Henry Ford-GoHealth Urgent Care in Chesterfield accepts Medicaid and most insurance for STI care, with standard fees applying; the clinic tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: no appointment needed, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and interpretation services on-site.
Walk-in STI clinics often cap their testing at the four bacterial and viral basics, leaving herpes and hepatitis as a separate errand. Henry Ford-GoHealth Urgent Care in Chesterfield runs the full extended panel (herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) in the same visit, closing the gap before it becomes one.
Without interpretation support at the point of care, a missed nuance in a diagnosis conversation can mean an untreated infection or a follow-up that never happens. Henry Ford-GoHealth Urgent Care in Chesterfield keeps interpretation services available directly within the visit, so nothing critical gets lost between question and answer.

Macomb County Health Department in Mount Clemens tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, rapid and conventional, with STI and HIV tests free and the full panel on a sliding scale. Appointments are required; bacterial STIs are treated same visit.
When cost stands between someone and follow-through (a second visit that never happens, a treatment course that gets deferred) the gap turns into an untreated infection. Macomb County Health Department charges nothing for any service it provides, so that gap doesn't open in the first place.
Many clinics document a language need and leave patients to navigate the rest on their own. Macomb County Health Department has interpretation services available for non-English languages built into the care itself, so the clinical conversation happens without a gap between what's said and what's understood.
Without Title X, a minor needing family planning or STI care often faces disclosure to a guardian as the price of getting it, which means some never seek care at all. As a Title X clinic, Macomb County Health Department provides legally confidential services to minors, so age alone doesn't become a reason to go untreated.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Macomb County, the county that includes Richmond, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#11 of 83 Michigan counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | Macomb County | Michigan | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 362.7 3,174 cases ▼ 16% | 429.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 121.9 1,067 cases ▼ 20% | 152.2 | 179.5 |

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 Macomb County, chlamydia has risen from 345.4 to 362.7 per 100,000 (5%), gonorrhea has fallen from 163.5 to 121.9 per 100,000 (25%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 9.2 to 8.7 per 100,000 (5%).

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 Macomb County.
Local HIV snapshot
Macomb County HIV care continuum (2023)
Macomb County recorded 7.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Macomb County residents living with HIV, 82.4% are in care · 74.2% 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 Macomb County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Many people arrive in Richmond because family already lives here: a parent's house on one of the tree-lined blocks near Beebe Street Park, or a grandparent's place they're helping to maintain. Once settled, young adults often stay, buying their own homes and raising children in the same neighborhoods where they grew up. That stability is one of Richmond's strengths, but it also means that privacy around health decisions carries real weight in a town where people recognize faces at the grocery store and know which house belongs to whom. STI testing in and around Richmond is available through clinics and providers listed on this page, all offering confidential screening without the anxiety of running into someone you know in the waiting room.
The testing process itself is straightforward and quick: appointments can often be scheduled same-week, and results are kept between you and your healthcare provider. Most facilities handle routine screenings for sexually active adults as a normal part of preventive care, no different than any other health check. If you're in your twenties or thirties and sexually active, screening every year or after a new partner is standard medical guidance. Richmond's healthcare network makes it simple to get tested discreetly while staying rooted in the community you call home.

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.
