Three Prevention Medications, One Prescribing Clinic
HelloMed prescribes and monitors PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP. The doxycycline regimen taken after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STI risk. Each requires its own dosing schedule and follow-up labs, all handled by the same clinical team.
Herpes and Hepatitis Added to the Standard Panel
HelloMed's standing panel extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C. Coverage that serves anyone without a primary care provider who needs a complete picture rather than a partial one. Cash-pay patients and those managing their own care get every result in one visit rather than piecing together labs across multiple offices.

Language Access Is Built Into Every Appointment
Without on-site interpretation, a non-English speaker often leaves an STI appointment having understood a fraction of their results, and acts on even less. At Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Ann Arbor, interpretation services are available across appointments, so treatment decisions, prescription instructions, and prevention counseling land clearly the first time.
Confidential Minor Care Is Explicitly on the Menu
Many clinics quietly sidestep the question of whether a minor can be seen without a parent's involvement. Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Ann Arbor holds Title X designation, which legally protects the confidentiality of family planning services for minors. A defined right, not a case-by-case accommodation.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Ann Arbor prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly: meaning the HIV-prevention medication, the baseline labs, and the ongoing monitoring stay within the same practice rather than splitting across providers, which keeps adherence support continuous.

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.

Among Washtenaw County residents living with HIV, 82.4% are in care · 74.7% are virally suppressed.

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.
Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Washtenaw County tests for syphilis.

Dexter draws young adults who stay: folks who buy a house near family, who raise kids in the same neighborhood where they grew up, who work steadily and build lives that span decades. That stability, though, can make a health concern feel more exposed. Confidentiality in a town where you might run into your doctor's receptionist at the grocery store isn't abstract; it's a real consideration that shapes how and where people seek testing. The clinics and providers listed on this page serve Dexter with that understanding. Whether you're screening as part of routine care, following up after a partner's diagnosis, or checking in after unprotected contact, testing happens in settings designed to keep your visit and results truly private.
Not as a policy gesture, but as a basic condition of how these services work in a close-knit community. Testing in and around Dexter is straightforward and accessible, with no waiting periods or unnecessary questions. Young adults here (whether they're newly partnered, navigating changing relationships, or simply being responsible) can get screened confidentially and move forward with clarity. That matters when you're building the kind of life Dexter residents tend to keep.

Confidentiality & consent in MichiganMinor 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.
