Clinics running a basic panel test for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia and stop there. Leaving herpes and all three hepatitis strains unaddressed. Ascension Medical Group tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB alongside the core four.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fond du Lac County, the county that includes Waupun, 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.
#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 |

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.

Data & references
Local context
The Waupun Heritage Museum sits as a quiet reminder of how long this town has valued straightforward, no-nonsense living, and that same directness applies to sexual health. STI testing in and around Waupun reflects a community where affordability matters and privacy is treated as a given, not a favor. Clinics and providers listed on this page understand that young adults moving through their twenties and thirties often need screening as part of routine care, without fanfare or judgment. Testing access here avoids the pretense found in larger centers. A visit for STI screening happens on the same practical footing as any other health appointment: you show up, the process is handled discreetly, and results come back to you alone.
The modest cost of living that defines Waupun extends to the clinics serving it, meaning expense rarely becomes the barrier it might elsewhere. Whether you're establishing care in a new job, managing your health between partners, or simply staying current with screening, the providers in Waupun keep the focus where it belongs. On your health and your privacy. No clinic here operates under the assumption that you owe anyone an explanation for seeking a test.
Getting there
At 7/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Waupun generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
