A clinic built for sexual health, not just testing
Planned Parenthood of Michigan in Kalamazoo treats STI testing and prevention as part of a single conversation. You'll screen for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, and if you test positive for a bacterial infection, treatment happens the same visit. Beyond testing, the clinic prescribes PrEP for HIV prevention and offers HPV vaccination, condom distribution, and counseling on prevention—all designed to fit into one appointment.
Testing and treatment without delay
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis can be treated on site the day you test positive. HIV testing includes counseling to help you understand your results and next steps. If you're at risk for HIV exposure, PrEP is available to take preventively; post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is also offered for urgent situations. HPV vaccination rounds out your prevention toolkit.
Sliding-scale fees that match your situation
There is a fee for visits, but it slides based on income—Medicaid and insurance are accepted, and uninsured patients pay on a scale that reflects what they can afford. Title X funding keeps costs low across the board, so cost alone shouldn't keep you away.
Appointment-based, with language access built in
You'll need to book an appointment ahead of time. Interpretation services are available for non-English languages, and American Sign Language interpretation is offered, so language isn't a barrier to care.

Appointment-based testing and same-visit treatment
You'll need to schedule ahead at Western Michigan University School of Medicine, but that structure means you're seen by medical staff trained to handle complex cases. A single visit covers testing for HIV (rapid or conventional), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, and TB, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial STIs and hepatitis C, plus counseling on results and next steps.
HIV care, PrEP, and prevention education built in

The clinic also prescribes PrEP for HIV prevention and distributes condoms; staff provide education on TB, STI, HIV, and hepatitis prevention tailored to your situation. HPV and hepatitis A vaccines are available.
Insurance and Medicaid cover most costs

Same-visit treatment for bacterial infections

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.

Kalamazoo County HIV care continuum (2023)
Kalamazoo County recorded 11.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally.
Among Kalamazoo County residents living with HIV, 75.8% are in care · 68.8% 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 the county health department.
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 Kalamazoo County tests for syphilis.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a Oshtemo-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving Oshtemo often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits
bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full
guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment
Testing is one step. For residents of Oshtemo, telehealth covers the rest of the picture — HIV-prevention
medication (PrEP) and DoxyPEP to lower future risk, and discreet online treatment if a result comes back
positive. All prescribed by licensed U.S. clinicians.
Prevent (PrEP & DoxyPEP)
Daily or on-demand medication that prevents HIV — and DoxyPEP, which lowers the risk of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in Michigan
The questions Oshtemo 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.
