Family Care of the Fox Cities in Appleton tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with fees on a sliding scale and insurance accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.
Family Care of the Fox Cities staffs PrEP and PEP as ongoing clinical services: meaning the prescribing, lab monitoring, and follow-up visits that keep prevention effective are handled by the same practice, not pieced together across separate providers.
Plenty of testing sites cap their panels at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: leaving herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C off the list entirely. Family Care of the Fox Cities includes all of them, so one appointment covers infections that would otherwise require a separate referral.

Outagamie County Public Health Division in Appleton requires an appointment for STI care, so scheduling ahead is the move, but that visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV testing alongside same-visit bacterial treatment, family planning, and HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and mpox vaccines, all on a sliding-scale fee.

Ascension Medical Group in Neenah accepts Medicaid and insurance, with a fee schedule for other payers, and tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP available on-site.
Ascension Medical Group in Neenah holds the prescription authority and the clinical relationship to initiate and maintain both PrEP and PEP, the combination that covers ongoing prevention and time-sensitive response. For anyone without a regular provider who handles HIV prevention, having both medications available within one practice closes a gap that often means going elsewhere.
The standard four-infection screen is a starting point, not the ceiling here. Ascension Medical Group tests for herpes simplex and for hepatitis A, B, and C individually: distinctions that matter because each virus has a different transmission route, vaccine profile, and treatment path, and conflating them into a single category leaves clinical decisions underinformed.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV testing. Appointments are required, and same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton has live interpretation services available for non-English languages at every appointment, so a patient navigating PrEP counseling, a new diagnosis, or a treatment plan can do it fully, not in shorthand. Clinical conversations that require precision don't lose it to a language gap.
Without Title X protections, a minor seeking STI testing or family planning often faces a gap. Parental consent requirements that delay care or prevent it entirely. As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton can provide those services to minors with legal confidentiality, closing that gap before it becomes an untreated condition.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in Appleton prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, which means ongoing HIV prevention (daily medication, follow-up labs, and dosing continuity) stays coordinated in one place rather than fragmenting across multiple providers.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Calumet County, the county that includes Sherwood, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#37 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 49% of the state
| Infection | Calumet County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 214.3 114 cases ▼ 49% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 18.8 10 cases ▼ 84% | 118.5 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 3.8 2 cases ▼ 39% | 6.2 | 16 |

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 Calumet County, chlamydia has risen from 202.1 to 214.3 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 21 to 18.8 per 100,000 (10%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 5.7 to 1.9 per 100,000 (67%).

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 Calumet County.
Local HIV snapshot
Calumet County HIV care continuum (2023)
Calumet County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Calumet County residents living with HIV, 84.6% are in care · 84.6% 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 Calumet County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Many people land in Sherwood because family already roots here: grandparents settled on acreage, parents bought near the school, and the next generation stays close, building lives around the same roads and seasons. That stability shapes how health decisions feel: when you know your neighbors and your dentist, the idea of walking into a clinic for STI testing can feel more exposed than it might elsewhere. The testing available in and around Sherwood listed on this page serves exactly this tension: each site operates under strict confidentiality, and your results remain yours alone, separate from any other health record or community network. Young adults in Sherwood (those navigating new relationships, planning futures, or simply staying alert) can access screening without broadcasting their choice.
The providers here understand that discretion matters most when everyone seems connected. Testing is straightforward and confidential, whether you're checking in after a new relationship, maintaining routine care, or responding to specific concerns. Sherwood's character as a place where people dig in for decades means that many residents value knowing their health status clearly and privately. Routine screening fits naturally into that self-knowledge, and the clinics and providers listed here support that choice without ceremony or judgment.
Getting there
At 7.55/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Sherwood 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.
