PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Separate Appointment
Gaps in HIV prevention often open when PrEP or PEP requires a separate prescriber and the follow-through doesn't happen. Winona Health carries both, so the prescription, and the clinical relationship that keeps it going, starts at the same visit as testing.
Hepatitis C Is on the Panel
The panel at Winona Health extends to hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, meaning an infection that often goes undetected for years gets caught in the same visit rather than surfacing later through unrelated care.
Semcac Community Action Agency in Winona tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee open to anyone, with insurance and Medicaid also accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Specialist
Semcac carries both PrEP and PEP as standing services, no separate infectious-disease referral needed to access either medication. For someone without a regular provider, or paying out of pocket and managing costs on a sliding scale, having prescription access and ongoing PrEP monitoring at the same community agency keeps prevention continuous rather than contingent.
Herpes Testing Added to the Standard Four
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Semcac runs herpes testing. A serological antibody test that identifies HSV-1 and HSV-2 separately. That distinction matters operationally: the result type shapes whether antiviral suppression therapy is appropriate, so having the test available at the same appointment where treatment can be initiated shortens the clinical timeline.

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 Trempealeau County tests for syphilis.

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.
