Morton Grove, a village in Cook County and near north Chicago suburb, has an increasing population. As with any area that houses more people, a heightened level of sexual activity and a higher rate of sexually transmitted disease is expected.
In the Suburban Cook County area, chlamydia cases have increased substantially since 2007. In 2007, 8,700 cases were reported, and by 2016, this increased to 11,280 cases reported per year. Of which, 584 per 100,000 cases were reported in 2007, and 784 cases per 100,000 residents were reported in 2016.
The number of people living with HIV in Cook County in 2015 was an estimated 25,623. Cook County has the highest prevalence rate in Illinois, at a rate of 586 per 100,000. Even in 2009, the HIV prevalence was high in Cook County, with 23,853 residents living with HIV, indicating a dire need for HIV prevention education, support, and assistance to HIV-positive people.
Cook County Health Department, in conjunction with local health partners, is working towards eliminating HIV transmission in the community by providing much-needed education, testing, and treatment services.
One result of the partnership between local partners and the Health Department in Cook County is the Rothstein CORE Center, one of the largest HIV/AIDS clinics in the U.S.
Alternative options available in and around Morton Grove that provides requisite testing and treatments for STDs are the Erie Family Health Center Incorporated clinic in Evanston, the Response community organization in Chicago, and the Access Community Health Network clinics throughout the region.
Wait times may be inconsistent, and appointments may be scarce, but free STD testing might be offered at some of the clinics serving Morton Grove.
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.
