A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

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.
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.
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.

Great Lakes Bay Health Centers in Owosso covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with appointments required and care available in Spanish.
Without care in Spanish at Great Lakes Bay Health Centers, a patient navigating treatment decisions in a second language risks misunderstood dosing, missed follow-up, and an infection that lingers. Spanish-language services here mean those conversations (about results, treatment plans, and prevention) happen without that gap.
Many clinics test for hepatitis C and leave patients to find a specialist for what comes next. Great Lakes Bay Health Centers in Owosso treats it on-site, meaning a confirmed diagnosis leads directly to a treatment plan without the handoff to a separate provider.
Great Lakes Bay Health Centers carries substance-use treatment alongside its STI services, a combination that directly serves anyone whose medical care has been fragmented across providers. Addressing both conditions in one place means neither gets sidelined while managing the other.

That legal framework, not clinic policy, is what separates confidentiality here from a courtesy that could be revised.

Sunshine Family Care Clinic in Flint provides HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing at no fee, with walk-ins welcome. Bacterial STIs are treated same visit; Medicaid and insurance are accepted.
The no-fee structure at Sunshine Family Care Clinic covers the entire test menu (HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes) along with the mpox vaccine and the HPV and hepatitis B vaccine series. There is no partial coverage or fee tier based on which test you need.
Many testing sites hand off a positive HIV result to a separate care network, leaving patients to navigate the handoff alone. Sunshine Family Care Clinic is a Ryan White-funded site, which means HIV medical treatment, medication adherence counseling, and ongoing care are all delivered directly at the clinic. The diagnosis and what follows it stay in one place.
Without on-site PrEP and PEP access, a prevention conversation at one clinic typically ends with a referral to a prescriber elsewhere, and that gap is where continuity breaks. Sunshine Family Care Clinic prescribes both directly, so the window between identifying prevention need and starting a regimen doesn't stretch across multiple appointments.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Shiawassee County, the county that includes Durand, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#53 of 83 Michigan counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 36% of the state

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 Shiawassee County, chlamydia has fallen from 248.2 to 163.2 per 100,000 (34%), gonorrhea has fallen from 83.7 to 27.9 per 100,000 (67%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 8.8 to 4.4 per 100,000 (50%).

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 Shiawassee County.
Local HIV snapshot
Shiawassee County HIV care continuum (2020)
Shiawassee County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Shiawassee County residents living with HIV, 83% are in care · 74.5% 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 Shiawassee County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Durand's working life moves with the seasons and shifts of small manufacturing, agriculture, and service jobs that keep folks on predictable schedules. The kind of rhythm where health decisions can fit between paychecks and shifts. That steady beat is part of why confidential STI screening belongs in the conversation here. Young adults make up a genuine presence in town, and many households are single adults or non-family groups where medical privacy isn't negotiable; testing in and around Durand listed on this page reflects that reality, meeting people where they actually are rather than where someone imagines they ought to be. Cost matters in a place where wages are modest and budgets are tight.
STI screening clinics in the area understand this and offer services designed to fit without strain (some free, some sliding-scale) because affordability shouldn't mean going without. The confidentiality you receive isn't advertised as a feature; it's the standard, built into how these places work. Spaces like Trumble Park and Lions Park anchor community life, but so do the clinics and health centers where you can walk in, get tested, and leave with answers on your own terms. Results stay yours, and the process is straightforward.
Getting there
At 5.63/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Durand 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.
