Henry Ford-GoHealth Urgent Care in St. Clair Shores accepts Medicaid and most insurance for STI testing, with fees for those paying directly. Walk-ins are welcome for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Detroit Community Health Connection, a community health center in Detroit, takes walk-ins for STI testing covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language care on staff.
Spanish-language care at Detroit Community Health Connection isn't routed through a secondary step: the clinic staffs it directly into the clinical encounter, meaning prescriptions are written, treatment plans explained, and follow-up instructions given in Spanish by the providers doing the work.
Many testing-only sites hand off prevention prescribing elsewhere. Detroit Community Health Connection prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, meaning the same clinic that runs your panel can initiate and monitor a prevention regimen without sending you to a separate provider.
Beyond the core bacterial and HIV tests, Detroit Community Health Connection screens for hepatitis A, B, and C at the same visit: with hepatitis A and B vaccines also available on-site, so antibody status and vaccination can be assessed and acted on in a single appointment.

Whether you carry insurance or not, every test and every treatment at Macomb County Health Department costs nothing out of pocket. For someone without a regular provider, or anyone managing expenses tightly, that means gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia treatment are covered the same day, no bill waiting afterward.
Many clinics handle non-English speakers with a workaround that leaves the conversation thin. Macomb County Health Department has interpretation services woven directly into care, so counseling, test results, and prevention education land with full clarity rather than through a stripped-down exchange.
Without Title X coverage, a minor seeking STI care or family planning often faces a second appointment, a gap in treatment, or a bill routed to a parent's insurance. At Macomb County Health Department, Title X legally protects the confidentiality of those services for minors. Closing that gap at the first visit.

The Wellness Plan Medical Centers in Detroit requires appointments, so arriving with a confirmed slot means leaving with real answers: the full bacterial-and-viral panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee.
The Wellness Plan tests herpes and all three hepatitis strains alongside the bacterial core, meaning a single appointment yields serology on infections that a narrower panel simply doesn't capture. Skipping those tests doesn't mean the infections aren't there; it means they go undetected until symptoms force the issue.
Hepatitis C treatment at The Wellness Plan Medical Centers is delivered on-site, not handed off elsewhere. Curative direct-acting antivirals require ongoing monitoring through the treatment course, and having that managed within the same practice keeps the clinical relationship intact rather than fractured across separate providers.
Leaving a clinic with only a test result but no pathway to PrEP means rebuilding the conversation from scratch at another practice, repeating history, waiting for a new appointment, losing weeks. The Wellness Plan Medical Centers prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, with PrEP covered for uninsured patients, so prevention doesn't stall between diagnosis and access.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Macomb County, the county that includes St. Clair Shores, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% 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.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Gratiot Avenue puts most clinic options listed here within a reasonable drive, whether you're heading north toward Roseville or cutting south to connect with I-94, and that geography matters when a weekday appointment has to compete with a 64-percent labor-force participation rate and an unemployment picture that keeps household budgets tight. With roughly four in five residents owning their homes and a typical home value well below six figures, St. Clair Shores carries the financial profile of a community where discretionary spending gets weighed carefully, and a testing visit that costs little or nothing removes one real calculation from the equation.
The city's household structure adds another layer. Nearly half of adults are married, and average households run close to three people, meaning STI screening often sits inside a family context rather than a solo one. Partners getting tested together, or a younger adult in a multigenerational household looking for a straightforward option, both benefit from the twelve resources listed here spanning in and around St. Clair Shores and the neighboring communities of Eastpointe and Grosse Pointe Woods.
People in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates run highest, make up a meaningful share of Macomb County's caseload, and low-cost, low-hassle access along a familiar corridor like North Gratiot Avenue keeps screening a live option rather than a deferred one. For a largely owner-occupied, family-oriented city, that practicality fits the actual household texture here.

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.
