Portage County Health and Human Services Department in Stevens Point charges on a sliding scale tied to income, keeping gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis testing within reach alongside TB testing and family planning. Bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and appointments are required.
Healthfirst Network in Stevens Point runs on a sliding-scale fee structure, accepting Medicaid and private insurance, with the full panel (HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) available by appointment.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Where You Already Are
A herpes or hepatitis diagnosis delayed is often a hepatitis or herpes infection spreading, and the cost of a second clinic visit, a second co-pay, and a second intake adds up fast. At Healthfirst Network, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing happen at the same appointment as the rest of your panel, closing that gap before it opens.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Under One Provider
Healthfirst Network prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, which means a patient's full prevention strategy (ongoing HIV pre-exposure coverage, post-exposure response, and bacterial STI prevention after sex) can be managed and adjusted by clinicians who already know their history.
Care Conducted in Your Language, Not Relayed Through One
Many clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate care through a chain of intermediaries, a front-desk call, a patched connection, a delay. Healthfirst Network provides interpretation services directly within the visit, so clinical conversations about symptoms, treatment, and prevention move at the pace of care, not around it.

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 Wood 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.
