The state of Illinois, like most of the nation, is in the middle of an upswing in STD and HIV prevalence rates. The community of O’Fallon would appear from the CDC statistics, to be beating the odds and actually decreasing their STD prevalence rate.
However, while it would seem that the rate is continuing to drop, its rate of descent is slowing rapidly. In fact, the 12.8% that the STD rate fell during that five years averages out to roughly 2.56% per year. During the year from 2017 to 2018, the prevalence rate lowered by only 1.9% and from 2018 to July of 2019 it actually rose by 6.8%.
As for O’FAllon’s HIV prevalence rate, that has continued to show a steady rise. For instance, for the five year period above, it climbed by 18.9%; more than double the rate of the state’s HIV rate.
The slowing of the STD prevalence rate’s decline indicates an increase in the number of cases O’Fallon is seeing. STDs are trying to make a comeback in our community.
Whether they are north of I-64 or south of it, O’Fallon residents looking for STD and HIV testing have several options from which to choose. These public health centers may offer those tests or might be able to refer you to a clinic that can.
Belleville, five miles south of O’Fallon, offers a number of choices. The St Clair County Health Department offices are here on Public Square. Planned Parenthood has a clinic inside Lakeland Square, Fairview Heights Health Care.
Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation Inc has two clinics convenient to O’Fallon as well. Belleville Family Health Center in Swansea and West Belleville Health Center on West Main in Belleville.
Some centers provide free STD testing that may be offered at inconvenient times, in out of the way locations, or without rapid results.
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.
