no cases reported.
Sadly, there was an escalation in the following year, with an incidence rate of 14.8 per 100,000 individuals.
To curb the spread of HIV/STDs in the unincorporated community and the county, the Georgia Department of Public Health focuses on improving access to screening and risk-reduction counseling for the youths, including adolescents, young adults, and pregnant women. Its STD/HIV program also provides PrEP medication for at-risk individuals, including men who have sex with other men.
Planned Parenthood - Cobb Health Center, Alphacare urgent care, and Erlanger East Hospital are some healthcare facilities in the Westside area that offer comprehensive STD/HIV testing services.
You could also visit some clinics in the unincorporated community that offers free STD testing. You may still experience varying wait times, and prescriptions for after test care might not be available if you've tested positive.
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.
