Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

HopeHealth in Greeleyville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance, and every service carries no fee out of pocket. An appointment is required.
Cash-pay care, no regular provider, no insurance card in your wallet. HopeHealth is built to absorb those situations entirely. Treatment, vaccines, testing: the sliding scale reaches all the way to zero, and no service is excluded from that floor.
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are the floor at most STI clinics. Hepatitis C is where the panel typically stops expanding. At HopeHealth, hepatitis C testing is included alongside HIV, giving the full picture in a single appointment rather than requiring a separate clinical visit.

HopeHealth Williamsburg in Kingstree carries federally qualified health center standing, which translates directly into a sliding-scale fee structure tied to household income, so syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening costs adjust to what patients can actually pay, with no appointment needed to get started.

Fees & payment
South Carolina Department of Public Health in Manning tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee with no appointment required. Bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP are all prescribed here.
Chasing prevention medications across multiple providers means gaps: days without coverage, costs that compound, and windows that close. South Carolina Department of Public Health in Manning prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly, so the conversation that should end with a prescription actually does.
The clinic runs conventional HIV testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C. Drawn and processed through the public health department's own infrastructure. That means a single visit generates results across all five, with hepatitis A and B vaccines available to complete the picture.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Williamsburg County, the county that includes Greeleyville, compare with South Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#8 of 46 South Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 83% of the state
| Infection | Williamsburg County | South Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 980.2 293 cases ▲ 60% | 612.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 364.7 109 cases ▲ 64% | 222.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 10 3 cases ▼ 42% | 17.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 50.2 15 cases ▲ 167% | 18.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 3.3 1 cases ▼ 72% | 11.7 | 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 Williamsburg County, chlamydia has fallen from 992.7 to 980.2 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 486.7 to 364.7 per 100,000 (25%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 9.7 to 10 per 100,000 (3%).

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 Williamsburg County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: South Carolina is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Williamsburg County HIV care continuum (2023)
Williamsburg County recorded 38.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 18.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Williamsburg County residents living with HIV, 83.8% are in care · 62.5% 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 Williamsburg County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Society Hill Road's quiet runs east out of town, and US 521 stretches through Greeleyville with little between stoplights. A reminder that reaching any clinic listed on this page means committing to a real drive along C E Murray Boulevard or South Williamsburg County Highway before you hit anything resembling a testing site. That distance lands differently depending on where you stand in this town. With nearly three in ten residents in the young-adult years when STIs move fastest and often without symptoms, low-barrier access genuinely changes outcomes, and here, "low barrier" means accounting for gas, time, and a work schedule shaped by a labor-force participation rate that reflects how many households run on limited earning hours.
More than seven in ten residents own their homes, many of them long-settled families, yet the typical home value signals that discretionary income is tight across most of the zip code. Those two facts together (rooted community, constrained cash flow) mean that even modest clinic fees carry real weight. Renters here pay some of the lowest monthly costs in the state, which sounds like breathing room until you factor in that most higher-paying options stay well outside Williamsburg County. For a resident without employer-sponsored coverage, and that cohort runs broader than the uninsured figure alone captures, a sliding-scale or no-cost visit listed on this page is the only version that actually pencils out.
Getting there

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on South 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 South Carolina, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
South 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.
