How to read these listings
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.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares a Roof With STI Care
Leaving Noble Community Clinic with an STI diagnosis and a separate referral for substance-use care means two intake processes, two waiting periods, and a real chance one of them doesn't happen. Noble carries both services, so neither gets deferred while the other is sorted out.

Healthfirst Network

Healthfirst Network in Friendship runs by appointment, so your visit is structured around the full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and interpretation services available for non-English languages.

Interpretation Support Built Into Every Appointment
For anyone navigating STI care without English as a primary language, Healthfirst Network has interpretation services in place before you walk in: meaning the conversation about your panel results, your prevention options, and your treatment plan happens clearly, not in shorthand. That standing capability is what makes a scheduled visit here functionally complete for non-English speakers.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
Healthfirst Network prescribes and manages all three prevention medications: PrEP (taken daily to block HIV transmission), PEP (a post-exposure HIV regimen), and DoxyPEP (doxycycline taken after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STI risk). Each requires follow-up labs and adherence counseling, both of which are handled on-site rather than delegated to a separate provider.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Avoid a Second Appointment
Leaving herpes or hepatitis B and C off a panel means a patient may go months before those infections surface through symptoms or a separate workup, a gap that carries real transmission and health cost. Healthfirst Network's panel includes both herpes and hepatitis B and C testing alongside the standard four, so a single appointment in Friendship closes the loop rather than opening a follow-up queue.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 12 miles away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Coloma, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Waushara County tests for syphilis.

Coloma's rhythm turns on seasonal work and small trades: orchards, equipment repair, the kind of labor that demands steady hands and planning ahead. That same attention to detail matters when health decisions come due. STI testing in and around Coloma is available through clinics listed on this page, and the confidentiality built into those services means you can get screened without worrying about word spreading through town. A real share of residents here are young adults whose jobs and lives don't always sync with standard clinic hours, which is why having testing accessible nearby, whether on WI 21 or through mobile services, removes one more barrier to knowing your status. The tests themselves are straightforward and fast.
What changes things is the privacy: results don't automatically reach your employer, your family, or anyone else. That separation between your health visit and your daily life in a small town is not automatic, but it's built into how these services work. Getting screened is a choice you can make quietly, on your own terms. The clinics and providers listed here understand that Coloma residents need both access and discretion, and they're set up to deliver both.

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.
