In Winnebago County, new HIV diagnoses run about 70% lower than the US average. Whether it's your first STI test or a routine screening in Neenah, Wisconsin, you can choose between the convenience of an at-home kit or the personalized care of a clinic visit. We list options below.
Available testing centers
11 testing options are listed for Neenah, WI. The nearest, Ascension Medical Group, is about 1.5 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Ascension Medical Group in Neenah accepts Medicaid and insurance, with a fee schedule for other payers, and tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP available on-site.
Ascension Medical Group in Neenah holds the prescription authority and the clinical relationship to initiate and maintain both PrEP and PEP, the combination that covers ongoing prevention and time-sensitive response. For anyone without a regular provider who handles HIV prevention, having both medications available within one practice closes a gap that often means going elsewhere.
The standard four-infection screen is a starting point, not the ceiling here. Ascension Medical Group tests for herpes simplex and for hepatitis A, B, and C individually: distinctions that matter because each virus has a different transmission route, vaccine profile, and treatment path, and conflating them into a single category leaves clinical decisions underinformed.

ThedaCare in Neenah requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB in a single visit, with STI treatment on-site and fees accepted through Medicaid, Medicare, or insurance.
For anyone managing active substance use alongside an STI diagnosis, and without a specialist provider already in their corner, ThedaCare carries both programs under the same clinical roof. That means substance-use treatment isn't a separate errand; it's a service the clinic is already equipped to deliver alongside testing and STI care.
Clinics running a basic STI panel stop at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Hepatitis doesn't make the list. ThedaCare tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside those four, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would miss entirely.

Vivent Health in Appleton is a dedicated HIV and sexual health organization where gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, PrEP, HPV and hepatitis vaccines, same-visit bacterial treatment, and harm reduction services, including needle exchange, are all provided at no cost, with appointments required and sliding-scale fees available where applicable.
When cost sits between a person and follow-through (skipped treatment, a deferred PrEP prescription, an untested exposure) the gap compounds. At Vivent Health Appleton, every service on the menu, from testing to ongoing HIV medical care to needle exchange, is provided at no fee, eliminating the point where the math kills the plan.
When Spanish-speaking patients can't fully describe symptoms or understand a treatment plan, infections go undertreated and follow-up falls apart. Vivent Health Appleton provides Spanish-language services and broader interpretation support directly, so clinical conversations (PrEP counseling, harm reduction planning, HIV care) happen with full precision.
Through Ryan White program funding, Vivent Health Appleton staffs and sustains a complete HIV care continuum: a rapid or conventional test feeds directly into medical intake, antiretroviral prescribing, and ongoing viral load monitoring: all within the same organization, without gaps between diagnosis and managed, long-term treatment.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV testing. Appointments are required, and same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton has live interpretation services available for non-English languages at every appointment, so a patient navigating PrEP counseling, a new diagnosis, or a treatment plan can do it fully, not in shorthand. Clinical conversations that require precision don't lose it to a language gap.
Without Title X protections, a minor seeking STI testing or family planning often faces a gap. Parental consent requirements that delay care or prevent it entirely. As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton can provide those services to minors with legal confidentiality, closing that gap before it becomes an untreated condition.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, which means ongoing HIV prevention (daily medication, follow-up labs, and dosing continuity) stays coordinated in one place rather than fragmenting across multiple providers.

Family Care of the Fox Cities in Appleton tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with fees on a sliding scale and insurance accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.
Family Care of the Fox Cities staffs PrEP and PEP as ongoing clinical services: meaning the prescribing, lab monitoring, and follow-up visits that keep prevention effective are handled by the same practice, not pieced together across separate providers.
Plenty of testing sites cap their panels at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: leaving herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C off the list entirely. Family Care of the Fox Cities includes all of them, so one appointment covers infections that would otherwise require a separate referral.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Winnebago County, the county that includes Neenah, 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.
#11 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 85% of the state
| Infection | Winnebago County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 351.1 603 cases ▼ 17% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 43.1 74 cases ▼ 64% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7 12 cases ▼ 23% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.7 8 cases ▼ 24% | 6.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 12.2 21 cases ▼ 17% | 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 Winnebago County, chlamydia has fallen from 443.7 to 351.1 per 100,000 (21%), gonorrhea has fallen from 111.2 to 43.1 per 100,000 (61%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.1 to 7 per 100,000 (71%).

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 Winnebago County.
Local HIV snapshot
Winnebago County HIV care continuum (2023)
Winnebago County recorded 4.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Winnebago County residents living with HIV, 88.6% are in care · 81.1% 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 Winnebago County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Mahler Farm and Hidden Acres draw a lot of young adults settling into their first real leases, the kind of years when relationships shift quickly and a routine health check rarely makes it onto the calendar until something prompts it. Neenah skews toward ownership overall, with roughly a third of households renting, and at around $750 a month that rent is low enough to stay, but not so low that an unexpected medical bill feels trivial. Nearly half of adults here are married and households run larger than average, which means many people are navigating shared health decisions, not just their own.
Winnebago County's STI patterns follow the national rhythm: people in their late teens and twenties account for a disproportionate share of new diagnoses, and in a city where most adults are working, a clinic appointment competes directly with a full labor schedule and family obligations. When about two-thirds of working-age residents are in the workforce, mid-week daytime hours are genuinely hard to use. That short trip past Washington Park or out toward Fox Crossing is the concrete variable: a clinic whose hours match a lunch break or an evening actually gets used, where one that demands a dedicated half-day often doesn't.
Getting there
At 9.02/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Neenah generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
