Zero-Cost Care, No Balance Deferred

When cost becomes the reason someone leaves without treatment, an infection stays active and a follow-up appointment becomes harder to justify. Clark County Health Department eliminates that outcome entirely, every service, from testing to bacterial treatment to vaccines, is provided at no fee.

Spanish-Language Care Without the Gap

STI care that requires a secondary arrangement for Spanish speakers creates delays, and delays mean untreated infections. Clark County Health Department delivers care directly in Spanish, so nothing about the conversation, the diagnosis, or the treatment plan gets lost or postponed.

Title X Confidentiality Covers Minors Here

Clark County Health Department is a Title X clinic, which means younger patients accessing family planning services are covered by federal confidentiality protections. No parental disclosure required by law. For anyone without a regular provider navigating those services independently, that standing legal protection makes this the clinic to know about.

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.

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.
