Every test, every treatment, every conversation at Anchor of Hope runs at no charge, which means the decision to come back for follow-up care or a repeat screen is never complicated by what it will cost.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fond du Lac County, the county that includes St. Cloud, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#14 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 81% of the state
| Infection | Fond du Lac County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 305 317 cases ▼ 28% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 70.2 73 cases ▼ 41% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.8 4 cases ▼ 58% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.9 2 cases ▼ 69% | 6.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 21.2 22 cases ▲ 44% | 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 Fond du Lac County, chlamydia has fallen from 338 to 305 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 94.1 to 70.2 per 100,000 (25%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.9 to 3.8 per 100,000 (31%).

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 Fond du Lac County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fond du Lac County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fond du Lac County recorded 5.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fond du Lac County residents living with HIV, 73.7% are in care · 68.4% 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 Fond du Lac County tests for syphilis.

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.
