Individual STD Tests available in Chicago, IL:
HIV Blood Test
The CDC has reported that about 1.2 million people in the United States alone are infected with HIV and that 25% of them have no idea that they are infected. The disease is commonly transmitted through sexual contact without protection, breast milk, used needles, breast milk and an infected mother giving birth to her child.
Recent Exposure STD Testing
If you believe that you may have been exposed to an STD, it is important to get tested immediately. Recent Exposure STD Testing can find an infection in as few as 28 days from the exposure. Early detection through recent exposure STD testing is absolutely crucial to taking care of the infection rapidly and will calm your mind.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
Hepatitis B has a range of effects on infected patients from a weak illness to a far more serious, life lasting illness. This infection can occur through sexual contact or through spreading the use of contaminated syringes or needles.
Herpes Simplex Virus (I.II, IgG) Blood Test
Two types of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) cause the STD known as genital herpes. Oral herpes, a disease of the lips and mouth, is typically caused by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). It is also identified as “cold sores” or “fever blisters.” While herpes simplex 1 hasn't caused genital herpes in the past, this has recently begun to change, especially among the sexually active youth. Even with this recent change, however, most genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). You can catch herpes simplex virus through direct contact with contagious sores or bodily fluids from a carrier.
Syphilis – Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Blood Test
Spread through unprotected sexual contact with an infected person, syphilis is a contagious disease with symptoms that are not unique to only it. Syphilis can cause severe, irreparable damage to crucial body organs like the brain and heart. This damage can ultimately lead to death. However, it is a treatable disease with antibiotics such as penicillin.
Hepatitis C Blood Test
Spread through the exchange of bodily fluids, hepatitis C frequently is asymptomatic. It is a treatable condition, however, and it is crucial for it to be detected early in order to prevent liver damage and possible liver failure. Approximately 200 million people in the world are affected by this particular disease.
Chlamydia Test
Chlamydia is transmitted from infected individuals through oral, vaginal and anal sex. Most people who are infected are unaware as they show no or few symptoms. Frequently, the disease is only uncovered after STD testing. The risk of having chlamydia is increased by the number of sexual partners an individual has.
Gonorrhea Test
Gonorrhea is a bacteria which thrives in the eyes, throat, mouth, anus, urethra, and reproductive tract. Often, gonorrhea is undetected; a tenth of all males, and half of all females, exhibit no symptoms. Severe problems can occur if gonorrhea isn't dealt with early.
If you think you may need an STD test, give us a call. Our nurses are on hand to discuss the various STD tests that are available. They are trained to walk you through what you need to know and determine if you need to be tested. By asking questions and finding out about your situation, they will tell you what test(s) you should get done. After you have been tested, our nurses are still there for you to discuss your results with you. If treatment is needed, they will inform you about the best course for you to follow.
Our Health Testing Centers follow a strict code of confidentiality. You may choose to come here under an alias, or you can always use your own name. This is different from a doctor’s office or clinic you may go to. When you get tested at one of these, you are tested under your own name and the test and the results become part of your permanent medical record. Another difference is that we do not require a physical exam as part of your testing process. If you go to a clinic or doctor’s office, you will most likely be subject to a physical. The results of your test are completely private when using our services. You are the only one who knows the results, unless you choose to share them with someone else. Because the labs that do our testing are also used for other tests, no one will be able to guess the reason for your visit. Our services are quick and you can expect to know the outcome of your tests within three working days.
