No ratings yet

Alcona Health Center in Harrisville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees rounding out coverage for everyone else: the clinic tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with no appointment needed and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested on the Same Visit

Alcona runs hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel, which means a single visit produces a complete liver-disease picture. Useful when hepatitis exposure and STI risk overlap, as they often do.

Substance-Use Treatment Lives in the Same Building

Alcona offers substance-use treatment at the same center as its STI services, so a patient managing both concerns works with one coordinated care team rather than splitting time and history across separate providers.

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.

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.
