Zero-Fee Care Backed by Title X Funding

Title X federal funding underwrites every appointment at Pepin County Health Department, which means the sliding scale bottoms out at nothing: Medicaid is accepted, and for those without it, the fee structure still lands at zero. No session carries a residual charge.

Interpretation Services Extend Across Every Appointment

Pepin County Health Department has interpretation services available for non-English languages, applied across the full scope of care: STI testing, TB screening, family planning, and treatment. That continuity means clinical decisions, follow-up instructions, and prevention education all move in the same language throughout.

Title X Confidentiality Covers Minors in Family Planning

Title X designation means family planning services for minors are legally confidential: a protection that exists independent of any parental insurance or billing, letting younger patients engage with contraception, STI testing, and related care on their own terms.

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.
