Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program

No ratings yet

Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program in Platteville requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead locks in same-day bacterial treatment alongside the full standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) plus HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines, all on a sliding scale down to no cost.

Herpes and Hepatitis Are Tested On-Site

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic runs herpes and both hepatitis B and hepatitis C tests in-house: each drawn at the same appointment, read by the same staff, and followed up through the same care team rather than sent elsewhere to interpret.

Spanish-Speaking Staff Handle Clinical Conversations Directly

Spanish-language care at SWCAP is delivered by on-site staff who conduct intake, counseling, and treatment discussions in Spanish. No relay required. That means clinical nuance, symptom history, and follow-up instructions move between provider and patient without a lag or a filter.

Every Service Here Carries Zero Out-of-Pocket Cost

The sliding scale at SWCAP runs all the way to zero: testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling are each available at no charge, structured so the fee adjusts to income and bottoms out at nothing, with Medicaid and private insurance accepted for those who carry it.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Emplify Health in Fennimore accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with fees scaled to income for everyone else. The clinic tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. By appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Hepatitis C Treatment Prescribed and Monitored Here

Emplify Health carries hepatitis C care beyond the antibody and RNA test into active treatment, direct-acting antivirals are prescribed and the response monitored through the same clinic. That means sustained virologic response tracking happens here, not handed off to a specialist network.

PrEP Prescribed Directly, No Outside Provider Needed

Emplify Health holds the prescribing authority for PrEP in-house, making it a complete source for anyone who wants ongoing HIV prevention medication but lacks a primary care relationship. Initiation, follow-up labs, and refills all run through the same appointment-based practice.

Interpretation Services Tied to Clinical Appointments

Interpretation services at Emplify Health are available for non-English-speaking patients as part of the clinical encounter itself, not a separate arrangement to self-organize before arrival. That integration means clinical history, test results, and treatment instructions all move through a shared language in the same visit.

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.
