A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

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.
Testing here covers herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and viral panel, which means a single visit can surface infections that a narrower screen would leave undetected, keeping the picture complete rather than partial.
Interpretation services are available in-clinic for non-English languages, handled through staffed support rather than a remote workaround, so questions about symptoms, test results, or treatment instructions move through a real person present in the conversation.

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.

Corewell Health in Saint Clair tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit. Fees run on a sliding scale with Medicaid and insurance accepted. An appointment is required.
Corewell Health carries standing capacity to prescribe both PrEP and PEP, no outside physician needed. That matters most for someone without a regular primary care provider or paying cash who needs prevention medication managed in one place, with counseling built into the same appointment.
Corewell Health treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a reactive result moves directly toward a care plan rather than sitting in limbo. That continuity shortens the gap between knowing and clearing an infection.
Beyond the core bacterial and HIV tests, Corewell Health's panel includes both hepatitis B and hepatitis C antibody testing. Clinically, that means a single appointment generates results across two additional viral infections. Each with dedicated treatment pathways already staffed at the same location.

Authority Health in Detroit requires an appointment, so a single scheduled visit can cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and hepatitis and HPV vaccination available on-site.
Beyond the standard bacterial and HIV workup, Authority Health's panel runs blood and swab tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: each ordered, collected, and processed through the clinic's own lab workflow rather than parceled out separately. One appointment captures the full picture.
Authority Health integrates substance-use treatment into the same clinical setting as STI care, which means a provider addressing a gonorrhea or syphilis diagnosis can also initiate or coordinate addiction treatment. Reducing the gap between two conditions that frequently intersect.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wayne County, the county that includes Village of Grosse Pointe Shores, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~13% 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 |

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

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
Harper Avenue threads through Village Of Grosse Pointe Shores's quieter stretches, and for most residents a clinic visit means a deliberate drive rather than a quick errand. That reality sits alongside something worth noting: the town skews heavily toward homeowners, with renters making up a small slice of households, and those who do rent face monthly costs that leave little slack for discretionary health spending. The community is also notably partnered and family-oriented (nearly two-thirds of adults are married, and households tend to include multiple people) which shapes the conversations around sexual health here.
Yet younger adults in Village Of Grosse Pointe Shores, those in their late teens and twenties still navigating early relationships, represent the age range where STI transmission is most concentrated nationally, and Wayne County's own rate data reinforces why that window matters locally. Waiting on a test because the timing or cost isn't right is a real pattern in communities like this one, where a significant share of households sit well below the six-figure income threshold and unemployment isn't negligible. With the testing locations listed on this page, several reachable via Vernier Road, there are enough options to find one that fits around a work schedule or a pickup at Edsel and Eleanor Ford House Museum without a special trip.
Getting there
At 9.82/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Village of Grosse Pointe Shores generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
