Greer, serving residents of Greer who are between providers, paying cash, or working with a tight budget, earned its federally qualified designation by anchoring sliding-scale fees to income. Walk-in STI screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia means cost is rarely the reason someone skips care.

Blue Ridge Health in Lake Lure runs on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid and most insurers, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and STI counseling, by appointment, with care available in Spanish.
Stopping a hepatitis A, B, or C infection late, because the initial clinic only ran the basic four, means a second provider, a second bill, and time the infection was going unaddressed. Blue Ridge Health tests all three alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV in a single appointment, closing that gap entirely.
Blue Ridge Health carries active substance-use treatment as a standing service alongside its STI care: meaning someone managing both doesn't need to coordinate two separate providers, two separate schedules, or two separate bills. That combined capacity is built into what the clinic does, not arranged on request.
Many clinics handle Spanish-speaking patients through workarounds that slow the visit and flatten the conversation. Blue Ridge Health delivers care directly in Spanish, so medical history, test results, and treatment decisions move at full speed without anything filtered through a secondary channel.

Henderson County Department of Public Health in Hendersonville requires an appointment, and that single visit covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, HPV, hepatitis A, mpox, and adult hepatitis B vaccines. All at no charge.
HIV, hepatitis C, STI, and TB tests are each individually listed as free, and that zero-cost structure extends across vaccines, treatment, and counseling. The operational result: nothing on the service menu triggers a bill, a copay, or a balance: sliding scale applies to the fee schedule, and the fee schedule bottoms out at nothing.
Spanish-language care is available at Henderson County Department of Public Health, which means a patient can give a full symptom history, ask follow-up questions, and receive counseling in Spanish without pausing for outside help. A direct line into clinical decision-making from the first word.
The clinic runs herpes testing alongside hepatitis B and hepatitis C screening in addition to the core four, each drawn and processed through the department's own lab workflow. Hepatitis B vaccination is also on-site, so a reactive hepatitis B result can immediately inform a vaccination conversation for household contacts within the same visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Spartanburg County, the county that includes Landrum, compare with South Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#32 of 46 South Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 30% of the state
| Infection | Spartanburg County | South Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 496.5 1,771 cases ▼ 19% | 612.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 186.7 666 cases ▼ 16% | 222.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16 57 cases ▼ 8% | 17.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 12.9 46 cases ▼ 31% | 18.8 | 16 |

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 Spartanburg County, chlamydia has fallen from 602.7 to 496.5 per 100,000 (18%), gonorrhea has fallen from 313.7 to 186.7 per 100,000 (40%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 14.6 to 16 per 100,000 (10%).

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 Spartanburg 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.
Spartanburg County HIV care continuum (2023)
Spartanburg County recorded 15.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 18.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Spartanburg County residents living with HIV, 85.8% are in care · 74.3% 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 Spartanburg County tests for syphilis.

Local context
Getting tested for STIs in Landrum means being honest about distance. The town itself sits small and tight, and the nearest comprehensive testing isn't always a walk away. You may need to travel to neighboring communities or rely on clinics in and around Landrum listed on this page that serve the area.

Landrum's character (rooted, stable, the kind of place where people build lives) can sometimes make privacy feel like something you want to arrange deliberately rather than assume. The testing sites available in and around Landrum understand this. Results stay confidential, appointments are discreet, and no one connected to the community grapevine needs to know you went.
What matters most is that testing happens at all. Whether you're new to the area, in a relationship, or simply being thoughtful about your health, the clinics listed on this page offer straightforward access without the pressure to explain yourself. Landrum's affordability means cost doesn't have to be the reason you skip it.

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.
