STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Monroe County, the county that includes Oakdale, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~17% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#16 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 78% of the state
| Infection | Monroe County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 286 132 cases ▼ 32% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 17.3 8 cases ▼ 85% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.2 1 cases ▼ 65% | 6.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 2.2 1 cases ▼ 85% | 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 Monroe County, chlamydia has risen from 259.3 to 286 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 45.4 to 17.3 per 100,000 (62%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6.5 to 6.5 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Monroe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Monroe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Monroe County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Monroe County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 68% 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 Monroe County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Getting tested for STIs in Oakdale means planning ahead. The nearest clinics with dedicated sexual health services sit beyond immediate walking distance, so most residents drive to neighboring towns or rely on providers who make the trip into Monroe County. That reality, distance and limited local foot traffic, shapes how people approach screening here: it's not a drop-in errand but something you book with intention, often weeks out. Young adults in Oakdale, from late teens through their thirties, have particular reason to make that call.
Routine confidential screening catches infections early, before symptoms appear, and the providers listed on this page understand why privacy matters in a tight-knit setting. Results don't circulate; what you discuss with a clinician stays confidential by law and by practice. The landscape around Oakdale (Bellevue Hill to the east, Mount Eve visible from West Badger Drive) can feel isolating when health questions arise. That isolation, though, also means you control the narrative.
Testing happens away from daily sight lines, appointments are scheduled one-to-one, and follow-up care can happen by phone or secure message. In and around Oakdale, that kind of discrete, deliberate access is often what makes screening feel possible at all.
Getting there
At 7.24/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Oakdale 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.
