STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Crawford County, the county that includes Wauzeka, compare with Wisconsin and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~34% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#65 of 72 Wisconsin counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 10% of the state
| Infection | Crawford County | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 112.9 18 cases ▼ 73% | 422.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 6.3 1 cases ▼ 95% | 118.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 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 Crawford County, chlamydia has fallen from 155.2 to 112.9 per 100,000 (27%), gonorrhea has fallen from 24.8 to 6.3 per 100,000 (75%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6.2 to 6.2 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Crawford County.
Local HIV snapshot
Crawford County HIV care continuum (2023)
Crawford County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Crawford County residents living with HIV, 66.7% are in care · 66.7% 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 Crawford County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
School Park rises at the western edge of Wauzeka, and the neighborhoods clustered in its shadow reflect something the rent numbers confirm: housing costs here run well below the national average. That affordability context shapes how people here actually follow through on health visits, including screening they might otherwise keep postponing. Most Wauzeka households are owner-occupied, and a majority of adults are married.
Suggesting a community where established routines and stable addresses make it easier to keep appointments near home rather than juggling logistics across town. With nearly two-thirds of residents in the workforce and unemployment low, schedules are full rather than flexible, which means the convenience of choosing among Wauzeka's listed options genuinely changes whether someone fits in a test before or after a shift. Crawford County's STI numbers make the case for staying current with screening, and the range of local options means residents don't have to travel far out past River Park to find one that works.
Getting there
At 5.19/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Wauzeka 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.
