Ruth Ellis Center in Highland Park runs every service at no charge: HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia testing alongside PrEP, HPV and hepatitis vaccines, and same-visit bacterial treatment. An appointment is required.
Every visit at Ruth Ellis Center (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP prescriptions, harm reduction) is provided without a fee, and that's operationally supported: clinicians are on staff to prescribe and monitor, medications are dispensed on-site, and the harm reduction program is run by trained staff rather than a handout.
Without Ryan White-funded care, a positive HIV test often ends with a referral and weeks before ongoing management begins. During which monitoring lapses and treatment costs accumulate. At Ruth Ellis Center, that gap doesn't open: funding covers the continuum from rapid testing through sustained HIV care for people who qualify.
Ruth Ellis Center holds the standing clinical capacity to prescribe, monitor, and refill PrEP. Making it a practical option for anyone who needs the medication but doesn't have an established primary care relationship or coverage to navigate elsewhere. PEP is also available for prevention.

The Wellness Plan Medical Centers, a Detroit-based medical practice, folds STI testing and treatment into ongoing primary care: covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required. PrEP and PEP are both available.
Prevention medication often lives at a separate prescriber, a gap that adds time and coordination most people don't have. The Wellness Plan Medical Centers closes that gap directly: both PrEP and PEP are prescribed on-site, in the same practice where testing and treatment already happen.
The Wellness Plan Medical Centers provides on-site hepatitis C treatment, meaning the direct-acting antivirals and the monitoring that follows a positive antibody result are managed within the same practice, not handed off elsewhere. Diagnosis and the full treatment course stay in one place.
The testing panel at The Wellness Plan Medical Centers is structured to catch infections that a four-pathogen screen misses: herpes simplex, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are all included alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, giving a single appointment broader diagnostic coverage than a stripped-down STI visit would.

| Gonorrhea | 7 days after exposure | 14 days after exposure |
| Trichomoniasis | 7 days after exposure | 28 days after exposure |
| HIV (NAT / RNA) | 10 days after exposure | 33 days after exposure |

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wayne County, the county that includes Hamtramck, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% 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
Hamtramck Disneyland sits at the edge of a block that feels, at first glance, like it has always been there, all folk-art towers and quiet certainty. The city underneath that image is working through something more pressured: unemployment running well above the national norm, a labor-force participation rate that suggests many residents are outside conventional nine-to-five schedules altogether, and average households large enough that a single income rarely stretches far. With barely one in fifteen households clearing six figures and typical rents that stay low partly because home values in this square mile are among the most modest in Wayne County, the cost of any out-of-pocket medical visit lands differently here than it does a few exits up I-75.
Those realities matter most for the large share of residents in their late teens and twenties, the segment of any city where STI transmission is most concentrated and where irregular work schedules can turn a routine screening into something that keeps getting moved. Banglatown and Buffalo Charles are dense, close-together neighborhoods where many households include extended family, and where awareness of available options does not always travel as fast as it should.
Getting there
Hamtramck scores 12.97/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
