Right in between Chicago and Milwaukee, Kenosha is the fourth-largest city on Lake Michigan. Being as close as it is to both the Chicago Statistical Area and the Milwaukee metropolitan area, residents never have far to go to find anything an American would want. Including sexually transmitted diseases, unfortunately.
According to the Healthy Chicago HIV/STI Surveillance Report 2018, new cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea totaled nearly 42,000 for a ten-year high. Good news though, HIV diagnosis is at its lowest since 1990. In Milwaukee, according to Angela Hagy—Director of Disease Control and Environmental Health for the City of Milwaukee Health Department—there has been a 13% increase in HIV compared to 2016, a 29% increase in syphilis, a 12% increase in gonorrhea, and only a 0.5% hike in chlamydia.
Kenosha, right in the middle, manages to dodge the majority of that, but still finds its numbers far too high for a city of its size.
At a total of 690 STD cases per 100,000 residents, it’s higher than the national average but at 1,000 cases per 100,000 less than Milwaukee, and 600 less than Chicago, Kenosha is fighting back.
Mostly through frequent testing. With a Planned Parenthood on 63rd Street and an AIDS resource center off the 32, you too can do your part to keep Kenosha healthy.
Some facilities offer free STD testing (for eligible patients) and can have your results in as little as 1-2 days.
To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Kenosha clinics with our easy-to-read chart.
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.

Abstinence is also taught as the best method for preventing pregnancies and the spread of STDs. Some school districts do include information on the use of contraceptive but it is extremely limited.
Even though studies have shown that cities that have comprehensive sex education programs in place in the schools tend to have lower STD rates, officials in Kenosha are still reluctant to switch from their abstinence based classes. Some of this is due to a reluctance to discuss this sensitive subject, along with a belief that conversations about sex are best left up to the parents’ discretion.
Many teens and young adults also do not realize that STDs can be spread through other methods. Regular Herpes testing in Kenosha could go a long way towards preventing the spread. Regular HIV testing in Kenosha will help lower the city’s high rate of infection, along with preventing it from spreading to other residents.
Thanks to the presence of the universities the city of Kenosha has a relatively diverse population when classes are in session. During the summer breaks the population does decrease, but this does not mean that the number of STDs reported goes down as well.
The colleges do help to account for the substantial number of young adults that test positive. A lack of comprehensive sexual education classes in the public high schools helps to ensure that college students do not understand the risk they are putting themselves in, and many have never been told that they need to be tested for STIs on a regular basis.
As STD continues to rise it becomes more important than ever for you to take care of your sexual health. Not only does this include using protection every time you have sex, but also making sure that you are tested regularly for all transmittable diseases. There are STI clinics in the city for residents to take advantage of, and know that your sexual health is okay.
