Round Lake Beach, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago in Lake County is dealing with a dangerous STD outbreak.
Chlamydia cases are rising. In 2007, Lake County reported 2,118 new infections, and in 2016, it increased to 3,042.
The county had 469 new gonorrhea infections in 2007 and 484 in 2016. Additionally, primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses are also going up. In 2007, there were only 8 new cases. In 2016, it increased four times to 28.
There are 19,704 people living with HIV in Chicago. In 2017, there were 742 new diagnoses. 84 % of the new cases between 2013 and 2017 were male.
Illinois health officials are concerned about the number of new HIV infections in Lake County and the Chicago area. The metro makes up 72% of the entire state’s HIV/AIDS rate. They hope through awareness, education, testing, and treatment communities can reduce the infection rate.
Round Lake Beach and the surrounding areas have many sites that provide comprehensive STD testing. Most facilities offer educational materials, treatment, and follow-up care.
One option is the Lake County Health Department on Dodge Ave in Waukegan. It also operates a clinic at the North Chicago Health Center on 14th St. This location is accessible by a public bus route.
The Cook County Health Department provides STI screenings at the Arlington Heights Health Center on N Arlington Heights Rd.
Free STD testing is possible with some locations. These places may ask for proof of income and walk-in appointments might not be available.
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.
