ThedaCare in Shawano is a full health system bringing appointment-based STI care alongside primary services: testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB, with fees billed to Medicaid, Medicare, or insurance, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Substance-use treatment is available at the same site.
ThedaCare's substance-use treatment runs through the same clinical infrastructure as its STI care: meaning a prescribing provider can manage medications, order monitoring labs, and coordinate follow-up without transferring a patient to a separate program. The two services share staffing, not just a building.
ThedaCare tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, meaning a single visit can return antibody status on two distinct viral infections alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel. That six-infection scope shapes clinical decisions, hepatitis B vaccination, for instance, can be initiated on the same appointment based on results.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Shawano County, the county that includes Shawano, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#35 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 51% of the state
| Infection | Shawano County | Wisconsin | United States |

| Chlamydia | 223.8 92 cases ▼ 47% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 31.6 13 cases ▼ 73% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 9.1 | 15.8 |

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 Shawano County, chlamydia has fallen from 237.3 to 223.8 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 34.2 to 31.6 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 4.9 to 4.9 per 100,000.

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 Shawano County.
Local HIV snapshot
Shawano County HIV care continuum (2020)
Shawano County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Shawano County residents living with HIV, 90% are in care · 85% 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 Shawano County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Along East Green Bay Street, where Shawano's working households piece together budgets built around $619 monthly rents, the arithmetic looks reasonable until utilities, groceries, and the gas money needed to move between jobs start filling in the gaps. For the nearly half of residents who rent rather than own, that calculus is real: discretionary spending compresses fast, and anything that costs time or money outside the essentials tends to wait. That pressure lands hardest on younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who make up a meaningful share of Shawano's population and who face the steepest STI rates of any age group. With fewer than three in five residents currently in the workforce and average households running just over three people, schedules here are rarely simple. A single car shared across a household, a shift that ends after most offices close, a partner or child depending on you.
These are the conditions under which testing appointments either happen or quietly never get scheduled. The options listed on this page exist precisely for that reality. Several offer sliding-scale or no-cost visits, which removes the billing anxiety before it starts. Finding one on a route you already drive, along South Main Street or out toward Eberlein Park, means the trip requires no extra planning, just a stop you already had reason to make.
Getting there
At 7.53/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Shawano 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.
