Carpentersville, a village in Kane County, is seeing a familiar upward trend in STD prevalence, similar to the rest of the US. The state of Illinois is ranked 13th, 16th and 12th, for the amount of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis cases respectively. As for HIV, the amount of new cases has been decreasing. There are still new cases however. In 2017, for example, there were 1,255 new HIV diagnoses.
Kane County has a lower incidence rate than both state and country. In Kane County in 2014, the chlamydia incidence rate was 236.2 cases per 100,000. The state average was 515.6 per 100,000, and the national average was 451.6 per 100,000.
In Kane County in 2018, only 40,3% of unmarried adults between the ages of 18 and 64 reported that they used a condom in their previous sexual intercourse. This increases the chance of passing on STD’s.
There are a number of private and public testing centers. Public options include the Renz Addiction Counseling Center on American Way, or the Elgin Health Center on Larkin Ave. These centers both provide HIV testing.
Other centers include the Martin T Russo Family Health Center on Gary Ave, the Access Northwest Community Family Health Center on Arlington Heights Rd, or the Addison Family Health Center on Lake St.
If you are worried about costs, you should know that some clinics may provide free STD testing. The downside is that there may not be doctor consultation available and there may not be any prescriptions available if you are tested positive.
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.
