Capital Internal Medicine Associates in Lansing tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit on a sliding-scale fee. Insurance and Medicaid accepted. Appointments are required.
Coordinating PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP across separate providers costs time, follow-up appointments, and continuity. Gaps where prevention simply doesn't happen. Capital Internal Medicine Associates prescribes all three under one clinical relationship, so nothing falls through while waiting on a handoff.
Capital Internal Medicine Associates tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C in addition to the standard four, which means conditions that often go undetected because they weren't ordered get caught at the same visit, and can be managed rather than discovered later by chance.

University of Michigan Health in East Lansing runs a panel covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee with insurance and Medicaid accepted; bacterial infections are treated same visit, and appointments are required.
Chasing PrEP or PEP through a separate prescriber adds delay, sometimes days, and a second co-pay. University of Michigan Health in East Lansing holds both prescriptions in-house, so the gap between a testing visit and a prevention regimen collapses to a single appointment.
The lab work here runs herpes typing and hepatitis A, B, and C antibody tests concurrently with the standard bacterial and HIV screens: ordered, drawn, and processed through University of Michigan Health's own system in East Lansing rather than parceled out to outside labs, keeping follow-up care coordinated in one clinical record.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Ingham County, the county that includes Dansville, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#9 of 83 Michigan counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 89% of the state
| Infection | Ingham County | Michigan | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 535.4 1,524 cases ▲ 25% | 429.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 218.5 622 cases ▲ 44% | 152.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 11.9 34 cases ▲ 42% | 8.4 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 12.6 36 cases ▲ 45% | 8.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.9 31 cases ▼ 16% | 13 | 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 Ingham County, chlamydia has fallen from 585.1 to 535.4 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 322.2 to 218.5 per 100,000 (32%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 11.6 to 11.9 per 100,000 (3%).

Local HIV snapshot
Ingham County HIV care continuum (2023)
Ingham County recorded 11 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Ingham County residents living with HIV, 87.4% are in care · 78.7% 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 Ingham County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
M-36 threads through Dansville as both its main artery and its defining texture: modest home values, a strong ownership culture, and households that run larger than the state average. Most adults here are working, most are married, and most own the houses they live in. That stability shapes daily life in ways that don't always make routine healthcare easier: full households, two-earner schedules, and a workforce participation rate that leaves few gaps in the week for appointments that feel optional. That last word is key.
For young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI transmission runs highest, "optional" is exactly how screening tends to get categorized until something changes that calculation. With a meaningful share of Dansville's residents falling into those years, low-barrier access matters more than it might appear in a place that otherwise reads as settled and stable. The options listed on this page serve this community whether someone is picking up coverage through an employer or managing costs independently on a rent check that stretches a real budget.
Getting there
At 3.95/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Dansville generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
