South Carolina has some of the highest STD rates in the US, as does the Charlotte metropolitan area, which Rock Hill, though across the state border, is a part of. But what Rock Hill health experts are most concerned about is the fact that STD rates are rising among teens, even though teen pregnancy rates have gone down.
Health officials blame a lack of sex education, as many teens don’t know they can get STIs from oral sex. Also, many people from low-income families cannot afford regular health care and might not know how to find low-cost and free STD testing.
In 2017, there were 476 people living with HIV or AIDS in York County, with a prevalence rate of 184.1 per 100K people, less than half of the South Carolina rate of 396.1. The same year, 1,400 people in York County were diagnosed with chlamydia, at a rate of 541.5, compared with South Carolina’s rate of 629.4. The gonorrhea and syphilis cases were 160.1 and 11.6.
Rock Hill only has a few STD-testing clinics, but there are more options if you can get to Charlotte or the surrounding areas. First Care Medical Clinic, on Constitution Blvd, provides STD testing and HIV screening and treatment, with free transportation to anyone within a five-mile radius.
The York County Health Department provides confidential STI testing with rapid options available.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.

South Carolina’s population is largely made up of whites at 63.9% and African Americans at 27.4%. Despite the large number of whites in the state, the blacks rank higher when it comes to HIV diagnosis. The rate of African Americans living with diagnosed HIV is more than 6 times than the rate of the white community living with diagnosed HIV. More than 7 reported cases of newly diagnosed HIV occur among the black community. Among women, African Americans are reported to have been among 8-10 reported HIV infections.
More young people between 15-25 years are affected by STDs than the older population. Those affected are majorly African Americans. South Carolina has one of the highest infections rates when it comes to the young generation aged 15-19.
A report by CDC notes that 15-19 years old African American reported chlamydia cases 6 times than their white peers. Some of these stats are attributed to the poverty in the county. A comparison of the Latino and white communities indicates that the rate of Latino males living with diagnosed HIV is 2.1 times than that of their white counterparts. As for the females, the rate of the Latinos is higher than white females by 3.1.
