Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Basics

Healthfirst runs herpes and hepatitis B and C testing alongside the standard bacterial and HIV screens, meaning a single visit can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unmanaged.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Without a Second Stop

Chasing down PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP through separate providers means delays that can turn a preventable outcome into an active one. Healthfirst prescribes all three under one appointment, so the prevention gap that opens between referrals never forms.

Interpretation Services Extend Into the Clinical Conversation

Healthfirst makes interpretation services available for non-English languages, which means patients can engage fully with counseling, risk discussion, and treatment instructions. Not just the intake paperwork.

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.
