Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Auburn Hills, MI. The nearest, Honor Community Health, is about 1.3 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
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.

Honor Community Health in Pontiac tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, and treats confirmed bacterial infections at the same appointment. Fees run on a sliding scale with Medicaid and insurance accepted; donations cover what remains. An appointment is required.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Honor runs herpes testing as part of its regular STI workup. Meaning the clinician orders and interprets that result in-house rather than treating it as a separate referral pathway. One appointment covers the fuller picture.
Honor Community Health employs substance-use treatment providers within the same clinical structure as its STI program, so a patient can be assessed, prescribed, and monitored for both conditions by coordinated staff during connected visits. The two care tracks share a chart, not just a building.

Joslyn Smile Center in Pontiac was built for people without coverage, between providers, or paying out of pocket: its federal health center standing means STI screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia runs on a sliding-scale fee tied to what each patient actually earns.

Crossroads Care Center in Auburn Hills runs entirely on donations and charges nothing for any service: testing, treatment, or education. Appointments are required, and a single visit covers gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and HPV and hepatitis vaccines available.
For anyone managing care without insurance or paying entirely out of pocket, Crossroads charges nothing. Not for the test, not for treatment, not for counseling. Donation-funded and free by design, it's the clinic for someone whose budget can't absorb a co-pay or a lab bill at any stage of care.
Spanish speakers who need to discuss symptoms, treatment options, or prevention strategies directly, without filtering through a second party, get that at Crossroads. For someone whose primary language is Spanish and who wants to reason through their care in full, the staff delivers the conversation natively.
For anyone who wants herpes screening alongside the core bacterial and viral workup, Crossroads tests for it in the same appointment. That matters most for someone without a regular provider who needs a genuinely complete picture: gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, HIV, and herpes, all at no cost.

The Wellness Plan Medical Centers in Pontiac runs on a sliding-scale fee structure open to everyone, with insurance also accepted; the full panel covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and PrEP and PEP on offer.
The Wellness Plan runs bloodwork for herpes and all three hepatitis strains alongside the core bacterial panel. That broader scope means a single appointment surfaces infections that a narrower panel would simply miss, rather than sending a patient elsewhere for follow-up testing.
Hepatitis C treatment is delivered on-site at The Wellness Plan, not handed off after a positive antibody result. That continuity keeps a patient's care coordinated under the same providers who ran the initial test, shortening the path from diagnosis to a cleared infection.
Many STI clinics test and treat but stop short of prescribing HIV-prevention medication. The Wellness Plan both initiates PrEP for ongoing prevention and manages PEP, so the full range of pharmaceutical HIV-prevention tools is available from the same clinical team handling the rest of a patient's sexual-health care.

Oakland County Health Division in Pontiac tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis A and C on a sliding-scale fee, with walk-ins welcome. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, and interpretation services support care in multiple languages.
When language access stops at the front desk, the clinical conversation (risk counseling, medication instructions, follow-up planning) falls apart. At Oakland County Health Division, interpretation services extend through the full visit, so nothing critical gets lost between a provider's question and a patient's answer.
Oakland County Health Division prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from the same clinical team, which means ongoing prevention conversations stay with a provider who already knows the patient's history rather than starting over elsewhere.
Many clinics run the hepatitis C antibody and hand the result off, leaving patients to navigate specialist referrals on their own. Oakland County Health Division carries treatment on-site, so a confirmed hep C diagnosis moves directly into a management plan without an outside handoff.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Oakland County, the county that includes Auburn Hills, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~36% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#19 of 83 Michigan counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 77% of the state
| Infection | Oakland County | Michigan | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 296.4 3,766 cases ▼ 31% | 429.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 103.2 1,311 cases ▼ 32% | 152.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 6.7 85 cases ▼ 20% | 8.4 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.7 98 cases ▼ 11% | 8.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8.3 106 cases ▼ 36% | 13 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Oakland County, chlamydia has fallen from 308.7 to 296.4 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 134.4 to 103.2 per 100,000 (23%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6 to 6.7 per 100,000 (12%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Oakland County.
Local HIV snapshot
Oakland County HIV care continuum (2023)
Oakland County recorded 5.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Oakland County residents living with HIV, 83.8% are in care · 75.6% 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 Oakland County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Hunters Creek sits close enough to North Perry Street that residents can reach most daily errands by car in minutes, yet the rhythm of life here still runs on tight budgets and packed schedules. With most households renting rather than owning, and typical monthly rent claiming a meaningful share of take-home pay, discretionary spending gets squeezed in ways that can quietly push a routine health appointment to the back of the list. Add an unemployment rate that leaves a noticeable slice of working-age adults between jobs, and the cost of a clinic visit starts to feel like a real calculation rather than an afterthought.
That calculation matters most for Auburn Hills' large share of young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI transmission peaks and when a positive result caught early is still straightforwardly treatable. Nearly three in ten households here do clear the six-figure income threshold, but the majority of residents are working closer to the margins, balancing rent, household size averaging just over three people, and a workforce participation rate that reflects how many adults here are actively managing competing demands on their time.
Getting there
At 7.32/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Auburn Hills generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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