In western Milwaukee, residents of Wauwatosa are so close to the Chicago Statistical Area and the Milwaukee metropolitan area that residents never have far to go to find anything an American would ever want. But you know what they say about too much of a good thing…
According to the Healthy Chicago HIV/STI Surveillance Report 2018 (The most comprehensive and up to date study in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor), new cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea totaled just shy of 42,000 for a ten-year high.
Good news there though; HIV diagnosis is at its lowest point since 1990 thanks mostly to early detection and an improved HIV care continuum. In Milwaukee, the Director of Disease Control and Environmental Health for the City of Milwaukee Health Department stated that there has been a 13% increase in HIV compared to 2016, a 29% increase in syphilis, a 12% increase in gonorrhea, and only a 0.5% hike in chlamydia.
Wauwatosa, right in that region, is included in Milwaukee’s numbers. At a total of 1680 STD cases per 100,000 residents in 2017, it’s almost triple the national average. A rate of over 400 cases higher than Chicago. Wauwatosa is fighting back though. Mostly through frequent testing, health programs, and the use of a barrier—like condoms—in sexual intercourse.
To that end, there is a Quest Diagnostics and an Any Lab Test Now, both off of North Mayfair Road. Just north or south of exit 41. Some clinics in the region can offer sliding scale payment options, or even free STD testing for qualified patients, and might have your results and peace of mind delivered in 1-2 days.
To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Wauwatosa clinics with our easy-to-read chart.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.

8500 W Capitol Dr, Milwaukee, WI 53222, USA
High rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are alerting public health officials in your area to a need for increased preventative education.
With sexually transmitted disease education a standard part now of middle school curriculum across the United States, the efforts at education have not changed the high rates of STIs in Milwaukee.
The Wauwatosa Health Department maintains an Information and Referral Nurse Line. A public health nurse will answer your questions or provide information about STDs, testing, and treatments.
As Milwaukee’s Commissioner of Health, Bevan Baker has great concerns over the large number of cases of STIs in the area. He likes to provide young people with what he calls a reality test as part of their education. If you are sitting in a row, he asks you to look to your right. That person has chlamydia. Look to your left. That person has gonorrhea. If neither one has an STI, then probably you do.
We see in the Milwaukee area the idea that a comprehensive approach is best for sex education. Milwaukee public schools started a comprehensive curriculum for sex education. Teen birth rates in Milwaukee dropped after implementation of the curriculum with the goal of reducing teen birth rates to historic lows. The goal was a 46% reduction in birth rates for girls aged 15 to 17. The United Way of Greater Milwaukee and key partners set their ambitious goal to cut teen births.
Milwaukee has come a long way. During the 1980s and 1990s, the city ranked among the highest in the nation in teen births. The numbers are improving. Most improvement came since community partners made reducing teen birth rates their mission.
Demographics play a role in the problems with STIs in your city, county, and state with the problems especially acute in the Milwaukee area having some of the most cases and highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis in the nation.
We see that STIs rates are high among young people and that when teens in the Milwaukee area were given the facts about contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and abstinence, young people began to wait longer before they had sex and reduced the number of partners they had.
A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Youth Risk Behavior survey showed that 40% of Wisconsin high school students had had sex.
With teen pregnancy rates coming down in your area, this is good because an early pregnancy increases the chances that the young mother and her child will grow up in poverty.
There is no one reason why gonorrhea numbers are so high but a recent public health official cited poverty and drug use as being contributing reasons.
Poverty can lead to homelessness which could lead to couch surfing according to the public official. This can lead to being forced to have sex to have a place to stay. Victims do not feel that can even discuss the use of a condom.
Drug use can go the same way. If someone is addicted to drugs they may not have the money when they have to get their fix. That can mean giving away their body.
STIs are highest among poor black and gay males but we are now seeing STIs grow in more affluent areas. STIs also affect young girls who are white.
As we see heroin spread to other areas we see those addicted to drugs put themselves into risky and dangerous situations. This is so that they can get high. The set themselves up to be a statistic. We know that STIs have no economics or social barriers.
There are several resources in your area for STI testing. Remember also that the Wauwatosa Health Department Information and Referral Nurse Line connects you with a public health nurse. This nurse can answer your questions and provide additional information about STI testing.
STD testing is widely available in your community. A healthcare provider such as your doctor can provide you with education, testing, and treatment. If you do not have a healthcare provider, many area family planning clinics, walk-in clinics, and urgent care facilities provide testing and treatment including the Aurora Advanced Healthcare Mayfair Walk in Clinic. St Joseph-Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare: Urgent Care is another option as is the Waukesha County Health Department: Walk-In STD Clinic.
The Waukesha County Health Department: STD and HIV Clinic can help you as well. Consider also the BESTD Clinic and Keenan Central Health Walk In Clinic. The options are many.
Planned Parenthood/Milwaukee Northwest is another option for you with the facility providing STD testing, treatments, and education, including coverage for chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, and more with testing and diagnosis only for HIV and STD prevention via condoms and dental dams.
If you are not comfortable going to Planned Parenthood, you could go to a service such as Any Lab Test Now. This service provides a number of tests including thyroid, allergy, drug, nutrition, and STD tests such as early detection HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes, STD panel, chlamydia (DNA, urine), chlamydia and gonorrhea (nucleic acid amplification), gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomonas (female and male).
Another option is STD Check which offers a free consultation with a doctor. With this type of service, you order online, go to a lab, then get your results. Results come in 1 to 2 days. The testing is confidential. Tests are FDA-approved, which is not true of all testing services. This group claims to offer the most comprehensive tests available with a 10-Test Panel that will test for all major STDs. They also claim they are the only company that offers hepatitis A tests in their panels. Satisfaction is 100 percent guaranteed. Someone is available to answer questions 24/7.
If you are not sure which tests to request, this service provides recommendations for STD and HIV screening, recognizing that there are many STDs, and it can be confusing to know which to get tested for. The STD Test Recommender helps you better determine which tests should be a top priority for you based on health related questions. These recommendations are based on national health guidelines, your daily lifestyle, and other factors, plus the information you provide is 100 percent private and confidential.
Whether you go to Milwaukee Northwest/Planned Parenthood, a counsellor or nurse at an area high school, an online service, or a clinic or hospital, you can find in your area information about STDs, testing, and treatment.
While STD rates are high in the greater Milwaukee area, help is available in your city in the way of testing and treatment that is confidential, discreet, compassionate, and effective.
Consider how the staff at these facilities is trained to help someone like you, especially with the staff at Milwaukee Northwest/Planned Parenthood or any other facility reminding you to check your health, improve it, and keep yourself healthy by always using a condom.
