STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Dodge County, the county that includes Theresa, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#13 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 82% of the state
| Infection | Dodge County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 325.3 287 cases ▼ 23% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 28.3 25 cases ▼ 76% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.9 7 cases ▼ 13% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.1 1 cases ▼ 82% | 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 Dodge County, chlamydia has risen from 224.8 to 325.3 per 100,000 (45%), gonorrhea has fallen from 48.1 to 28.3 per 100,000 (41%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.1 to 7.9 per 100,000 (618%).

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 Dodge County.
Local HIV snapshot
Dodge County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Dodge County residents living with HIV, 74.7% are in care · 68% 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 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 Dodge County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
River Bend Park sits at the quiet center of Theresa the way most things here do, unhurried, rooted, built for people who've stayed. That stability shows in the housing stock: most residents own their homes, many have for years, and the smaller renter population navigates a market where even modest monthly costs land harder when work is inconsistent. With unemployment running notably above the national floor, a meaningful slice of the workforce is between jobs or piecing together hours, which means a Tuesday afternoon clinic visit can feel like a luxury rather than a routine errand. That calculus hits hardest for younger adults (people still sorting out jobs, relationships, and what their health coverage actually covers) who also happen to represent the years when STI transmission peaks.
The good news is that the listed options give residents real range in hours, fees, and location. A household stretching $686 in rent doesn't need to absorb an unexpected lab bill on top of that, and clinics here are built around exactly that kind of budget. Finding the right fit is a matter of scanning the cards above and picking the one that actually works for your week.
Getting there
At 5.92/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Theresa 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.
