The Process
Step-by-Step Service Flow
Step
1
Reserve Your Visit
Book online in a couple clicks, or call if you’d rather talk to someone first.
Step
2
Discuss Your Concerns
Your provider Illinois-licensed, in-office or virtual asks about symptoms, when exposure might have occurred, and any relevant history.
Step
3
Choose the Right Test
Based on timing and symptoms, your provider determines whether urine, blood work, a swab, or something more thorough is called for.
Step
4
Get Ongoing Guidance
Once results are ready, our team walks you through what they mean, discusses treatment if it’s needed, and helps with telling a partner if that applies.
How Do I Know When to Get Tested?
Honestly, it varies. The infection you’re concerned about, how long it’s been since possible exposure, and whether you’re noticing symptoms all factor in. Some tests can detect infection almost right away; others require waiting a bit for accuracy. Your provider will typically ask about exposure timing, current symptoms, previous testing, pregnancy status, and whether a partner has tested positive. Depending on the answers, you might need a urine sample, bloodwork, a swab, or a repeat test down the line. Your visit at our Glenwood office is guided by your specific circumstances, not a standard timetable.
Questions Worth Bringing to Your Provider
- What tests actually make sense for me?
- Is it too early for accurate results?
- What kind of sample gets taken?
- What are these numbers or results telling me?
- Should I plan on coming back to retest?
- What symptoms mean I shouldn’t put this off?
Nothing about your visit should feel generic your provider works from your actual exposure history and symptoms. That includes staying involved after results come in, covering treatment, prevention, and partner conversations if needed.

- Can't remember your last screening
- A recent encounter has you wanting clarity
- Noticing something that feels off physically
- Discretion is important to you in this
- Returning to check on a previous result
- Know exactly who to call if it turns urgent
Our STI and STD Testing Services Include
General STI Screening
Symptoms don’t always show up, which is exactly why a screening based on your risk factors catches what might otherwise be missed.
Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Screening
A quick urine sample or swab is usually enough, with your provider choosing the method based on your sexual history.
HIV Screening
Whether it’s part of regular care or prompted by a specific event, your provider explains timing and what results actually mean.
Syphilis Screening
A single blood test covers it, with follow-up recommendations shaped by your symptoms and history.
Symptom-Based Testing
Discharge, sores, discomfort, burning any of these warrant a closer look through testing or an exam.
Results, Treatment & Continued Care
Depending on what’s found, your provider might start treatment, schedule a retest, offer prevention guidance, or help with partner notification.

- Concerned after a possible exposure
- Trying to understand unfamiliar symptoms

The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
Can I have an STI without noticing any symptoms?
Yes, quite often actually. Many infections cause no visible signs, which is why testing recommendations lean on age, sexual history, and exposure risk rather than symptoms alone.
Is a virtual visit an option for this?
Partially. Consultations and result reviews typically work over video, but collecting a sample usually requires stopping by in person.
My results were positive — what's the next step?
Your provider explains exactly what it means, lays out treatment options, and helps you figure out next steps, including how to approach telling a partner if needed.
