Interpretation Services Widen Who Gets Accurate Care

HealthFirst offers interpretation services for non-English languages, which means a patient's reported symptoms and sexual history reach the clinician with precision. The kind of accuracy that shapes which tests get ordered and whether treatment starts the same day.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Baraboo

HealthFirst carries both PrEP and PEP prescribing in-house, which is the answer for anyone without a regular provider who needs ongoing HIV prevention medication. No separate specialist, no second appointment to initiate a prescription. Sliding-scale fees apply to these services as they do across the clinic.

Herpes Testing Extends the Panel to Six Pathogens

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, HealthFirst tests for herpes. A sixth pathogen that changes the clinical picture and the conversation about transmission. That single addition means a visit can produce answers where a narrower panel would leave questions open.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Healthfirst Network in Mauston works on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required.

Read full overview Show less

Interpretation Services Staffed Into Every Appointment

Healthfirst Network has interpretation services available for non-English languages built directly into its appointment structure, not arranged on request after the fact. That operational staffing means clinical conversations about medication adherence, PrEP counseling, and STI education happen with language support present, not summarized through it afterward.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Under One Clinical Roof

Healthfirst Network carries standing prescribing capability for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP. All three prevention medications, from daily HIV prophylaxis to post-exposure doxycycline for bacterial STIs. For someone without a regular provider or managing prevention on a sliding-scale budget, having all three available at one clinic eliminates the need to source each prescription separately.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel to Eight

Beyond the core four, Healthfirst Network tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Bringing the panel to eight infections. Hepatitis C, in particular, is tested on-site and, when reactive, can be managed through the clinic's treatment services rather than deferred elsewhere.

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 Sauk County tests for syphilis.

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.
