Fulton County, where Canton, IL, is a city, showed fluctuations in the rate of HIV infections, increasing from 65 in 2014 and 2015 to 70 per 100,000 persons in 2017. The county’s public health officials made significant strides in reducing new diagnoses, recording a 35.7% decrease to a prevalence rate of 45 in 2018 and 2019. Sadly in the following year, there was a spike in the rate of infections to 57.
The Illinois Department of Public Health STD Section reported a wavy trend in the rate of Chlamydia infections among county residents, reducing from 234.7 to 175.3 in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In the following year, there was a 58.5% increase to a rate of 277.9 per 100,000 individuals. Subsequently, the rate of infections dropped to 188.8 in 2018.
The rate of Gonorrhea infections tripled from 16.2 reported in 2015 to 51.3 in the following year, succeeded by an escalation to 99.8 in 2017. Fortunately, the department of public health managed to reduce incidences of new infections by more than half to a rate of 43.2 per 100,000 persons in 2018.
On the other hand, there was a spike in early Syphilis infections in the county from nil incidences in 2015 and 2016 to a prevalence rate of 5.4 per 100,000 individuals in 2017 and 2018.
The Illinois Department of Public Health supports the Fulton County Health Department in running a comprehensive STD/HIV program that entails PEP/PrEP counseling, sex education, condom distribution, and screening to improve awareness among city and county residents. Other mitigation measures include Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT), training health care providers, and surveillance to ease HIV/STI prevention and care planning activities.
Planned Parenthood - Peoria Health Center, UnityPoint Clinic Family Medicine - Canton, and Graham Medical Group are clinics in the Canton area where city residents can access STD/HIV screening services.
Some local healthcare facilities offer free STD testing, although testing hours and availability might not be consistent, and screening could be free for some STDs, not all.
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.
