Interpretation Services Extend Across Every Appointment

Interpretation services for non-English languages are available throughout care at Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Flint, not limited to intake or scheduling. That coverage means clinical conversations about results, treatment plans, and prevention options all happen with the same access, not a condensed version of them.

Title X Makes Minor Confidentiality Legally Guaranteed

As a Title X–funded site, Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Flint is bound by federal statute to provide confidential family planning services to minors. Independent of parental involvement. That legal framework, not clinic policy, is what separates confidentiality here from a courtesy that could be revised.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site Without a Separate Provider

For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or who'd rather keep HIV prevention care consolidated, Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Flint prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly. No outside referral is needed to start or continue either medication.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 5 reviews

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.

Every Test, Every Visit, Zero Fee

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.

Ryan White Funding Closes the HIV Care Gap Here

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.

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Separate Referral Chain

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.

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price

The no-fee structure at University of Michigan Medicine covers the full scope of what the clinic provides (testing, STI treatment, family planning, and HIV counseling) not a discounted tier or a capped program. Every billable line item is eliminated, for every patient.

Spanish-Language Care Reaches the Clinical Conversation

Spanish is a direct service language at University of Michigan Medicine in Mt Morris, which means the clinical conversation (symptom history, treatment instructions, counseling) happens in Spanish without mediation, reducing the margin for error in exactly the moments when precision matters.

Herpes Testing Sits Inside the Standard Panel

University of Michigan Medicine tests for herpes alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and TB. A named addition that matters because herpes status can influence both treatment decisions and the clinical picture for other infections on the same panel.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 305 reviews

Hamilton Community Health Network in Flint takes walk-ins for STI testing and treats bacterial infections the same day. The sliding-scale fee applies to everyone, and a single visit can cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis C, herpes, and conventional HIV testing alongside HPV and hepatitis vaccines.

Herpes and Hepatitis C Are on the Panel

Beyond the standard four, Hamilton tests for herpes and hepatitis C in the same visit, which means a positive hepatitis C result comes with an established care relationship already in place, rather than a name to look up later.

Substance-Use Treatment Is Staffed Here

Hamilton carries a licensed substance-use treatment program on the same campus as its STI services, meaning a clinician can prescribe and monitor medication-assisted treatment without a separate intake process or referral to an outside program.

STDs & HIV in Genesee County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Genesee County, the county that includes Flushing, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

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 Genesee County tests for syphilis.

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.
