Ascension Medical Group in Appleton tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a fee-based sliding scale with insurance and Medicaid accepted. Appointments are required; bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and PrEP and PEP are prescribed on-site.
Ascension's panel includes herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside HIV and the core bacterial infections. Because the lab work is handled within the same medical group, results feed directly into treatment decisions rather than sitting in a diagnostic gap.
Direct-acting antiviral regimens for hepatitis C, drugs like sofosbuvir-based combinations, require ongoing monitoring, and Ascension Medical Group carries both the prescribing and follow-up in-house. That continuity means viral load tracking and treatment adjustments happen within one clinical record, not across disconnected providers.
For someone paying cash, without a regular primary care provider, or needing PrEP started without a referral chain, Ascension Medical Group holds the prescribing authority in-house. Both PrEP and PEP are available as standing clinical services, meaning the prescription and the initial counseling happen in the same appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Outagamie County, the county that includes Shiocton, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#17 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 76% of the state
| Infection | Outagamie County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 265 512 cases ▼ 37% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 49.7 96 cases ▼ 58% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.2 10 cases ▼ 43% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.6 3 cases ▼ 74% | 6.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.2 10 cases ▼ 65% | 14.7 | 29.5 |

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 Outagamie County, chlamydia has fallen from 303.1 to 265 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 82.9 to 49.7 per 100,000 (40%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.1 to 5.2 per 100,000 (148%).

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 Outagamie County.
Local HIV snapshot
Outagamie County HIV care continuum (2023)
Outagamie County recorded 4.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Outagamie County residents living with HIV, 85.5% are in care · 77.9% 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 Outagamie County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Shiocton's working population tends toward steady trades: manufacturing, skilled labor, the kind of work that builds a paycheck and keeps people rooted. That same commitment to routine care (the annual checkup, the preventive visit) extends naturally to STI screening, a straightforward health step that fits into any schedule. Testing clinics and providers serving Shiocton offer the confidentiality and matter-of-fact approach that fits a community where people value their privacy and their time. Results remain between you and your healthcare provider, with no unexpected ripple effects.
Young adults in their late teens through thirties make up a significant presence in Shiocton, a demographic for whom routine screening is most relevant. Whether someone is settling into a new relationship, managing an active dating life, or simply keeping their health on track, knowing one's status costs nothing in peace of mind and everything in clarity. Testing in and around Shiocton, listed on this page, can be arranged quickly and without fuss. Shiocton's modest cost of living and community roots mean many residents stay put, building long-term lives here.
That stability makes confidential health care feel less like an afterthought and more like part of the ordinary business of staying well. A screening visit is no more complicated than any other appointment, and far more useful than worrying in silence.
Getting there

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.
