Rated 3.2 out of 5 from 21 reviews

Peter Christensen Health Center in Lac Du Flambeau works on a sliding-scale fee and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering the full standard panel (HIV by rapid or conventional test, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, herpes, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs; an appointment is required.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Second Stop

Chasing PrEP or PEP through a separate prescriber means scheduling delays, additional co-pays, and a gap between intention and protection. Peter Christensen Health Center writes both prescriptions directly, so the window between a decision and a dispensed medication doesn't open into a logistical detour.

Herpes and Hepatitis Extend the Testing Panel

Peter Christensen Health Center tests for herpes simplex and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside the standard bacterial and HIV screens. Each of those additions carries its own clinical consequence: hepatitis C, for instance, is a manageable chronic infection that goes undetected without a specific antibody draw, which this panel includes.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Oneida County tests for syphilis.

About Woodruff, WI

Woodruff's rhythm turns on the seasons: fishing guides and resort staff gear up when the lakes thaw, forestry and timber work steady through fall, and winter brings its own crew of snowmobile guides and lodge maintenance. Young adults cycle through these jobs, some staying, others moving between the lakes and larger towns. That transience, combined with the close-knit feel of the place, can make a conversation about sexual health feel complicated. Testing in and around Woodruff is listed on this page through clinics and providers who understand that confidentiality isn't a formality here, it's the foundation that lets someone get screened without worry.

The town's medical roots run deep: Dr. Kate Pelham Newcomb practiced medicine in Woodruff over a century ago, a reminder that health care in small communities has always required both skill and discretion. Today's providers carry that same commitment. Routine STI screening is straightforward, quick, and shielded by the same privacy protections that apply anywhere else.

For young adults working seasonal jobs, moving between Ruffwood Estates and Minocqua, or simply living here year-round, getting tested doesn't mean broadcasting your business. The clinics available in and around Woodruff treat screening as routine care, no judgment, no gossip, no complications.

Confidentiality & consent in Wisconsin

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Wisconsin, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
