Fond Du Lac County Health Department

Fond Du Lac County Health Department tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit when results warrant it: walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed, and every service carries no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Here Runs at Zero Cost

Testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling. All of it is free at Fond Du Lac County Health Department. That means a patient leaving with same-visit gonorrhea or chlamydia treatment walks out without a bill to sort through afterward.

Spanish on Staff, Interpretation Beyond That

Spanish-language services are available directly at Fond Du Lac County Health Department, and interpretation extends to additional non-English languages beyond that, so the conversation about test results, vaccine schedules, or STI prevention happens in full, not in shorthand.

Hepatitis C and B Screening Alongside the Core Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV, Fond Du Lac County Health Department runs hepatitis C and hepatitis B tests as part of its standard menu, both at no cost, alongside TB testing and treatment, giving a clearer picture of bloodborne and respiratory exposure in a single visit.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 229 reviews

Ascension Medical Group in Oshkosh brings STI care through a full medical clinic infrastructure, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis on a sliding-scale fee with appointments required, and extends into PrEP and PEP for ongoing prevention.

Read full overview

Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here

Ascension Medical Group prescribes and manages PrEP, including tenofovir-based regimens, directly, meaning the monitoring labs, follow-up visits, and medication adherence counseling stay within the same practice. PEP is equally available as a standing clinical service for prevention.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

For anyone without a specialist relationship or navigating care without insurance, Ascension Medical Group's ability to treat hepatitis C on-site, not just confirm it, closes the gap between a diagnosis and curative antiviral therapy. Hepatitis B treatment is managed here as well.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Clinics running a basic panel test for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia and stop there. Leaving herpes and all three hepatitis strains unaddressed. Ascension Medical Group tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB alongside the core four.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 10 reviews

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Oshkosh accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with a sliding-scale fee for everyone else, and tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Staffed Interpretation, Not a Dial-In Patch

Non-English speakers at Planned Parenthood Oshkosh are served through live interpretation services integrated directly into appointments, not a number handed off at the desk. That means the interpreter is present for clinical exchange, so symptom history, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling all move through the same conversation.

Title X Covers Confidential Minor Care Legally

As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood Oshkosh provides legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning a young person can access testing, contraception, and STI care without parental disclosure appearing on a billing statement or insurance record.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Here Directly

Tracking down PrEP through one provider, PEP through an urgent-care referral, and DoxyPEP through yet another can mean delays that erase the point of each medication. Planned Parenthood Oshkosh prescribes all three under one roof, so prevention coverage doesn't stall waiting on a separate practice to pick up.

ThedaCare

Rated 3.1 out of 5 from 32 reviews

ThedaCare in Oshkosh requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead is the move, but that visit covers the full bacterial and viral panel, sliding-scale fees for all, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, plus HPV and hepatitis vaccines.

Read full overview

Substance-Use Treatment Runs Parallel to STI Care

Without both services at ThedaCare, addressing one condition while the other goes unmanaged is the default outcome. A gap that compounds quickly. Here, substance-use treatment is offered alongside STI care, so neither condition waits on the other to be resolved first.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Beyond the Standard Four

The typical STI clinic panel stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Hepatitis sits outside that scope and gets handled elsewhere. ThedaCare adds hepatitis B and C testing to the same visit, along with TB, so the picture of what's actually present is considerably fuller.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 8 reviews

Anchor of Hope Health Center in Plymouth accepts walk-ins for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing. No appointment needed to start. Bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and every service carries no fee.

Read full overview

Zero Cost Across Every Service Line

Every test, every treatment, every conversation at Anchor of Hope runs at no charge, which means the decision to come back for follow-up care or a repeat screen is never complicated by what it will cost.

Staffed to Serve Non-English Languages Directly

Anchor of Hope has interpretation services available for non-English languages, meaning clinical conversations (history-taking, results review, treatment instructions) happen through a live interpreter rather than being compressed into whatever a patient can manage in English.

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Standard Four

The clinic runs hepatitis B and hepatitis C antibody tests as part of its standard panel, so a single visit produces results on six infections (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and both hepatitis strains) without scheduling a separate appointment 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.

Fond du Lac County recorded 5.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fond du Lac County residents living with HIV, 73.7% are in care · 68.4% 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.

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 Fond du Lac County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Fond du Lac, WI

West Johnson Street cuts through Fond du Lac quickly enough that reaching a clinic listed on this page rarely means clearing much of a morning, but the cost side of the equation matters more for many households here. With typical rent sitting at a modest monthly figure and a relatively low share of residents earning six figures, routine health care, including STI screening, competes with real budget constraints for a meaningful portion of the city.

That mix shapes who actually follows through on testing. Nearly three in five residents own their home, but the rest carry rent obligations that can make any out-of-pocket appointment feel like a trade-off, especially for young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates run highest and relationship patterns shift most rapidly. In a household averaging close to three people, a screening visit that one person can slot around work and childcare tends to happen far more than one that demands a separate, complicated trip. The options listed on this page reflect a range of fee structures precisely because that variation is what moves an appointment from an intention into reality for a working household in Fond du Lac.

Close to half of adults here are married, and average household sizes reflect that many residents are already navigating shared health decisions. For couples and for younger adults still forming those arrangements, knowing which clinics near North Fond du Lac or along US 45 fit a weekday schedule is simply the practical starting point.

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.
