Fond Du Lac County Health Department

Fond Du Lac County Health Department tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit when results warrant it: walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed, and every service carries no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Here Runs at Zero Cost

Testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling. All of it is free at Fond Du Lac County Health Department. That means a patient leaving with same-visit gonorrhea or chlamydia treatment walks out without a bill to sort through afterward.

Spanish on Staff, Interpretation Beyond That

Spanish-language services are available directly at Fond Du Lac County Health Department, and interpretation extends to additional non-English languages beyond that, so the conversation about test results, vaccine schedules, or STI prevention happens in full, not in shorthand.

Hepatitis C and B Screening Alongside the Core Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV, Fond Du Lac County Health Department runs hepatitis C and hepatitis B tests as part of its standard menu, both at no cost, alongside TB testing and treatment, giving a clearer picture of bloodborne and respiratory exposure in a single visit.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 229 reviews

Ascension Medical Group in Oshkosh brings STI care through a full medical clinic infrastructure, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis on a sliding-scale fee with appointments required, and extends into PrEP and PEP for ongoing prevention.

Read full overview

Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here

Ascension Medical Group prescribes and manages PrEP, including tenofovir-based regimens, directly, meaning the monitoring labs, follow-up visits, and medication adherence counseling stay within the same practice. PEP is equally available as a standing clinical service for prevention.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

For anyone without a specialist relationship or navigating care without insurance, Ascension Medical Group's ability to treat hepatitis C on-site, not just confirm it, closes the gap between a diagnosis and curative antiviral therapy. Hepatitis B treatment is managed here as well.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Clinics running a basic panel test for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia and stop there. Leaving herpes and all three hepatitis strains unaddressed. Ascension Medical Group tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB alongside the core four.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 10 reviews

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Oshkosh accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with a sliding-scale fee for everyone else, and tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Staffed Interpretation, Not a Dial-In Patch

Non-English speakers at Planned Parenthood Oshkosh are served through live interpretation services integrated directly into appointments, not a number handed off at the desk. That means the interpreter is present for clinical exchange, so symptom history, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling all move through the same conversation.

Title X Covers Confidential Minor Care Legally

As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood Oshkosh provides legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning a young person can access testing, contraception, and STI care without parental disclosure appearing on a billing statement or insurance record.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Here Directly

Tracking down PrEP through one provider, PEP through an urgent-care referral, and DoxyPEP through yet another can mean delays that erase the point of each medication. Planned Parenthood Oshkosh prescribes all three under one roof, so prevention coverage doesn't stall waiting on a separate practice to pick up.

Rated 3.1 out of 5 from 32 reviews

ThedaCare in Oshkosh requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead is the move, but that visit covers the full bacterial and viral panel, sliding-scale fees for all, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, plus HPV and hepatitis vaccines.

Read full overview

Substance-Use Treatment Runs Parallel to STI Care

Without both services at ThedaCare, addressing one condition while the other goes unmanaged is the default outcome. A gap that compounds quickly. Here, substance-use treatment is offered alongside STI care, so neither condition waits on the other to be resolved first.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Beyond the Standard Four

The typical STI clinic panel stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Hepatitis sits outside that scope and gets handled elsewhere. ThedaCare adds hepatitis B and C testing to the same visit, along with TB, so the picture of what's actually present is considerably fuller.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be? 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 Fond du Lac County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About North Fond du Lac, WI

Village Park sits at the quieter end of North Fond Du Lac's residential blocks, the kind of place where the same families have owned their homes for years. That settled quality is real, a solid majority of households here own their properties, but it coexists with a rental population paying around $942 a month, and with nearly two-thirds of residents in the labor force keeping schedules that aren't built around midday appointments. For younger adults still forming relationships, the ones statistically most likely to encounter an STI, that combination of cost pressure and work hours can quietly shrink the window for getting tested. The practical geography matters too.

North Fond Du Lac isn't built for walking to a clinic; US 45 and West Johnson Street are the arteries people actually drive, and reaching any of the listed options means planning ahead rather than stopping on impulse. For the four in ten residents renting here, absorbing a cost surprise on top of $942 in monthly rent makes free or low-cost screening genuinely worth seeking out rather than a nice-to-have. Households in North Fond Du Lac average three people, which means a positive result rarely stays a private calculation for long. Knowing which of those clinics offers evening hours or sliding-scale fees before you need one is the kind of preparation that suits a place where most people are already juggling full work weeks and shared living situations.

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.
