Our STI & STD Testing Services
Full STI Panel Screening
Our comprehensive panel covers chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis in a single visit giving you a complete, medically accurate picture of your sexual health status without fragmented appointments or delays.
HIV Testing & Exposure Counseling
We provide rapid, confidential HIV testing with same-day results and direct clinical communication. Patients with recent potential exposure also receive evidence-based pre- and post-exposure counseling so next steps are medically clear.
Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Testing
Both infections are highly prevalent and routinely asymptomatic making provider-administered screening the only reliable way to know your status. When results are positive, treatment prescriptions are issued the same visit.
Herpes & Syphilis Screening
We perform accurate diagnostic testing for herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and syphilis, with honest result communication and an immediate structured treatment plan established whenever findings require one.
Hepatitis B & C Testing
Hepatitis B and C are serious bloodborne infections frequently transmitted through sexual contact and often undetected without screening. We include both in comprehensive sexual health care and coordinate treatment or specialist referral based on your results.
STI Treatment & Follow-Up Care
A positive result is the beginning of a solution. Our providers prescribe treatment the same visit, walk you through recovery completely, and schedule follow-up care to confirm everything has resolved and nothing requires further attention.
Common Symptoms Patients Seek STI Testing
- Unusual discharge, odor, or changes in vaginal or penile health that appeared recently
- Burning, stinging, or discomfort during urination that has no obvious cause
- Sores, bumps, blisters, or skin changes in the genital or anal area
- Pelvic pain or discomfort during sex that was not previously present
- A recent unprotected sexual encounter with an unknown or new partner
- A current or former partner has disclosed a positive STI diagnosis
- Routine sexual health screening as part of ongoing reproductive or primary care
- No symptoms but a long gap since the last time STI testing was done
- Starting a new sexual relationship and wanting a full baseline sexual health panel
- Unexplained flu-like symptoms shortly after a new or unprotected sexual encounter
What to Expect During STI Testing?
Your visit is structured to be quick, thorough, and completely private. Here is what the appointment typically covers:
- A confidential review of your sexual health history and any current symptoms
- Clinical assessment to determine which specific tests are appropriate for your situation
- Sample collection — which may include urine, blood draw, swab, or a combination depending on what is being tested
- Clear explanation of what each test screens for, how long results take, and what the process looks like from here
- Same-day or rapid results where clinically available
- Direct treatment prescription and follow-up coordination when results require it
- Guidance on next steps including retesting timelines, partner notification, and ongoing sexual health monitoring
You will not be left waiting without answers. Results are communicated clearly, with clinical context not just a number on a lab report.
STI Testing & Your Long-Term Sexual Health
A single test is a snapshot. Ongoing sexual health is a pattern and staying on top of it requires consistent, accessible care from a provider who already knows your history.
Our continued sexual health support includes:
- Treatment verification testing to confirm infections have fully cleared after treatment
- Retesting at clinically recommended intervals based on your activity and risk profile
- Monitoring for treatment-resistant strains or persistent symptoms following initial treatment
- Integration with birth control and women’s primary care services for complete reproductive health continuity
- Confidential provider access between appointments for questions or new symptoms that cannot wait
- Guidance on PrEP eligibility and HIV prevention for patients with ongoing exposure risk

Is STI Testing Covered by Insurance?
Many STI testing and treatment services are covered under major insurance plans, particularly when billed as preventive care. Our billing team reviews your specific coverage before your appointment so you know your costs in advance.
Illinois Medicaid covers a broad range of sexual health services at no cost for eligible patients. Uninsured patients are welcome and will never be turned away due to inability to pay. We connect uninsured individuals with financial assistance programs and community health resources to ensure that cost is never the reason someone delays necessary testing or treatment.
The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
How soon after potential exposure should I get tested for STIs?
It depends on the specific infection. Most STIs have a window period — the time between exposure and when a test can accurately detect the infection. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are typically detectable within one to two weeks. HIV has a window period of 18 to 45 days depending on the test used. Syphilis may take up to three weeks. If you have had a recent exposure, our providers will advise you on the right testing timeline so results are clinically reliable rather than premature.
Can I get tested without my partner knowing or being present?
Yes. Your visit is entirely your own. No information about your appointment, your results, or the fact that you came in for testing is shared with anyone including a partner without your explicit written consent. HIPAA protections cover every aspect of your visit.
What if I have no symptoms — do I still need to get tested?
Will my results appear on my insurance explanation of benefits?
