Family Health Centers in Saint George runs STI care through a family practice model: appointments required, but a single scheduled visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis C, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines available.

Hepatitis C Is Diagnosed and Managed Here

Without hepatitis C testing at the same site as the rest of your panel, a positive result elsewhere means restarting the process at a separate provider. Another appointment, another intake. Family Health Centers tests for hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so nothing falls through the gap between one clinic's scope and another's.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Dorchester County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in South Carolina

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In South Carolina, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
