Corewell Health in Dearborn tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and HIV on a fee-based, insurance-accepted model. Appointments are required, same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, and the full panel pairs with on-site care for what it finds.
Corewell Health tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the bacterial STIs and HIV. That breadth means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unaddressed until symptoms force a second visit somewhere else.
Corewell Health carries hepatitis C treatment as a standing service, meaning a reactive test does not end the clinical encounter, it continues it. Managing the infection within the same system keeps monitoring, dosing adjustments, and follow-up within one coordinated record.
Leaving a clinic with only a test result and no path to prevention medication is a gap that compounds over time, each month without PrEP is unprotected exposure for someone who qualifies. Corewell Health in Dearborn prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, so prevention doesn't depend on a separate provider willing to take it on.

American Indian Health and Family Services in Detroit tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance; appointments are required, and bacterial infections diagnosed on-site are treated the same visit.
Many clinics treat language access as an afterthought, a service bolted on after intake rather than embedded in care itself. At American Indian Health and Family Services, interpretation is part of the appointment structure, so nuanced clinical conversations about symptoms, treatment plans, and follow-up happen in the language the patient actually uses.
American Indian Health and Family Services prescribes PrEP, including the renal-monitored regimens that require ongoing lab work, as a standing clinical service. That means the HIV testing, kidney function panels, and prescription renewals that keep PrEP safe and effective are all handled within the same appointment cadence, not distributed across separate providers.
Without hepatitis C screening at the point of STI care, a positive result means a separate appointment, a separate provider, and weeks of delay before treatment begins. American Indian Health and Family Services adds hepatitis C to its panel directly, so a chronic coinfection doesn't survive on the margin between what was tested and what was deferred.

Detroit Community Health Connection is a community health center in Detroit running on a sliding-scale fee with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, TB, and hepatitis, with same-visit bacterial treatment and no appointment needed, with care available in Spanish.
Plenty of STI clinics run a standard four-infection sweep and leave hepatitis to a specialist referral. Detroit Community Health Connection tests hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core panel, and backs that with hepatitis A and B vaccines and hepatitis prevention counseling, all at the same address.
Detroit Community Health Connection prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means prevention isn't a separate errand. Staying current with PrEP or addressing a time-sensitive PEP need happens within the same clinical relationship that handles your testing.
Many clinics handle Spanish through workarounds that keep the provider and patient one step removed from each other. At Detroit Community Health Connection, Spanish-language care is embedded in the clinic itself. The conversation about your health happens directly, not across a relay.

Henry Ford-GoHealth Urgent Care in Dearborn Heights handles STI testing and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid and most insurance, with no appointment required to be seen.
Walk-in STI care often leaves non-English speakers navigating clinical conversations without real support. Henry Ford-GoHealth brings live interpretation services directly into the care encounter, so the exchange between patient and provider carries the same weight regardless of what language you speak.
Many urgent-care STI panels stop at HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Gaps that leave herpes and hepatitis unexamined. Henry Ford-GoHealth in Dearborn Heights tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the core panel, plus TB, giving a fuller picture in a single visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wayne County, the county that includes Dearborn, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 83 Michigan counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Wayne County | Michigan | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 791 13,851 cases ▲ 84% | 429.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 337.1 5,903 cases ▲ 121% | 152.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16.3 286 cases ▲ 94% | 8.4 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 20.4 357 cases ▲ 134% | 8.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 31 543 cases ▲ 138% | 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 Wayne County, chlamydia has risen from 771.4 to 791 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 491.8 to 337.1 per 100,000 (31%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 21 to 16.3 per 100,000 (22%).

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 Wayne County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Wayne County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Wayne County HIV care continuum (2023)
Wayne County recorded 20.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Wayne County residents living with HIV, 87.1% know their status · 80.4% are in care · 69.5% 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 Wayne County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Michigan Avenue cuts through the heart of Dearborn's East Dearborn Downtown corridor, where home values stay modest enough that two-thirds of residents have managed to buy rather than rent, and monthly rents for those who haven't hover just above a thousand dollars. That cost profile matters for health decisions: when a household budget is stretched across a family of nearly four people on average, a screening visit that feels inconvenient or expensive is one that quietly gets skipped. With more than half of married adults anchoring those larger households, scheduling anything outside work and family commitments takes genuine planning.
A workforce participation rate that leaves a meaningful share of adults outside the traditional nine-to-five structure means the people most likely to need routine STI screening, young adults in their late teens and twenties still building relationships and establishing care habits, aren't all operating on a predictable schedule. The options listed on this page span a range of hours and fee structures, so someone coming off a shift or juggling childcare near Springwells Park or Snow Woods can find an appointment that doesn't require burning a personal day.

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.
