The Process
Step-by-Step Service Flow
Step
1
Schedule Your Appointment
Book online or by phone at a time that works same-day and same-week slots available, evenings and weekends included.
Step
2
Complete Your Intake
We ask what’s clinically relevant recent exposures, symptoms, your sexual and health history the way a provider asks, not the way that makes people wish they’d said less.
Step
3
Testing & Sample Collection
A licensed Illinois provider collects what’s needed blood draw, swab, or both quickly and privately, with every step explained before it happens.
Step
4
Results, Treatment & Follow-Up
Your provider explains what each result means, what it doesn’t mean, and what comes next whether that’s monitoring, treatment, referral, or simply knowing where you stand.

- Any patient with recent unprotected sex or a new or multiple partners
- Patients with symptoms sores, blisters, unusual fatigue, jaundice, or skin changes that haven't been explained yet
- Someone whose partner disclosed a positive result or potential recent exposure
- Patients considering PrEP or currently on PrEP who require routine HIV monitoring
- Anyone who has never been tested and simply wants to know where they stand
- Patients with a history of injection drug use or other hepatitis B or C risk factors
- Sexually active adults who include HIV, herpes, and hepatitis in their regular sexual health screening
- Insured, Medicaid, and uninsured patients coverage confirmed before your appointment
Our HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis Testing Services Include
HIV Testing & Counseling
Rapid same-visit HIV testing with results explained directly by your provider not handed over as a number without context. We cover what a reactive result means clinically, what confirmatory testing looks like, and whether PrEP is worth discussing for your ongoing risk level all in the same appointment.
Herpes Type-Specific Testing
Herpes testing carries more clinical nuance than most patients expect going in and more than most providers take time to explain. We cover what type-specific testing actually confirms, what a positive result means for your health and your relationships in practical terms, and what management looks like from here, including what disclosure conversations realistically involve.
Hepatitis B Screening
Hepatitis B can cause significant liver damage for years without producing a single noticeable symptom. We screen based on your risk factors, explain what a positive result means for your long-term liver health, and coordinate specialist referral when ongoing management is clinically indicated.
Hepatitis C Screening
Hepatitis C is one of the most underdiagnosed infections in the country in part because it rarely announces itself until damage has already accumulated. We screen, confirm findings with appropriate follow-up testing, and coordinate specialist referral when the result calls for it.
PrEP Eligibility Evaluation & Prescribing
For patients at ongoing HIV exposure risk, we provide same-visit PrEP eligibility evaluation reviewing your risk profile, ruling out active infection, and initiating prescribing with built-in follow-up monitoring. Starting PrEP should not require navigating three separate appointments before anything happens.
PEP Consultation
For patients with a recent high-risk HIV exposure, PEP post-exposure prophylaxis is a time-sensitive option that needs to begin within 72 hours of exposure. We provide same-visit PEP consultations, explain exactly how it works and what it requires, and initiate care without delay.

The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
I had a potential HIV exposure a few weeks ago. Is it too late for PEP and how do I know if I need to test now?
PEP — post-exposure prophylaxis — must begin within 72 hours of a high-risk exposure to be effective, so if it has been more than three days since the exposure you are describing, that window has passed. What matters now is testing at the right time. HIV is generally detectable within 18 to 45 days of exposure depending on the test used — fourth-generation combination tests can detect most infections within 18 to 45 days, with a conclusive result at 90 days. We factor your exact exposure timing into what we recommend and tell you directly whether testing today gives you a reliable result or whether a follow-up test at a later date is the more accurate approach.
I tested positive for herpes. What does that actually mean for my life going forward?
It means less than the initial reaction to that result usually feels like — and more than a brief appointment typically has time to address. Herpes is a manageable, chronic condition that the majority of people carrying it have no idea they have. A positive result tells you a strain is present — it does not tell you when you acquired it, from whom, or how frequently outbreaks will occur, if at all. We walk through what your specific result means for your health, what suppressive therapy involves if you choose it, and what disclosure conversations actually look like in practice — because those are the questions that matter most after the initial shock of a positive result, and they deserve real answers.
What is the difference between HIV testing and a hepatitis panel — are they the same thing?
I've been on PrEP for a while but I haven't had consistent follow-up testing. Is that a problem?
