The most livable community in Mid-Michigan—that’s the city of Mt. Pleasant for you. Home to not one, but two colleges: Central Michigan University and Mid-Michigan Community College. The universities don’t detract from the hometown feel, but they may also contribute heavily to the rising rate of sexually transmitted diseases in Isabella County.
The most commonly reported STI is chlamydia, with an average of 1 in every 314 people residing in Mid-Michigan affected.
That’s double the national average. Isabella County’s rate for chlamydia in 2017 was 427.8 per 100,000 people. Gonorrhea clocks in at 63.3 for every 100,000 people. Primary and secondary syphilis was reported at a very low rate of 1.4 per 100,000.
With the rise of infection rates, the Central Michigan District Health Department has sought additional funding for its STD screening program. In previous years the CMDHD has offered free HIV testing for Isabella County dwellers, but they no longer can accommodate the amount of people in need of screenings. With their recent 2018 grant proposal, the county seeks to be able to provide free testing for all residents.
For CMU students, faculty, and staff, Foust Hall in the College of Medicine offers same-day appointments for HIV and STD testing. They also have a walk-in clinic located in Troutman Hall. The Central Michigan District Health Department provides confidential, anonymous HIV testing at their clinic’s location on Preston. Be sure to check out community calendars, especially on campus and in April (STD awareness month), for free testing opportunities.
To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Mount Pleasant 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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.

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.

General sexual health education is not legally required to be taught in public schools by the government of the state of Michigan. However, the one exception to the lack of set regulation occurs in terms of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS. The law states that schools are required to teach about STDs in general and HIV/AIDS specifically. These lessons on STDs are required to have an abstinence based prevention curriculum in which abstinence is touted as the best choice for avoiding STD contraction and for living a healthy and positive lifestyle as a single young adult.
Additionally, school districts are allowed to teach additional sexual health education classes that focus on human sexuality, STDs and pregnancy prevention (including abstinence as well as other contraception options), and family life education. There must be advisory boards set up to determine and approve the curriculum and materials for these programs and even then, parents are able to opt their child out of sexual education classes if they are uncomfortable with the subject matter and materials.
This is one of the public school districts that offers a more full sexual health education program and has a sex ed advisory board to help develop the curriculum. Sexual health education begins in fifth grade and continues intermittently through high school. The lessons are designed to be age appropriate and do include STD and HIV/AIDS risk identification, characteristics, testing, and prevention techniques.
As of mid-year 2015, there were about 26,060 people living in the Mt Pleasant, Michigan area. Out of the total population 52.6 percent of the people are female and 47.4 percent are male. The racial demographics of the community are relative homogeneous with a total of around 87.6 percent of the population identifying as Caucasian or White and only 3.9 percent identifying as Black or African American and 3.3 percent as Hispanic or Latino.
The demographic makeup of a city or an area can have a significant impact on numerous aspects of life in that area, including public health issues like sexually transmitted diseases. In Isabella County, in which this community is located, around 68 percent of all Chlamydia cases occur among Caucasian people and 16 percent among African American people. On the other hand 60 percent of Gonorrhea cases occur among Caucasian people and 30 percent occur among people who are African American. Based on the demographics of the city, it is easy to see how the rates are lower than average, particularly in the instance of Gonorrhea.
While this is an area with a relatively low prevalence of STDs overall, it is still important to take control of your sexual health and get yourself tested as soon as possible. Only you can take that first step towards a better understanding of your sexual and reproductive health. The first step is simply to pick up the phone and schedule yourself an appointment for a Confidential STD Screening Test. There are separate tests for certain STDs.
The standard screening is for both Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. A separate blood test is performed for HIV and other blood tests can be performed to test for Syphilis, Herpes, and other STDs. So, pick up that phone and make that call. The sooner you have answers, the sooner you can get the care and treatment you need if you do have an STD or you can breathe easy knowing you have a clean bill of health.
