Healthfirst in Marshfield tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and appointments required to be seen.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Basics

Healthfirst runs herpes and hepatitis B and C testing alongside the standard bacterial and HIV screens, meaning a single visit can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unmanaged.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Without a Second Stop

Chasing down PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP through separate providers means delays that can turn a preventable outcome into an active one. Healthfirst prescribes all three under one appointment, so the prevention gap that opens between referrals never forms.

Interpretation Services Extend Into the Clinical Conversation

Healthfirst makes interpretation services available for non-English languages, which means patients can engage fully with counseling, risk discussion, and treatment instructions. Not just the intake paperwork.

Spanish-Language Care Staffed, Not Patched Together

Spanish-language care at Marshfield Clinic is a staffing commitment rather than a routed workaround: clinical conversations about symptoms, test results, and treatment plans happen directly in Spanish, without relay through a secondary service. That means medication instructions and follow-up guidance arrive in the same language as the diagnosis.

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Bacterial Panel

The testing panel at Marshfield Clinic Health System includes hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. All ordered and processed within a single scheduled appointment. Hepatitis A vaccination is also available on-site, as is hepatitis B vaccination for adults, so viral hepatitis prevention and detection happen through the same clinical visit.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Wood County tests for syphilis.

About Auburndale, WI

Auburndale's rhythm turns on timber, equipment, and the seasonal push of outdoor work. The kind of labor that keeps people moving and sometimes makes a health appointment feel like one more thing to squeeze in. That urgency is exactly why confidential STI testing exists here: to fit into real life without disruption or fanfare. Clinics and urgent care providers in and around Auburndale listed on this page recognize that screening happens best when you can walk in without ceremony, get answers without delay, and move on.

Young adults in their late teens through thirties make up a meaningful share of the community, and for that age group especially, knowing your status is straightforward self-care. Not a confession, not a crisis. Testing is available quietly; results are your own. No one from work needs to know you stopped by.

The confidentiality built into these visits isn't a special favor; it's how the system works. If you're new to the area or haven't had routine screening in a while, the providers accessible from Auburndale can answer questions about which test makes sense for you and what to expect. Whether you're on US Highway 10 passing through or settled here, testing is within reach and designed to stay private.

Confidentiality & consent in Wisconsin

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Wisconsin law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Wisconsin, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
