Editorial Policy
AtlantaSTDTesting.com is an independent, Atlanta-focused educational guide. This policy explains how we create, review, update, and disclose information so you can understand what we publish—and what we do not provide.
Important: AtlantaSTDTesting.com is not a clinic or laboratory and does not provide medical care.
Testing, specimen collection, lab processing, results delivery, and any telehealth follow-up are provided by third-party clinics/labs or partner networks.
If you have symptoms, recent exposure, or urgent concerns, consult a licensed clinician. In an emergency, call 911.
Our mission
Our mission is to help people in metro Atlanta compare sexual-health testing options with clarity and confidence—including public clinics, community resources, and private testing routes offered through third-party partners.
Accuracy over hype
We aim to use plain language, avoid fear-based messaging, and distinguish general information from medical advice.
Clear boundaries
We do not present ourselves as a healthcare provider. We explain options and direct readers to licensed providers when needed.
What we publish
- Location guides: How to find testing options across metro Atlanta and Georgia.
- Test explainers: What common STI tests are, what samples may be used, and typical turnaround expectations.
- Cost & timing guidance: General pricing ranges and factors that influence cost (provider, panel, insurance, and promotions).
- Privacy & results delivery: How partner portals and clinics commonly handle secure results.
- Public resources: Links to reputable health agencies and local public health programs.
What we do not do
- We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide individualized medical advice.
- We do not claim to operate a clinic, laboratory, or patient service center.
- We do not guarantee turnaround times (they vary by provider, test type, and lab workload).
- We do not collect or store protected health information (PHI) on this website.
For personal guidance—especially if you have symptoms or a recent exposure—consult a qualified healthcare provider. See also: Medical Disclaimer.
Standards & sourcing
We strive to keep our guides practical, clear, and aligned with reputable public-health sources. When we describe public guidance or general health concepts, we reference authoritative sources such as:
Trusted sources we reference
We update pages when: guidance changes, partner offerings change materially (pricing, availability, or messaging), links break, or readers report issues. Key guides include a visible “Last updated” date.
Clinician review policy
Some pages may be reviewed by a licensed clinician for medical accuracy. If a page is clinician-reviewed, we will clearly label it with the reviewer’s name, credentials, and review date.
If a page is not clinician-reviewed, we state that explicitly and describe the editorial fact-checking process used.
Local relevance (Atlanta focus)
We localize content for metro Atlanta by highlighting typical collection availability across neighborhoods and nearby cities, and by linking to local public-health resources when available. Because services and hours can change, confirm details directly with the clinic, lab, or partner network you choose.
Affiliate links & sponsored content
Some outbound links on AtlantaSTDTesting.com may be sponsored/affiliate links. If you purchase through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help keep our guides free.
- We label sponsored relationships clearly and use appropriate attributes (for example
rel="sponsored nofollow") where applicable. - Affiliate relationships do not determine what we publish or how we describe public-health guidance.
- We do not sell “pay-for-rank” placements within editorial content.

Privacy by design
We design content and site features to minimize sensitive data collection. Ordering and results (when users choose private testing options) occur on third-party partner portals or with third-party providers—not on AtlantaSTDTesting.com.

If you spot an error, outdated information, or a broken link, email us and include: (1) the page URL, (2) what looks incorrect, and (3) a reputable source supporting the correction (if available). If we confirm an issue, we update the page and revise the “Last updated” date.

Updates & review schedule

- Public-health guidance changes
- Partner offerings change materially (pricing, turnaround expectations, availability)
- Readers report inaccuracies or broken links
- We identify wording that could imply we provide clinical care
