Novant Health in Winston-Salem accepts insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare, with a standard fee structure, and covers the full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C) plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required.
Novant Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means a single appointment can establish or continue a prevention regimen without sending you elsewhere to fill that piece of the plan.
Many clinics test for hepatitis C and stop there, leaving patients to navigate treatment elsewhere. Novant Health carries that care forward, a reactive result doesn't end the conversation, it starts one that leads to treatment in the same system.
For anyone without a regular provider, or paying out of pocket and wanting a complete picture, Novant Health's panel extends beyond the core four to include herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, so a single visit accounts for infections that a narrower panel would miss entirely.

Salem Pregnancy Support Center in Winston-Salem takes walk-ins for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing. No appointment needed to get the full panel. Bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and every service carries no fee.
Testing, treatment, and education at Salem Pregnancy Support Center are provided at no charge. That means STI treatment, not just the test, is covered, so a positive result doesn't split into a free diagnosis and a separate bill for care.
Spanish is available directly through staff at Salem Pregnancy Support Center, and interpretation services extend to other non-English languages as well. Two tiers of language access means the clinical conversation (exposure history, treatment instructions, medication adherence counseling) doesn't compress under translation constraints.
Salem Pregnancy Support Center tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the core four bacterial and viral STIs, six infections screened in a single visit. On-site hepatitis treatment and medication adherence counseling mean a hepatitis result leads directly to managed care, not a separate referral chain.

Atrium Health in Winston-Salem tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee, with all services currently provided at no charge, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit, by appointment.
When a fee becomes the reason someone postpones treatment or skips a follow-up, the medical gap that opens can outlast the bill. At Atrium Health in Winston-Salem, every service (testing, treatment, counseling) carries no charge, so the visit that should happen actually does.
Atrium Health in Winston-Salem holds standing capacity to treat hepatitis C directly, not simply flag it. For someone without a primary care provider or paying out of pocket, that means the medication conversation happens here rather than requiring a specialist referral to access what the diagnosis already demands.
Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected because they weren't included in a basic panel means a second appointment, a second fee, and a window where liver disease progresses quietly. Atrium Health in Winston-Salem builds both into the same panel as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. One visit closes that gap.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Forsyth County, the county that includes Clemmons, compare with North Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#23 of 100 North Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 77% of the state
| Infection | Forsyth County | North Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 744.2 2,924 cases ▲ 22% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 335.4 1,318 cases ▲ 38% | 243.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 22.7 89 cases ▲ 14% | 19.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14.3 56 cases ▼ 9% | 15.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 25.2 99 cases ▲ 5% | 24 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Forsyth County, chlamydia has fallen from 769 to 744.2 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 398.1 to 335.4 per 100,000 (16%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10.2 to 22.7 per 100,000 (123%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Forsyth County.
Local HIV snapshot
Forsyth County HIV care continuum (2023)
Forsyth County recorded 20.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Forsyth County residents living with HIV, 81.4% are in care · 71.2% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Forsyth County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Clemmons runs on a schedule that leaves little room for midday errands, with nearly two-thirds of residents in the labor force and a culture built around established households, the window for a routine health appointment is narrow by default. That reality makes the range of testing options along Lewisville Clemmons Road and US 158 more practically useful than it might first appear: some are reachable before or after a commute, without sacrificing a lunch break that was probably already spoken for. The town's dominant tenure pattern tells its own story. Nearly three-quarters of residents own their homes, and the majority of households are married with family members sharing that space. Meaning health decisions often involve coordinating around multiple people's schedules, not just one.
The roughly one-in-four households that rent, at a monthly cost well under a thousand dollars, tend to skew younger, and it's that younger crowd, people in their late teens and twenties still building relationships and routines, for whom consistent, easy-to-reach screening matters most. Forsyth County's STI picture makes that case clearly enough on its own. Getting tested here means a car trip, not a walk from Peppertree or Sunny Brook Village. But with the listed options, the real question is which one fits the drive home from Broyhill Office Suites on a Thursday, and that answer exists somewhere on this page.
Getting there
At 6.51/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Clemmons generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on North Carolina law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In North Carolina, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
North Carolina permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
