Schaumburg, IL is a northwestern suburban community of Chicago, located on the border between Cook and DuPage County. The Cook County Health department considers sexually transmitted disease to be a significant risk to the quality of life.
Of particular concern are chlamydia rates for females between the ages of 20-24. In 2016, there were 4,545 cases per 100,000, which is exceptionally high. Of even more concern is that there were 2,720 cases per 100,000 diagnosed for the 15-19 year age bracket. In addition, syphilis rates have more than doubled since 2014, with a sharp upward spike. Overall gonorrhea rates have remained steady.
The Cook County Public Health Department considers the rising number of STDs among youth to be of particular concern, as if left untreated, these diseases can cause permanent health challenges. In addition, there is an increased chance of having a baby born with an STD.
The Cook County Public Health Department encourages residents in Schaumburg to get tested, especially sexually active teens. They have established a number of clinics that may offer free STD testing. Some of these are a part of the Cook County Health and Hospitals System.
These free testing sites often have limited resources and hours. There is often a long wait and an physician may not be available. In addition, teens may need parental consent for testing. Teens may need parental permission to access public health services, and they may not be completely confidential in term of parent notification.
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.

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.
