Surrounded by county forest preserves on nearly all sides, the village of Addison is part of DuPage County. Southeast of O’Hare airport on the western edge of the Chicago metro area, Addison retains a rural feel on the banks of the Salt Creek.
However, this does not insulate them from the growing health problem of rising STD rates. In fact, from 2014 to 2018, the prevalence rate for STDs in Addison and DuPage County rose by 47.4%. Chlamydia and Syphilis saw the largest growth during that period.
Conversely, during that five-year period, Addison’s HIV prevalence rate fell by 2.5%. This is in direct opposition to Illinois’ rate which rose by 10%.
DuPage County, including Addison, is in the middle of massive growth in STDs rates throughout our communities.
While the DuPage County Health Department has a location in Addison, that office does not list STD and HIV testing among its services. Rather, those services are offered at their Wheaton location on North County Farm Road.
In addition, Addison residents can visit the Addison Family Health Center on Lake Street for testing. This is an Access Community Health Network campus that may offer STD and HIV services to the public.
Planned Parenthood’s closest office is the Austin Health Center on Chicago Avenue in Chicago. They also list STD and HIV testing services among their offerings.
Some clinics may offer free STD testing. However, these services may not be comprehensive, might charge for a doctor consultation, or may not provide immediate results.
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.
