It is documented that in 2015 there were only 606 people living with HIV in Dupage County, although in Cook County there are over 25,500 people currently living with HIV. As Barlett is located in both Dupage and Cook Counties, these statistics indicate that residents in the area have a high risk of catching HIV and STDs
As there are such high rates of HIV among residents in Cook County, health officials urge those living in Bartlett to undergo regular STD and HIV tests.
In 2018 Cook County experienced nearly 700 cases of Chlamydia per every 100,000 residents. In addition, HIV is at an all-time high in Cook County and Bartlett. Those most at risk of contracting HIV in Barlett are men who engage in male-to-male sexual contact.
As a result of this worrying data, health officials in Cook County and Bartlett have implemented a number of initiatives to limit the spread of disease and educate local residents. An example of these initiatives is the funding that the state has received from the president in an aim to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. Furthermore, anonymous and free STD tests and educational programs have been made more accessible for residents of Cook County.
Whilst HIV and STDs are becoming increasingly common in Bartlett and Cook County, health officials in the area hope to have eradicated the STD and HIV epidemic by 2030 and are promoting the use of STD and HIV testing services. Therefore, there are a number of public testing centers in the Barlett area including Access Community Health Network (Martin T Russo Family Health Center), Renz Addiction Counseling Center (HIV Prevention Program), and Open Door Health Center of Illinois (Elgin Health Center). There are also a number of private clinics available locally.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.

Within the state of Illinois, there has been an increase in Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. There has also been an increase in HIV and AIDS. According to the State and County Specific HIV and AIDS Incidence and Prevalence Update as of March 2017 there were 108 new HIV cases and 34 new AIDS cases in Cook county. This is an increase of 22.7% for HIV cases and 11.7% for AIDS. In DuPage County, Cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea rose, and syphilis, which was once nearly non-existent, has returned in full force.
As of 2014 the projected growth rate for Chlamydia cases was 413.9 per a 100,000 population. The rate for non-Hispanic Blacks was ten times higher than for non-Hispanic Whites and 3 times greater than the rate for Hispanics. The rates were also highest among 20-24-year-old females. However, when compared to the rates in Chicago and the United States overall, the growth rate for Chlamydia cases was lower. In DuPage County, there were 307 reported cases of Chlamydia.
The rate of growth for Gonorrhea decreased from 2014 to 2015 within Cook County and was lower than the projected outcome. The projected outcome was 257.0 per a 100,000 population and the actual outcome was 213.0 per a 100,000 population. The highest rates were in females aged 20-24 years. The rate for non-Hispanic Blacks was 25 times higher than the rate for non-Hispanic Whites and almost 10 times higher than the rate for Hispanics.
The growth rate for Primary and Secondary Syphilis has remained somewhat even since 2005, growing very little. The rate of growth was 3.0 per a 100,000 population. 88% of the cases were male. This fell below the expected outcome. 58% of the cases reported in 2014 were non-Hispanic Black, 22% were non-Hispanic White, and 17% were Hispanic.

Within the local system, students are facing the same issue as in other schools across the country. However, educators in Illinois seem to be more determined to teach medically sound facts than those in some other states. In August of 2013, Bill HB 2675 was passed. This piece of legislation prohibits abstinence only education within public schools. If schools decide to not include comprehensive information they can choose to not have a sexual education course at all.
Located about a half an hour from Bartlett in Hinsdale is the Robert Crown Center for Health Education. This is a non-profit organization that provides medically accurate curriculum for both teachers and parents. Resources are divided by grade levels and consist of both sexual awareness information as well as information on STI’s and HIV / AIDS. They also host special community geared toward educating teens about sexual health.
Sixteen minutes away from Bartlett is the The Open Door Health Center which is located in Elgin, Illinois. This health center also health education pertaining to sexual well-being. They also provide condoms.
There is a Planned Parenthood about 37 minutes south of Bartlett in Aurora, IL. They offer sexual health education both online and within their office. This location also offers condoms at their location.
Males are also more impacted by STI’s and HIV / AIDS than females. In 2014 there were 950 male cases reported in Cook County and DuPage County reported 88 cases. Female cases were fewer by more than half. Males also had a lower graduation rate in comparison to females. In 2015, there were 63,222 male graduates as opposed to 89,973 female graduates in both counties combined.
Additionally, Black, non-Hispanics also had a lower graduation rate, falling below White, non-Hispanics and Latinos. In 2015, there were 77,048 White, non-Hispanic graduates, 21,948 Latino graduates, and 21,442 Black, non-Hispanic graduates. The Black, non-Hispanic graduation rate was only 14.9% in comparison to the White, non-Hispanic rate which was 53.5%. This low graduation rate could possibly correlate with the high amount of Black, non-Hispanic males infected with STI’s and HIV / AIDS.
In contrast to some other areas within the Unites States, there did not seem to be a correlation between ethnicity / poverty and the HIV rate. For example, White, non-Hispanics make up the greatest demographic of those living below the poverty level. However, there are 6.4 times more Black, non-Hispanic males within the state living with a disease and 18.7 more Black, non-Hispanic females. There could be a correlation between the number of cases reported in DuPage County and the number of Black, non-Hispanics that have a lower income in comparison to other demographics.
There could also be a correlation between the number of Chlamydia cases reported and the fact that White, non-Hispanics make up the greatest number of individuals living below poverty level. In 2012, 832 cases of Chlamydia were reported in relation to White, Non-Hispanics. This ethnic demographic had 713 individuals living below the poverty level.
It is generally recommended that you call ahead to confirm whether you will be required to make an appointment. However, you usually can just walk in. When you call you can also verify that they offer the test you require. For example, some clinics may test for HIV but not Gonorrhea. Most clinics also take mainstream insurance plans, but it is recommended you confirm they take yours as well.

Those living in Bartlett, Illinois have adequate resources, testing, and treatment for the population it has. What the school setting is lacking, local programs have tried to educate the community about STI’s and HIV / AIDS. While there is no Planned Parenthood within the city limits of Bartlett, there is a center in nearby Aurora. Bartlett also has local and nearby clinics where testing and treatment is provided. Demographics and statistics suggest that Black, non-Hispanics and White, non-Hispanics are most likely to contract an STI or HIV / AIDS. It could be argued that this is a result of the percentage White, non-Hispanics living in poverty, and Black, non-Hispanics receiving a lower salary when compared to other ethnicities. Regardless of the statistics, the best way to prevent STI’s is to either remain abstinent or practice safe sex with your partner. Bartlett also provides several online resources that help educate about STI’s. If you believe that you might have a STI, it is important that you get tested immediately.
