Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Lansing provides STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments are required; interpretation services are available for non-English speakers.

Read full overview

Interpretation Services Woven Into Every Appointment

Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Lansing makes interpretation services available across all appointments, which means test results, treatment plans, and prevention conversations can happen in the language a person uses to make decisions about their health. Without routing any part of that exchange through a secondary process.

Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality

As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Lansing provides family planning services to minors with legally-confidential protections, meaning a young person can access STI testing, contraception, and related care without parental disclosure. A statutory guarantee, not a policy preference.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site, No Outside Referral

For anyone without a regular provider or navigating HIV prevention on a cash-pay basis, Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Lansing prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly: meaning the prescription, the follow-up labs, and the clinical oversight all stay in one place on the sliding-scale fee structure.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 from 19 reviews

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.

Read full overview

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.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Core Four

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.

Ingham Community Health Centers in Lansing tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, by appointment, with interpretation services available.

Interpretation Services Built Into Every Appointment

Walk-in STI clinics routinely leave non-English speakers to piece together care on their own. At Ingham Community Health Centers, interpretation services are part of the appointment itself: meaning clinical conversations about symptoms, test results, and treatment plans happen in the language the patient actually uses.

Ryan White Funds the Full Arc of HIV Care

Ryan White funding at Ingham means a provider can prescribe antiretrovirals, monitor viral load, and manage long-term HIV treatment on-site: not as a referral destination, but as a continuous clinical relationship where lab work and medication adjustments happen in the same building.

Ingham prescribes both PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention and PEP for post-exposure situations, which means a patient can establish a prevention plan, and keep it current, without splitting care across separate providers.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Without a Second Stop

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.

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 Ingham County residents living with HIV, 87.4% are in care · 78.7% are virally suppressed.

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 Ingham County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About East Lansing, MI

Brody Neighborhood hums year-round with the particular rhythm of a college town: leases turning over every August, new roommates splitting a rent check, and a social life that moves fast. That constant churn shapes how East Lansing thinks about health care, including sexual health. With nearly two-thirds of residents renting rather than owning, and the vast majority of households not married couples, the population here skews heavily toward young adults still in the relationship-forming years, precisely the life stage when routine STI screening matters most. Keeping that screening accessible, meaning affordable and schedulable around part-time or irregular work, is especially relevant in a city where labor-force participation and household incomes tell a story of constrained budgets: a $952 monthly rent leaves little room for appointments that feel like a financial or logistical ordeal.

Ingham County's STI rate figures, visible in the table on this page, reflect a community where a large share of residents are at peak statistical risk, not because of any single behavior, but simply because of age and the social patterns that accompany it. When more than one in five households clears six figures but the majority do not, out-of-pocket testing costs land unevenly across the same zip code. If you are near Saints' Rest, pulling up this page's clinic list and booking the nearest available slot is the most direct next step.

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.
