Dearborn Heights is a suburb of Detroit, so it is no surprise that it shares the city’s high STD rates. One consolation: their HIV rate is significantly lower. In 2016, there were 6,675 people living with HIV or AIDS in Wayne County—which Dearborn Heights shares with Detroit and a number of other suburbs—and 343 more people were diagnosed.
Thankfully, the HIV prevalence rates found in Dearborn Heights zip codes ranged from 68 to 134 per 100K people which is much lower than the Detroit rates.
In 2015, Wayne County had 14,889 cases of chlamydia, at a rate of 884.2, but keep in mind it’s likely that Dearborn Heights rates are a bit lower. Wayne County’s gonorrhea and (primary & secondary) syphilis rates were 239 and 8.5. Health officials are worried about people out there who still don’t know they are infected and may be unknowingly infecting others. Sadly, many STD clinics and prevention programs have closed down due to budget cuts. All that adds up to a perfect storm of sexually transmitted diseases that’s driven the total rate of infection to approximately 40% higher than the national average.
In Dearborn Heights, there are plenty of options for getting screened. Some locations can sometimes see you the same day, offer results in as little as 1-2 days, and can even provide a sliding scale or free STD testing for those who qualify. Just east of the 275 and between 24, you can find Planned Parenthood, Northland Family Lansing, MedPost Urgent Care, and Michigan Urgent care.
To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Dearborn Heights clinics with our easy-to-read chart.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

With the escalating infection rates in Dearborn, everyone needs access to sexual education. Policies have been put in place in Dearborn to sensitize all age brackets on the need for STD testing.
Middle and high schools, planned parenthoods, organisations, Health centers, and community outreach programs in Dearborn have been set up to enlighten the locals on the need for STD testing. Though most parents backed the idea of the old system of Abstinence only, the curriculum also included comprehensive sexual education. These classes have an opt out form for the parents who feel that their children are not ready for comprehensive sexual education. Most schools are now teaching on the use of contraceptives, condoms and STD testing and treatment.
Dearborn also relies on the Planned Parenthoods in the locality to sensitize the entire population on the dangers of unprotected sex and on the means to protect themselves from STDs. These Planned Parenthood’s work hand in hand with the state and federal governments to offer sex education materials and programs. Also they help the victims of STDs in management and treatment and in making the right decisions.
Dearborn also has the TPPI (Teen pregnancy prevention initiatives), which helps in enlightening the youths on the best contraceptive use. Dearborn also has the access of PREP (personal responsibility education program). This is a federal and state funded program set up to help educate the youth on comprehensive sex education. They are taught on how to have healthy relationships with their parents, peers and relatives. How to prevent themselves against all sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS and unwanted pregnancies. This helps you realize the importance of getting tested for STDs and how to manage or treat the infection in the event of a diagnosis.
The Universities and all higher education learning institutions have programs that teach students on comprehensive sexual education. With HIV/AIDS and Herpes being a common infection in these institutions and among the youth 15-24 years, students are taught on prevention measures like abstinence and condom use. Condoms are offered in these Planned Parenthoods and higher learning institutions.
Demographics have a great impact on the rate of STD infection in Dearborn. With the rapid growth of population and increased teen pregnancies being a clear indicator that most youth engage in unprotected sex. Unmanageable population due to few medical centers and Planned parenthood centers has resulted into increased rates of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV/AIDS infections in Dearborn.
Low standards of living due to low income has also facilitated the growth of STDs in Dearborn as many people cannot manage to afford a regular STD family check up. This is mostly in families where the parents can only cater for the primary basic needs.
Parents trust in the abstinence only as the only means of preventing STDs among the youth has also greatly contributed to the increase of unwanted pregnancies and and the rise of STD infections among the youth. Most parents have been too stringent on the comprehensive sexual education, opting their children out of the comprehensive sexual education classes with claims that such knowledge would build sex curiosity on their children. With such unsupportive nature of parents, STD infection rate amongst the youth between the ages of 15-25 has been alarming.
Increasing drug use in Dearborn has also been a contributing factor in the alarming rates of STD infection. WIth a sizeable proportion of the population engaging in drugs and alcohol abuse, a healthy life ends with the end of your sobriety. Drugs always results into misjudgements which turns to regret.
Excessive or unregulated use of social media has also contributed to the general increase of STD infection in Dearborn. WIth obscene materials all over in the internet and other social platforms, the youth always have a habit of practising what they’ve seen. However, the federal government in hand with the health department of Michigan and various organisations have stepped up to sensitize the locals of Dearborn on the need for STD testing, prevention and treatment. This is a plus in the fight against STDs in Dearborn.
Due to the above statistics on Dearborn’s state of STD infection, the health department of Wayne County coupled with Planned parenthood centers, public and private high schools and universities, urgent cares, health centers among other mobile clinics have been established to help in STD education, testing, treatment and management.
One of the major public health centers in Dearborn is Beaumont Hospital. This is a walk-in basis center, which offers fast, accurate and quantitative diagnosis. They offer family/individual services. They offer confidential STD testing services with pre and post test counselling services. Being a public utility, they offer their services at fair prices.
Henry Ford Hospital is another outstanding health center in Dearborn that receives patients from all over the world. This is one of the largest hospitals in Dearborn. They offer both walk-in and appointment services. They offer quality and confidential STD testing and treatment services. Due to the magnitude of the population the center serves, it operates for 24 hours through 7 days in a week. This is a full time facility which is well equipped.
Quest Diagnostics Dearborn Michigan Ave PSC is one of the best private clinics in Dearborn. They offer accurate and fast STD diagnosis. They can send your results via your smartphone. They accept all forms of insurance plans. Along with Dearborn Medical Walk in Clinic they offer confidential STD testing. Regardless of your race, religion and place of origin, your needs will be addressed.

With the rapidly growing population in Dearborn, the need for urgent cares is vital so as to accommodate extra patients and offer fast services. They offer counselling, diagnosis, treatment, and management services of all STDs. They also offer referrals upon request.
Planned parenthood Detroit Health Center and Planned Parenthood Livonia Health Center are also other STD testing centers in Dearborn. They offer walk in basis, fast and efficient diagnosis and treatment of STDS. They also offer birth control services along with condoms same as ll other health facilities and urgent care centers in Dearborn. All these facilities work with a common goal of testing and treating all types of STDs. They have given Dearborn a hope for a future STD free city.
Despite the city of Dearborn having an alarming increment in the rate of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, its health department has the best policies in place to mitigate the spread of STDs. With an urgent implementation of comprehensive sexual health education in the middle and high school curriculum, it is definite that the rate of STDs will substantially decrease. The dissemination of condoms in different institutions across the city including, private and public health facilities, Schools, universities, colleges and urgent cares has helped combat the spread of all STDS including HIV/AIDS and unwanted pregnancies.
Sexual education begins at home, with the help of parents in educating our teens about their sex life and the dangers of unprotected sex, we can minimise the risk of STD infection in Dearborn. Sharing the importance of STD testing with our colleagues, friends and relatives can help liberate our city from the overshadowing menace of STDs.
