Care Net Pregnancy Center of Dane County tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, with every service provided at no fee regardless of income. Appointments are required, and bacterial STI treatment is available on-site.
Herpes testing at Care Net is ordered and resulted through the same visit as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. No separate referral appointment, no secondary lab arrangement. That operational integration means a single scheduled visit produces a fuller diagnostic picture across five pathogens.
Care Net provides services in Spanish and through interpretation for other languages, which means clinical conversations (exposure history, test results, treatment instructions) happen directly rather than through a third-party relay. Patients receive and process medical information in real time without a communication lag affecting their care.
Care Net funds its operations so that testing, treatment, counseling, and HIV prevention education each carry a zero-dollar cost. No billing tier, no point-of-service charge, no outstanding balance generated. The fee structure is built into the clinic's funding model, not applied selectively by service type.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Dane County, the county that includes Deerfield, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#6 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 92% of the state
| Infection | Dane County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 433.7 2,495 cases ▲ 3% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 118 679 cases ≈ the state average | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.7 33 cases ▼ 37% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.8 39 cases ▲ 10% | 6.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 15.5 89 cases ▲ 5% | 14.7 | 29.5 |

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 Dane County, chlamydia has fallen from 464.5 to 433.7 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 216.2 to 118 per 100,000 (45%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 8 to 5.7 per 100,000 (29%).

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 Dane County.
Local HIV snapshot
Dane County HIV care continuum (2023)
Dane County recorded 5.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Dane County residents living with HIV, 88.2% are in care · 83.6% 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 AtlasPlus · 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 Dane County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
People land in Deerfield for the schools, the quiet near Firemen's Park, the sense that a house here holds its value. Young adults moving into the area (whether they've bought, rented, or are still figuring out the next step) often discover that establishing care means knowing where to turn when health questions arise privately. STI testing in and around Deerfield reflects what the community itself does well: straightforward access, no fuss, and the kind of discretion you'd expect from a place where people stay put and build lives. The testing sites and clinics listed on this page operate with the understanding that confidentiality isn't theater, it's how you actually live here.
A young adult who grew up nearby or just arrived needs to know that a test result, a conversation with a provider, and any follow-up care remain exactly that: theirs alone. The working rhythm of Deerfield means many residents schedule appointments around jobs and family time, and local providers accommodate that reality. Testing itself is routine and straightforward: clinics in the area handle screening efficiently, with results typically available within days. Whether someone comes in for a first screening, a regular checkup, or because a partner's status changed, the framework is the same: direct, professional, and built on the assumption that adults make their own health decisions without explanation to anyone else.
Getting there
At 5.52/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Deerfield 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.
