STDs & HIV in Crawford County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Crawford County, the county that includes Prairie du Chien, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

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 Crawford County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Prairie du Chien, WI

Prairie Du Chien is a city where most households own their homes: a stability that can quietly coexist with tight budgets, given how modest typical home values and rents run here. That split matters because renters, often younger adults still moving between living situations, tend to be the same people in the years when STI rates climb highest and routine health appointments are easiest to let slide. With a little over a third of residents renting, there's a real share of the population whose schedules and financial margins don't always bend to accommodate a clinic visit. The labor-force picture adds texture to that.

Just over half of residents are actively working, and with fewer than one in seven households clearing six figures, cost is a genuine consideration when deciding whether to get tested. Even when fees are low. That's exactly why the options listed on this page (varying in hours, distance, and cost) are worth scanning before assuming any one of them won't work. Something that fits between a shift and pickup along Broadway Street is a different calculation than one that requires a half-day.

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.
