In person or on a call, your Illinois-licensed provider asks about symptoms, when exposure might have happened, prior infections, and anything you want clarified.
Step

Choose the Right Test
Your provider matches your symptoms and exposure timing to decide between urine, blood, a swab, or a more thorough look.
Step
4
Get Ongoing Guidance
Once results are back, our team explains what they mean, discusses treatment where needed, and assists with notifying a partner if relevant.
How Do I Know When to Get Tested?
Timing depends on which infection is on your mind, how recently exposure occurred, and any symptoms present, if there are any at all. Some infections turn up on tests within days; others need more time to be caught reliably. Your provider will likely ask about your exposure window, current symptoms, prior testing, pregnancy status, and whether a partner has tested positive. Testing could mean a urine sample, bloodwork, a swab, or a follow-up test later on. At our Markham office, your care is mapped to your actual situation, not a set schedule.
Questions Worth Bringing to Your Provider
- Which tests are relevant to my case?
- How long should I wait to test?
- What sample type will be collected?
- What are my results actually saying?
- Should I schedule a retest?
- Which symptoms shouldn’t wait?
Your care should follow your real situation, not a routine checklist. From testing to treatment, your provider stays involved handling results, prevention, and what a partner might need told.

Our STI and STD Testing Services Include
General STI Screening
Most infections don’t come with obvious signs. Screening tailored to your history and risk factors can uncover what might go unnoticed.
Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Screening
Typically handled with a urine sample or swab. Your provider decides based on your sexual history.
HIV Screening
Sometimes routine, sometimes tied to a specific exposure. Either way, your provider covers timing, results, and what happens after.
Syphilis Screening
One blood draw is usually enough, with recommendations shaped by symptoms, pregnancy status, exposure, and prior test history.
Symptom-Based Testing
Discharge, sores, pelvic discomfort, burning, or irritation all deserve attention through testing, an exam, treatment, or a combination.
Results, Treatment & Continued Care
Depending on findings, next steps could include treatment, a confirming retest, prevention guidance, partner notification support, or a referral elsewhere.
Common Reasons People Schedule STI Testing
- Scheduling a standard screening
- Coming in following possible exposure
- Wanting answers about new symptoms
- Responding to a partner's notification
- Circling back on earlier results
- Wanting testing kept completely private
- Getting checked before a new relationship
- Keeping up with preventive care habits
The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
Can an STI be present without any symptoms?
Yes, and it’s fairly common. Many infections don’t cause noticeable signs, which is why testing decisions rely on age, sexual history, exposure risk, and pregnancy status — not symptoms alone.
Can testing be done through telehealth?
Yes. Consultations and result discussions can often happen virtually, though certain sample collections will still require an in-person visit.
What should I do if my test comes back positive?
Your provider explains what the result means, reviews treatment options, and helps coordinate next steps, including partner notification if it applies. You won’t have to navigate it alone.
