Dearborn, Michigan, is a suburb of Detroit, so one would expect it to share that city’s high STD rates, but their HIV rate is much lower.
In 2016, there were 6,675 people living with HIV or AIDS in Wayne County, which Dearborn shares with Detroit and other suburbs; 343 more people were diagnosed that year. But the HIV prevalence rates in the Dearborn zip codes ranged from 68 to 134 per 100K people, 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 Dearborn’s numbers will probably be lower. Wayne County’s gonorrhea and (primary and 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. Also, may STD clinics and prevention programs have closed down due to budget constraints.
Dearborn has some STD-testing clinics, and of course there are more options in the surrounding areas. You may qualify for free STD testing at a public health clinic, but you will need to bring proof of your income (and there may be a wait).
There are charitable clients that provide free screening for some STDs as well, though hours may be irregular. The Community Health Awareness Group on Fort St provides STI and HIV rapid testing, and they have a needle exchange. 1st Choice Urgent Care, on Michigan Ave, offers STD testing, with a discounted rate for those who don’t have insurance.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.

As part of the greater Detroit metro area the city of Dearborn is dealing with many of the same problems, including high STD rates. The city and surrounding Wayne County currently have the dubious distinction of reporting the highest STD rate in the state.
It is not just Chlamydia and Gonorrhea rates that are skyrocketing, but Syphilis and HIV diagnoses are also up in frequency. Statistics released by the CDC and Wayne County Health Department also show the teens and young adults are among those most commonly infected.
According to the state health department, STD rates have been steadily increasing for the past twenty years. Chlamydia diagnoses have been rising since 1999, and have surpassed state averages. Young women ages 15 to 24 are among those with the highest risk for contracting the disease, and African Americans account for over 50 percent of the reported cases.
Gonorrhea rates in young men are also rising, according to the statistics, especially among African Americans. The spike in HIV/AIDS diagnoses in recent years, along with the number of Syphilis cases reported annually have local health officials concerned, and these rates are rising faster in the metro area than in the rest of the state.
With STD rates rising at such a rapid pace, it is now more important than ever for residents to make regular STD testing a part of their health care routine. Some of the other statistics that are emphasizing the growing problem with sexually transmitted infections in the area include,

Currently the state and subsequently the city do not require sex education classes in public school districts. Public schools do offer abstinence based programs that students can attend with parental permission, and the basics regarding HIV/AIDS and how the virus can be transmitted is included. When it comes to the other STDs students are taught that abstinence is the best method of protection, and while this may be true for pregnancy it will not prevent the spread of all sexually transmitted diseases.
The majority of high school students graduate not knowing how all STDs are spread, and most do not realize how important using protection is if they are going to be sexually active. With polls showing that teens are becoming sexually active at a younger age, it is imperative that they know how to protect themselves for STIs.
Since most teens and young adults do not understand that sexually transmitted diseases can be spread through various methods, it is also easy for them to pass these viruses onto other residents. While this might help to explain the city’s high STD rates, it doesn’t help residents protect their health.
This is why regular HIV testing in Dearborn is so important, and it can help lower the city’s abnormally high infection rate. Regular Herpes testing in Dearborn is also necessary, especially since the disease is already present in area high schools.

There are several reasons why Dearborn and the rest of the metro area are dealing with the highest STD rate in the state.
The lack of comprehensive classes in the public schools is leaving teens and young adults ill-equipped to deal with the dangers and responsibilities associated with being sexually active. This has resulted in a spike in STD infections and teen pregnancies.
Recent economic crashes first in the automobile industry and then in the housing market has left the city with little money to help educate or even treat residents that have already tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease. Many of the city’s STI clinics have been forced to shut their doors due to lack of funding, and others are only open for a few hours during the week.
This has made it difficult for many residents to find a STD clinic near them, and this does not take into account the budget cuts to health care. Now that regular STD testing is not covered by Medicaid, the city’s cash strapped residents are finding that the simply cannot afford the simple procedure.
The lack of available information and nearby STI testing centers has also caused many residents to mistakenly believe that sexually transmitted diseases are not a significant problem.
As long as these problems are allowed to continue and residents do not get tested as part of their regular health care routine, the STD rates in Dearborn will stay the highest in the state.

Before you take a tour of the Henry Ford Museum it is important to take a few minutes and think about your sexual health.

This way you only have to spend a few minutes at a nearby lab, and you will still have plenty of time to spend at the Automotive Hall of Fame.
