Newcap in Oconto runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, covering tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C: with STI treatment and family planning available; appointments are required, and care is delivered in Spanish.
The panel at Newcap extends to herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial STIs and HIV. Six conditions that a narrower panel would miss. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also on-site, so a reactive hepatitis result can move directly toward prevention for close contacts.
Spanish-language care at Newcap is a staffed clinical function: counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment discussions happen directly in Spanish, without routing through a separate service. That means dosing instructions, follow-up schedules, and test results are communicated in the same language the appointment is conducted in.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Marinette County, the county that includes Marinette, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#40 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 44% of the state
| Infection | Marinette County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 192.4 81 cases ▼ 54% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 14.2 6 cases ▼ 88% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 9.1 | 15.8 |

| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 2.4 1 cases ▼ 84% | 14.7 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Marinette County, chlamydia has fallen from 260.3 to 192.4 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has risen from 11.9 to 14.2 per 100,000 (19%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.4 to 2.4 per 100,000.

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Marinette County.
Local HIV snapshot
Marinette County HIV care continuum (2023)
Marinette County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Marinette County residents living with HIV, 90.9% are in care · 86.4% 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.
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 Marinette County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The Menominee River defines Marinette's edge, and winters here arrive with genuine teeth, which means people plan ahead for what matters. Routine STI screening fits that same practical mindset. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties often navigate work changes, new relationships, or shifts in where they're living; a confidential test becomes one of those straightforward health checkups that doesn't demand explanation or elaborate scheduling around anyone else's calendar. The modest cost of living here means people tend to stay put long enough to build real lives, which is exactly when knowing your status, without fanfare, becomes part of ordinary self-care.
Testing sites and clinics in and around Marinette listed on this page offer the privacy and directness you'd want. Results remain yours alone, and the people running these services understand that confidentiality isn't theater; it's how you actually get people to show up and take care of themselves. Whether you're near Menekaunee or heading past Indian Mound, screening is available without judgment or delay. A single conversation with any clinic here will tell you what fits your schedule and what you can expect.

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).
In Wisconsin, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
