Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Cedarburg, WI. The nearest, ACL Laboratories, is about 1.8 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Froedtert Hospital in West Bend runs STI testing by appointment, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and services conducted in Spanish.
Spanish is available across the full service continuum at Froedtert Hospital: not limited to intake but present through testing, results, and ongoing treatment conversations. That means clinical nuance, medication instructions, and follow-up planning all move in Spanish without a handoff to a secondary channel.
Froedtert Hospital holds Ryan White Program funding, which means HIV care, from the initial conventional test through ongoing medical treatment and medication management, is available to people without the insurance or income to sustain it elsewhere. That standing capacity makes the clinic a durable option for anyone who needs HIV care to continue, not just begin.
Prevention prescribing at many clinics stops at PrEP. Froedtert Hospital in West Bend prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline protocol for reducing bacterial STI risk, giving people access to the fuller current prevention toolkit rather than a single-medication approach.

Milwaukee Health Services in Milwaukee keeps every service (testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB) free or on a sliding scale, with Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance accepted; an appointment is required for same-visit bacterial STI treatment.
For anyone navigating STI care without a regular provider (or paying out of pocket for medication, labs, and follow-up) Milwaukee Health Services absorbs that burden by making its full fee schedule free or sliding-scale. Sliding scale applies to everyone who walks through the door, and HIV testing is explicitly free.
Without interpretation woven into the visit itself, a diagnosis can stall into an untreated gap. The prescription misunderstood, the follow-up missed. Milwaukee Health Services provides interpretation services for non-English languages on-site, so counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment decisions all happen in the same appointment.
Milwaukee Health Services prescribes and monitors both PrEP and PEP internally: meaning the prescribing provider, adherence counseling, and follow-up labs are coordinated through a single clinical relationship rather than handed off. Medication adherence education is embedded in the care model, keeping PrEP effective over the long term.

C. H. Mason Health Clinic in Milwaukee carries federal qualification as a community health center, which means STI screening costs are tied to a patient's income through a sliding-scale fee structure. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing without needing an appointment first.

Health Connections in Glendale runs STI care through a community health model, offering the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB) with walk-in access, same-visit bacterial treatment, and all services at no fee.
Every service at Health Connections carries no charge, and that extends beyond the test itself to treatment, counseling, and prevention. When gonorrhea or chlamydia is confirmed, treatment happens the same day without a separate billing step or a follow-up invoice.
Leaving a clinic with only a testing result and no prevention pathway means the gap between exposure and protection falls entirely on the patient. Health Connections closes that gap by prescribing both PrEP and PEP directly, including PrEP coverage for uninsured patients, so prevention is settled at the same visit.
Health Connections prescribes and monitors hepatitis C treatment on-site: clinicians move from a confirmed antibody result into antiviral therapy, tracking viral load and treatment response without routing patients to a separate specialist practice.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Milwaukee pairs STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV) with full family planning on a sliding-scale fee, appointment-based visits, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, with interpretation services extending that care across languages.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin makes interpretation services available for non-English-language speakers at every appointment, meaning clinical conversations about testing, treatment, and prevention medications happen in the language a person uses. Not summarized afterward through a secondary contact.
As a Title X family planning site, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Milwaukee provides legally confidential services for minors. A federal designation that limits disclosure independent of insurance or parental billing, making it a structurally distinct protection rather than a clinic policy.
For anyone without a primary care provider who prescribes HIV or bacterial STI prevention, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin holds standing prescribing capability for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP. All three prevention medications available through the same appointment, without a separate referral chain.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Ozaukee County, the county that includes Cedarburg, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#57 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 21% of the state
| Infection | Ozaukee County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 135.9 127 cases ▼ 68% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 32.1 30 cases ▼ 73% | 118.5 | 179.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Ozaukee County, chlamydia has risen from 132.2 to 135.9 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 32.8 to 32.1 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.2 to 3.2 per 100,000 (45%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Ozaukee County.
Local HIV snapshot
Ozaukee County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Ozaukee County residents living with HIV, 81.8% are in care · 81.8% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Ozaukee County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Washington Avenue runs through the older, quieter core of Cedarburg where cedar-sided homes and well-kept yards signal the kind of settled, ownership-heavy community most Wisconsin cities only approximate. That stability is real, and it shapes how residents think about health logistics: most households here carry a mortgage rather than a month-to-month lease, two-person-plus households are the norm, and with nearly half of all households clearing six figures, out-of-pocket costs at a clinic rarely register as the first obstacle.
What does register is time. Ozaukee County's STI rates exist against a backdrop where a large share of the local workforce is employed and active, schedules are full, and the young adults in the mix, people in their late teens and twenties forming new relationships, are exactly the group for whom a routine screen is most medically relevant and most easily deferred. Getting to the options listed on this page means a drive out of Cedarburg, whether you're leaving from the Rappold Park side of town or heading out toward Grafton, so knowing in advance which clinic's hours line up with yours matters more than it might somewhere with transit alternatives.
The roughly three-in-ten residents who rent, most paying well under the national median, face a different calculation: even a modest co-pay can prompt a delay that a homeowner would absorb without thinking. Checking the fee structures listed here before choosing a location is the practical first step for anyone in that position.
Getting there
At 8.57/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Cedarburg generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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