As the largest city in Georgia, you will find many health care resources in Atlanta. However, as a more conservative American state, you will need to be careful about choosing your health care providers in Georgia. You need a prescription to obtain birth control. If you're a minor, it's recommended that you visit a Title X clinic to seek out birth control or counseling. If you want emergency contraception (the morning after pill), you can access it without a prescription. You can simply go to a pharmacy or health center and purchase it. There are some low-cost centers for STI/STD tests, and we have a list of places where you can find PrEP in Atlanta. In June 2022, the United States Supreme Court struck down Roe v.
