Rated 3.3 out of 5 from 26 reviews

UnityPoint Health in Stoughton accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with fees for those paying directly, and covers syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. Walk-ins welcome, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Read full overview Show less

Herpes and Hepatitis Added to the Standard Panel

UnityPoint Health tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core bacterial and viral infections. Meaning a single visit can surface conditions that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unaddressed.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Stoughton

UnityPoint Health carries both PrEP and PEP prescribing as standing services: useful for anyone without a regular primary care provider who needs ongoing HIV prevention medication managed in one place, billed to Medicaid or insurance.

Interpretation Services Integrated Into Clinical Care

Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at UnityPoint Health in Stoughton, meaning clinical conversations, including medication counseling and adherence education, can proceed with accuracy rather than approximation across language differences.

STDs & HIV in Jefferson County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Jefferson County, the county that includes Cambridge, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

About Cambridge, WI

STD testing in Cambridge means either using the clinic services listed on this page or traveling to neighboring towns, a trade-off many residents navigate quietly. The community's stable, homeowning character means people tend to know one another, which can make a local appointment feel conspicuous. Young adults in the area, from late teens through their thirties, often face that particular calculus: weigh convenience against the weight of visibility in a place where familiarity runs deep. The clinics and health providers available in and around Cambridge offer confidential testing without the friction of having your visit become local knowledge. Results are yours alone.

Many residents use these services precisely because the arrangement lets them handle their health privately, on their own timeline, without the conversation that might spark if they drove elsewhere. Getting tested here reflects a practical mindset. Working people and families with roots in the community understand that sexual health screening is routine, as routine as any other health care. When you find the right provider from the listings on this page, confidentiality isn't a courtesy; it's how the service works.

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.
