Substance-Use Treatment and STI Care Together

Spanish-Language Care Without a Go-Between

Gundersen Health System in Friendship delivers STI care, counseling, and treatment directly in Spanish. Not through a scheduled callback or workaround. For someone whose primary language is Spanish and who needs a provider who can conduct the full visit, field questions about the panel, and explain a treatment plan without friction, that standing capability makes this a reliable first call.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

The standard four-infection panel leaves herpes and viral hepatitis off the table entirely: Gundersen Health System in Friendship tests for both herpes and hepatitis B and C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. For anyone who wants a fuller picture of their status in a single appointment, that expanded panel is already built into what this clinic offers.

Healthfirst Network

No ratings yet

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.

Read full overview Show less

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.

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.

STDs & HIV in Adams County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Adams County, the county that includes Friendship, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

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 Adams County tests for syphilis.

About Friendship, WI

Adams, the neighborhood that anchors Friendship's small downtown grid, is home to a mix of owners and renters living on modest budgets, and with fewer than half of residents currently in the workforce, the rhythm of daily life here doesn't follow a standard nine-to-five. That labor-force reality, combined with unemployment running well above typical small-town figures, means schedules can be unpredictable in both directions: some people have stretches of open time, others are piecing together income from multiple sources with little flexibility to spare. Those practical pressures matter when it comes to STI screening, because the young adults living in and around Friendship, people in their late teens and twenties building relationships and navigating uncertain work, are precisely the group for whom a skipped appointment tends to stay skipped.

With six-figure households making up a sliver of the community and typical rents staying low along the WI 13 corridor, cost is rarely a dealbreaker, but distance and timing can be. The options listed on this page aren't all a short walk from Friendship Beach or Burt Morris Park; reaching several of them means a deliberate trip down State Highway 13. Whether someone in Adams can move freely on a weekday morning or only has a narrow window mid-week, different clinic hours and distances along WI 13 mean there's a realistic combination of timing and proximity worth identifying now, before circumstances make the choice urgent.

Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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.
