Rated 4 out of 5 from 496 reviews

Marshfield Clinic Health System in Eau Claire tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone, with Medicaid and Medicare also accepted; bacterial infections treated same visit, and an appointment is required.

Hepatitis B and C Are on the Panel

Marshfield tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the core bacterial STIs, meaning a single visit surfaces liver infections that often go undetected until symptoms appear, rather than requiring a separate referral to establish that baseline.

PrEP and PEP Where Many Clinics Stop at Testing

Plenty of testing sites hand off prevention prescribing to a separate provider. Marshfield Clinic carries PrEP and PEP in-house, so the clinician who reviews your results is the same one who can initiate or adjust a prevention regimen.

Spanish-Language Care Delivered by Clinical Staff

Spanish-language care is available at Marshfield Clinic in Eau Claire, which means a patient can work through clinical questions, symptom history, and treatment instructions in Spanish without filtering any of it through a secondary channel.

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.

About Elk Mound, WI

Mound Park sits at the center of Elk Mound life, where families gather across seasons. The town itself draws people who value stability and long-term roots: many households span generations under one roof, and work schedules tend to be full. That combination means STI testing often gets pushed aside, even though young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a meaningful part of the community. Confidential screening matters most during those years, when partners change and risk shifts quietly.

Testing in and around Elk Mound reflects what the community needs: straightforward access without fanfare. Clinics listed on this page understand that people here work steady jobs and manage complex family arrangements; they've built appointment slots and intake processes around real schedules, not assumptions. Results stay confidential as a matter of routine, not exception. What sets Elk Mound apart is the expectation of privacy built into how health care operates here.

Residents tend to know one another, which can make seeking testing feel like a bigger decision than it is elsewhere. The clinics serving the area have learned this and work to keep visits discreet, letting people get screened without the weight of wondering who might notice.

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.
