Rated 3 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Shiawassee County Health Department in Corunna tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee structure, with the HIV rapid test offered free; the full panel, STI treatment, and vaccines are available by appointment at no cost to eligible patients.

Read full overview Show less

Every Appointment Runs on a Zero-Fee Structure

The Health Department absorbs the cost of its entire service menu (testing, treatment, and vaccines) so that each appointment closes without a balance. That structure applies uniformly: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, TB testing, mpox and HPV vaccination, and STI treatment all operate under the same no-fee policy.

Interpretation Services Extend to Every Appointment

Shiawassee County Health Department makes interpretation services available for non-English languages across its appointment-based care, meaning the clinical conversation (exposure history, test results, treatment instructions) is conducted directly, not summarized afterward. That access applies to the same full panel of testing and treatment as any other visit.

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.

Confidentiality & consent in Michigan

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

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Michigan, 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)

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.
