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.
Tests offered
Fees & payment
ReGenesis Health Care in Spartanburg tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis A, B, and C, treating bacterial STIs at the same appointment. Fees run on a sliding scale, with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted. An appointment is required.
Leaving hepatitis off a standard panel means a second appointment, a second intake, and a second bill. Gaps where follow-up quietly dissolves. ReGenesis tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so the full picture comes from one visit rather than two.
When a patient can't communicate with precision about symptoms or history, the clinical conversation degrades, and so does the care that follows. ReGenesis Health Care delivers STI services in Spanish, so nothing that matters gets softened, skipped, or lost between a question and its answer.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Spartanburg County, the county that includes Lyman, compare with South Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~35% 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 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 2 7 cases ▼ 83% | 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 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.

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.

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.
