Homer Glen, IL, a village in Will County less than 40 miles from Chicago, is under threat from a serious STD outbreak that's not slowing down.
In 2014, the county reported 2,330 chlamydia cases, and in 2017, it listed an increase to 2,692 new diagnoses.
Gonorrhea is also on the rise with 366 infections in 2015 and 640 in 2017.
In 2014, it had 12 new primary and secondary syphilis cases. Two years later, in 2016, the county reported 46 infections. Also in 2014, there were 29 early syphilis diagnoses, and in 2016, it listed 81 new cases.
County health officials are concerned about the increasing number of STD infections in the area, and they're trying to stop the spread by urging sexually active individuals to get regular STI testing.
There are more than a dozen locations in and near Homer Glen that provide STD testing. Most sites also administer treatment and aftercare services.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois offers STI screenings for men and women at the Orland Park Health Center on S LaGrange Rd. This clinic is accessible by public transportation.
Another option is the Will County Health Department's Community Health Center on the corner of Dave Ave and Neal Ave in Joilet. This site is also on a public bus route.
Some clinics could offer free STD testing. These locations might charge for treatment and follow-up care. Additionally, free sites may ask for proof of income, and it might be challenging to schedule a convenient appointment.
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.
