While Bloomingdale, IL vaunts of many positive aspects, the sexual health situation in the country leaves much to be done. STD cases have increased, especially in Illinois’ counties such as DuPage.
According to an STD Summary Report by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), chlamydia incidences have been increasing since 2007; from 1,522 to 2,417 in 2016. These number represented an incident rate of 168.3 and 263.6 respectively.
Additionally, DuPage was among the few counties that recorded triple digits for gonorrhea cases. In 2016, there were 390 incidences, up from 307 in 2015. Syphilis rates rose by 236% in 2012-2016, from 1.1 to 3.7.
MSM account for a significant number of STD infections. The Start Talking. Stop HIV initiative was created to target the gay and bisexual community and urge them to seek testing services. It emphasizes on openness about one’s HIV status and insistence about using condoms.
One STD testing center you may consider is the DuPage County Health Department clinic which is located along N County Farm Rd, Wheaton. You can also visit the Roseland STI Specialty medical center on E 115th St, Chicago.
Alternatively, you can head down to W Madison St, where you’ll find the South Austin Public Health Center. Another option is the Lakeview STD Specialty Center that lies along N Clark St.
You can also count local clinics that may offer low-cost or free STD testing centers within Bloomingdale, but you might bear with some shortcomings. For instance, these health facilities may open at inconvenient times and you might be patient to wait for long hours to be served since they experience long queues. Additionally, seeing a doctor for consultation may be a challenge or may come at an extra cost.
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.

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.
