Dunn County Public Health Department

No ratings yet

Dunn County Public Health Department in Menomonie runs STI care alongside the full infrastructure of county public health: rapid and conventional HIV testing, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, TB, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, by appointment, with Spanish and interpretation services available.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish and Interpretation Extend to Every Appointment

Dunn County Public Health Department carries Spanish-language capacity and broader interpretation services as a standing feature of every appointment: meaning someone navigating PrEP adherence, a new diagnosis, or medication counseling gets that conversation fully in the language they use to reason through health decisions, not summarized through a gap.

Confidential Minor Services Beyond What Most Offer

County health departments commonly provide STI testing without extending family planning's legal protections to younger patients. Dunn County Public Health Department holds Title X status, which means minors can access family planning services, including STI care, with the confidentiality guarantee that federal law requires, independent of a parent's involvement.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Menomonie

Dunn County Public Health Department prescribes both PrEP, the daily antiretroviral regimen that keeps HIV-negative status intact, and PEP on-site, which means the medication decision, counseling, and prescription happen within the same appointment rather than requiring a separate clinical relationship elsewhere.

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.
