University of Michigan's Ypsilanti clinic extends its academic medical infrastructure to STI care, running the full standard panel on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia; appointments are required, and Spanish plus interpretation services are available.

Read full overview

Spanish Spoken, Interpretation Ready Beyond That

Spanish is a direct clinical language here, with staff capacity built into appointments rather than patched in at the last moment. For languages beyond Spanish, interpretation services extend that same reach: meaning medical history, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling are conducted with linguistic precision regardless of what a patient speaks walking in.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Without a Separate Referral Chain

People without a regular primary care provider, or those paying out of pocket who need prevention medication managed in one place, can access both PrEP and PEP directly through University of Michigan's Ypsilanti clinic. Prescribing, counseling, and medication adherence education are handled at the same appointment, on a sliding-scale fee.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel

The testing panel here runs past gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV to include herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C: conditions that require different clinical follow-up and, in the case of hepatitis, dedicated monitoring or vaccination decisions. That breadth means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would simply miss.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 51 reviews

The Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit, with sliding-scale fees and appointments required. Every service is provided at no charge.

Read full overview

No Fee Across Every Service Offered

The Corner Health Center charges nothing for any of its services, which means the full visit (testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, vaccines, counseling) runs at no cost, and a patient can accept follow-up care without weighing what the next appointment will add up to.

Spanish-Speaking Staff Handle Care Directly

Spanish-language care at The Corner Health Center is staffed directly, so clinical conversations about test results, treatment instructions, and prevention options happen with the provider in Spanish. Not relayed through a secondary service or scheduled separately.

Substance-Use Treatment Runs Alongside STI Care

The Corner Health Center maintains an on-site substance-use treatment program, meaning a clinician can coordinate STI management and addiction treatment under the same case: shared records, aligned follow-up schedules, and no handoff to a separate facility.

Rated 3 out of 5 from 48 reviews

Trinity Health in Ypsilanti integrates STI care into a full-spectrum clinical system, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and more on a sliding-scale fee with appointments required, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections included, with interpretation services available for non-English speakers.

Read full overview

Interpretation Services Extend to Every Clinical Conversation

For patients navigating STI care, prevention, or PrEP counseling without English as their primary language, Trinity Health's interpretation services keep every clinical exchange (diagnosis, treatment, medication guidance) in reach. That standing capability means language isn't a barrier to the full scope of care the clinic provides.

PrEP Prescribing Is Built Into the Clinical Workflow

Trinity Health in Ypsilanti prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning tenofovir-based daily prevention and post-exposure medication are managed within the same clinical relationship that handles testing and treatment. Continuity of prescribing, not a handoff to another provider, is what separates ongoing HIV prevention from a single-visit conversation.

A typical STI clinic clears gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, and stops. Trinity Health extends the panel to herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C), alongside TB, giving patients a more complete picture of their status without needing a separate specialist visit to fill the gaps.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 43 reviews

Washtenaw County Health Department in Ypsilanti runs STI care through the infrastructure of a full public health department, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing on a sliding-scale basis, with walk-ins welcome and all services provided at no fee.

Read full overview

No Bill Waiting at the End

When cost stops someone from completing a course of STI care (skipping the follow-up, leaving a prescription unfilled, or sitting with an untreated bacterial infection) the damage compounds. At Washtenaw County Health Department, every service, from the initial test through treatment, carries no charge, so nothing gets left half-done.

Spanish Spoken Directly, Interpretation Ready Beyond That

Washtenaw County Health Department holds Spanish-language capacity directly and extends interpretation services across other languages as needed. That standing capability means a patient navigating PrEP dosing, a TB treatment protocol, or a partner notification conversation works through it in their own language without a workaround in the middle.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

The clinic prescribes and monitors daily oral PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, to reduce gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis risk. Each protocol involves on-site follow-up and medication adherence counseling rather than a handoff elsewhere.

How reported STI rates in Washtenaw County, the county that includes Ypsilanti, compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~52% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Washtenaw County recorded 5.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washtenaw County residents living with HIV, 82.4% are in care · 74.7% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Washtenaw County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Ypsilanti, MI

Depot Town's mix of long-tenured residents and rotating student households tells you something important about Ypsilanti before you look at a single health statistic: most people here rent, relatively few households are married couples, and the average home holds more than three people. That kind of shared, transitional living, especially concentrated around the Eastern Michigan University Historic District and spilling into neighborhoods like Riverside and Historic Southside, means sexual health decisions are being made by a population that is overwhelmingly young, often in new or overlapping relationships, and moving through the city on a tight budget. When rent consumes a significant portion of take-home pay and fewer than one in six households clears six figures, an out-of-pocket clinic bill can be the thing that delays a test by weeks.

Washtenaw County's STI rates are already visible elsewhere on this page, but the local shape of the problem is worth naming plainly: Ypsilanti skews decisively toward the years when chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are most commonly transmitted, and the city's renters, students, and younger adults in their late teens and twenties are exactly the people who benefit most from options that don't require much planning. Nearly three in ten people in the labor force are currently between jobs or underemployed, and those who are working often hold schedules that don't flex easily.

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.
