The Bill That Stops a Follow-Through

An unexpected invoice is often what turns a test into an untreated infection, the charge that makes someone skip the follow-up or delay treatment. Price County Health Department closes that gap entirely: every service, from initial testing through treatment, carries no fee.

Hepatitis B and C Alongside the Standard Panel

The standard four-infection panel leaves hepatitis B and C unexamined, conditions that can progress silently without a dedicated test. Price County Health Department runs hepatitis B and C testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so the full picture is available from a single appointment.

STDs & HIV in Price County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Price County, the county that includes Kennan, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~13% 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.

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.
