Introduction

What are the STI test options in Chicago,IL?

When the state of Illinois reports its health information, it reports Chicago and then the rest of the state minus the city.

The “Windy City” has a higher Chlamydia rate than the rest of the state as of 2016, with a rate of 1,104.6 cases per 100,000 people. Chicago also rates higher for Gonorrhea, with 402 cases per 100,000 people in the city as opposed to 165.2 cases per 100,000 people in the rest of Illinois, not counting Chicago.

The city also ranks higher in Syphilis than some nearby communities.

Testing options are available throughout the city. Public options include 7 Planned Parenthood locations on North Broadway, Ashland Avenue, Milwaukee Avenue, Halsted Street, Michigan Avenue, Chicago Avenue, and LaSalle Drive.

There are many private options as well, including an HIV testing center on Armitage Avenue and other testing centers on Randolph Street, Wabash Avenue, and more. You won’t have a problem finding one of these centers. Best of all, you can make an appointment and avoid a long stay.  You can also ask about free STD testing but you may have to show i.d. 

Most clinics do offer free parking but you might want to check ahead. Public bus routes are also available and could be a viable option. 

With so many options, you can stop worrying about your health and actually go get tested

TPAN

Overview

STD Testing at 5537 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60640, USA

Concentrated mainly on HIV, this clinic has both counselors and physicians on staff. They also have a mobile testing unit, though with this there is no guarantee that you will be able to speak to a doctor.

Test results generally take a few days but in the meantime you can take advantage of their educational programs. You can also get information on ways you can volunteer to spread the message about HIV throughout your community.

Qualifications

The clinic only accepts "walk-ins", which means you might be in for a long wait.

Testing is free, though they do appreciate any payment you might be able to give. Age is rarely an issue, though some minors may be asked to provide parental consent. In this case, it is best to call and ask before you come in if you are under 18 years of age.

Treatment Options

There are treatment options if you are positive for HIV or Hepatitis. There are also outreach programs that can help with everything from medication to counseling, therapy and additional living expenses.

A counselor is available to talk too, along with a physician. It should be noted that a doctor might not always be readily available but they will return your call as soon as possible.

Summary

Getting tested for HIV or Hepatitis can be scary. The staff here will try to put you at ease, even during your potentially long wait.

The hours are limited and when this is combined with the low or even no fee tests, you can usually expect a crowd. This is especially true between 3 pm and close.

There are several programs that can help you manage and except your diagnosis. Counselors are available and the clinic will also help with referrals.

Close to several public modes of transportation, it is not hard to get to. Parking, however is limited at best.

Center on Halsted

Overview

STD Testing at 3656 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60613, USA

Formally known as Horizons Community Services, this center has been serving the LGBTQ community since 1973.

While they do have plenty of outreach programs, they are not fortunate enough to have a lab on sight. This means that you might have to wait several days before you know your test results.

If you want to speak to a doctor, you might have to wait. However, the staff can help assist you with any concerns you might have. You will also be provided with a list of local and national numbers that can provide additional support and counseling.

Qualifications

One of the benefits of this clinic is that nothing is required to get a HIV or HCV test. Everyone is welcome to just come through the doors, however this can result in an occasional wait.

Insurance, credit cards and cash are welcome, if you can't afford the cost of the test they do have free dates. Simply check their online calendar or call the clinic phone number. They can help you get the testing and any treatment you might need.

Treatment Options

There are no treatment options at the center. They mainly focus on community education and helping those already diagnosed with HIV.

They will provide you with references, and help ensure that you receive the treatment you need. This applies whether you need a couple of visits with a physician or if it is a disease that will need to be treated for the remainder of your life.

Summary

Primarily a community outreach center for the local LGBTQ community, they do provide testing for HIV and HCV. Sometimes at little or no cost, depending on your unique situation.

A doctor may not always be available but there are trained personnel that can help. They also offer several programs that can help educate you. Some are also geared towards those recently diagnosed or are living with HIV/AIDS.

Overview

STD Testing at 29 E Madison St #1640, Chicago, IL 60602, USA

Recently upgraded, you have the advantage of testing and vaccines for some sexually transmitted infections.

A doctor is on the premise during business hours, along with other knowledgeable staff that are available to talk to you. Depending on the type of test you select, results can be ready in under 30 minutes. Otherwise, you will have to wait a few days to find out if you are positive or negative for a STI.

Qualifications

The clinic has made it easy to schedule an appointment. You can call or book online via their website. Make sure that you choose the location in Chicago, since they do have a clinic in another state. You do not want to have an appointment hundreds of miles away from home.

The cost of the testing is due when you arrive. Insurance is accepted, along with other common forms of payment. If you do meet certain income requirements, they can direct you to another clinic that offers low cost or even free testing.

Treatment Options

Once your test results are in there will be a physician available to talk to, regardless of whether you are positive or negative. If you choose a test that requires time to be processed, a clinician will make a discreet phone call to the number you provided.

Treatment is an option at the clinic or they can help with referrals if you prefer to use your own health care provider.

Regular follow-ups are also offered, along with help in knowing where to go to get your prescriptions filled.

Summary

This is a private clinic, which means free testing is seldom available. However, some of the services they do provide could make up for the cost. This is especially true if you have insurance.

There are private rooms for testing and counseling, which can help put some people at ease. Since the clinic is also located on 5th St. public transportation is a viable option if you do not want to deal with the hassle of driving and parking in the city.

Michigan Avenue Urgent Care

Overview

STD Testing at 180 Michigan Ave Ste 1605, Chicago, IL 60601, USA

Thanks to the lab onsite, results from your test typically only take a few days. You will be contacted thru the information you provided on the required forms.

There are licensed physicians at the clinic, and in most cases you will be able to speak with one before and after testing. If a physician is not immediately available, a clinician will be able to speak with you. There is also a number to call if you have any problems or concerns once you have left the clinic.

Qualifications

They accept appointments and walk-ins, so expect the clinic to be busy. Even if you have called ahead, there is no guarantee that you will get in at the time you reserved. It is actually based on a first come-first served policy. However, an appointment will ensure that you are tested that day.

There will be some forms to fill out, and payment is expected at the time of service. Insurance is welcome, along with other forms of payment. They do not have a sliding scale fee for STD testing. I.D. is also a plus, though in some cases you can still be tested without it if you can provide payment.

Treatment Options

There are treatment options available on site. If you choose to go elsewhere, they can also help with that.

While they do not fill prescriptions at the clinic, they will ensure you have everything you need to have a successful visit at the pharmacy.

A doctor will be available to discuss your test results and to help answer any questions you might have about treatment.

Summary

This walk-in clinic tries to lessen some of the load off of other health clinics by providing everything from x-rays to STD tests. While this is helpful in the community, it can also create long lines. Scheduling an appointment and filling out the forms ahead of time will not ensure that you will be seen at the time you wanted.

The staff is knowledgeable and are more than happy to help with most of your sexual health care needs. They are also located conveniently close to public transportation, so getting there is usually a breeze.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Chicago, IL

Chicago has a long and sordid history when it comes to sex. Even back in the late 1800s, the Levee area of Chicago was well known for having some of the best – and most expensive – brothels in the area. Although the area was eventually raided and shut down by the authorities, Chicago has always been a thriving market for sex workers. Today, tours of Chicago’s historic Red Light District are popular with the city’s visitors and the tour includes both historical locations as well as clubs and venues that cater to today’s locals and tourists. The Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) is also an active organization within the city, connecting sex workers with resources, support and help when they need it most.

As a fairly sex-positive city, Chicago doesn’t shy away from education and outreach projects as a way to help inform, educate and protect the public. Much of that effort has gone into educating the public when it comes to safe sex and the effects of STDs, with a particular focus on HIV and Herpes. Over the past several years, Chicago has seen a decline in HIV infection by around 15% but with a 5% increase for people aged 20-24. As a result, the city has significantly stepped up its efforts to reach out and help people obtain the information and tools they need to protect themselves and their partners with HIV testing in Chicago available through a number of clinics.

Herpes is another serious condition, though many people ignore it until the symptoms become troublesome. In 2012, Chicago ranked third in a list of the top 15 cities with the highest incidence of Herpes.   As a result, many doctor’s offices and STD Clinics offer Herpes testing in Chicago as a general rule. In fact, rates of the condition remain so high that a social club, ChicagoHClub, has become a popular way for people living with the infection to meet others and find ways to move beyond their diagnosis.

In 2013, the Chicago Board of Education began developing a well-rounded and comprehensive sexual education curriculum for Chicago Public Schools. The Chicago Public Schools is the third largest in the country and is responsible for the education of more than 400,000 students. Their new approach uses age-appropriate lessons to educate students about human sexuality, biology and how to prevent STDs and unplanned pregnancies.

Reaching out to the public and laying a foundation of high-quality sex education has been effective in reaching many Chicago residents, but there are still many people who are seen as being at high-risk for STD transmission. But determining who is most vulnerable within Chicago is often determined by the condition being examined. For HIV infection, for example, men are much more likely to be diagnosed but the reverse is true for chlamydia.

Access to confidential STD Testing is also a concern for many people in the city as local clinics are often overworked and understaffed due to the high demands of the city’s population. Still there are STD clinics which offer same day STD testing as well as public clinics which offer walk-in services such as free STD Testing based on need and income.

But with so many people in need, it’s no surprise that many of these clinics simply can’t keep up with the demand and so anonymous STD testing in Chicago is now offered by national companies which can perform the STD Test with samples sent through the mail.

Better Sexual Health in Chicago, IL

Chicago is one of the most popular cities in the country, attracting people to relocate as well as millions of visitors every year. Chicago also has a thriving and vibrant adult scene, thanks partly to its history as a city with a high-quality Red Light District as well as its accepting and welcoming attitude towards sex and sexuality. But with this enthusiastic, sex-positive attitude comes serious responsibility about STD testing and treatment as well as specific Herpes testing and HIV testing.

Obtaining an anonymous STD test in Chicago can seem difficult at first since most clinics and offices require insurance and personal information. This can put some people off, but for those who prefer confidential STD testing, there are still plenty of options they can use which will give them the answers they need without exposing their private life to public scrutiny.

STD testing is a vital part of taking control of your own physical and sexual health. Safe, confidential and comprehensive STD testing gives you the reassurance and information you need to meet any health issues head on or simply have fun with a clear conscience. Either way, it’s become the best way today’s responsible sexually active adults manage their sexual-health and physical well-being.
