About 1 mile southwest of Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids: Planned Parenthood of Michigan requires an appointment but moves quickly through testing and same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, plus PrEP counseling and HPV vaccination—ideal for anyone seeking full sexual health care in one visit.

Read full overview

Book ahead for a streamlined visit

You'll need to schedule an appointment, but once you're in, a single visit covers testing, treatment if needed, and prevention planning. The clinic tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, and can treat bacterial infections on the spot. If you're interested in PrEP or the HPV vaccine, they handle both here.

Testing and treatment under one plan

Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are treated the same day if you test positive. HIV and herpes testing are available, though HIV results and follow-up care are managed through counseling and referral. The clinic also offers condom distribution and education on STI and HIV prevention.

Cost depends on your insurance or income

If you have Medicaid or Medicare, it's covered. Insurance plans are accepted. If you're paying out of pocket, expect a standard visit fee. Title X funding helps keep costs manageable for those without coverage.

Best for anyone with insurance or Title X eligibility

This clinic works well if you can plan ahead and have insurance or qualify for Title X assistance. It's a full-service stop for testing, treatment, PrEP, and vaccination—no need to bounce between providers.

Rated 3.1 out of 5 from 17 reviews

About 1 mile northwest of Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids: Trinity Health is a full-service sexual health clinic where you can get tested, treated, and started on prevention—all at one visit if needed. It's built for anyone seeking HIV, hepatitis, or STI care without the runaround.

Read full overview

Testing, treatment, and prevention in one place

Trinity Health screens for HIV (rapid and conventional tests), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, and TB. If you test positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis, you can start treatment the same visit. For HIV or hepatitis, treatment is managed on-site, though confirmation and ongoing care take time. You can also start PrEP here if you're at risk, or get HPV vaccination.

Prevention education woven into care

Beyond testing and treatment, the clinic offers counseling on HIV, STI, hepatitis, and TB prevention—not as a separate lecture, but as part of your visit. If you're considering PrEP or need help staying on medications, staff work through that with you.

Cost and insurance

Trinity Health accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. If you don't have coverage, expect a standard visit fee. Spanish interpretation is available.

You'll need an appointment

This clinic requires you to schedule ahead—no walk-ins. That means a short wait to get in, but also a reserved slot and less time sitting in the waiting room.

About 1 mile northeast of Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids: Kent County Health Department is a public health clinic offering free STI and HIV testing alongside treatment and prevention—ideal for anyone seeking no-cost screening and care without insurance barriers.

Read full overview

A public health clinic, free and straightforward

Kent County Health Department is a county health clinic where testing and care happen in one visit. You'll need an appointment, but once you're in, you can get screened, treated if needed, and connected to prevention—all without paying anything upfront. It's built for people who need reliable, affordable sexual health care.

Testing, treatment, and prevention in one place

The clinic screens for HIV (rapid or conventional test), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and TB. Bacterial infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea are treated on-site the same visit. HIV and hepatitis C treatment are managed here too. Beyond testing, you can get mpox and HPV vaccines, start PrEP if you're HIV-negative and at ongoing risk, or access PEP after a potential exposure. Condoms and prevention education are part of the visit.

Free testing; treatment and vaccines covered

All STI and HIV tests are free. Mpox vaccine is free. Other services—TB treatment, hepatitis C treatment, PrEP, and HPV vaccine—are available; ask about cost when you call to book. Interpretation services are available for non-English languages, and Spanish-language support is on staff.

Best for people without insurance or on a tight budget

If you're uninsured, paying out of pocket, or need care without navigating insurance, this is the right place. The appointment requirement means you won't wait in a long line, and the free testing removes the first barrier to knowing your status.

About 12 miles southwest of Grand Rapids in Hudsonville: Ottawa County Department of Public Health is a public health clinic offering free HIV, STI, and hepatitis testing alongside treatment and prevention services. It's ideal for anyone seeking affordable care without insurance, or those who need vaccines and ongoing prevention like PrEP.

Free testing, sliding-scale care

HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing are all free at Ottawa County Department of Public Health. If you need treatment or other services, a sliding scale applies; Medicaid and insurance are accepted, and uninsured patients can access PrEP at no cost.

Same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs

Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis can be treated on the same visit you're tested. Hepatitis C and TB treatment are also available, though those require follow-up care. The clinic distributes condoms and offers doxy-PEP, an antibiotic that prevents STI infection after potential exposure.

Local data

STDs & HIV in Kent County: the local picture

Here's how reported STI rates in Kent County — the county that includes Grand Rapids — compare with Michigan and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

An estimated ~37% of Kent County residents are aged 15–34 (ACS) — the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally, which is why local screening access matters here.

Lower chlamydia rate than 7% of the state's 83 counties (ranked #7)

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?

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 Kent County tests for syphilis.

Privacy

Confidentiality & consent in Michigan

The questions Grand Rapids residents ask most before testing, answered under Michigan law — which sets confidentiality and consent the same way statewide. Prefer to keep your name off the record? See our guide to anonymous STD testing.

Can a minor consent?

In Michigan, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own — no parental permission is required. A physician is permitted (but not required) to inform a parent.

Will it show on my insurance?

If you use health insurance, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may be mailed to the policyholder. Under HIPAA you can ask your insurer in writing to send communications confidentially. To keep a test fully private, choose a self-pay private lab, an at-home kit, or a public health clinic — none of these bill your insurance.

Anonymous & no-insurance options

Public health clinics and at-home kits let you test without involving insurance or your regular doctor. Many Michigan health departments offer free or low-cost STI testing, and several sites provide anonymous HIV testing.

Can my partner be treated too?

Yes. Michigan permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication to pass to your partner — no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
