Formerly known as Wood's Corner, Crete, IL, is a suburb of Chicago to the south. The village is in Will County, where the number of residents newly diagnosed with HIV dropped from 45 in 2019 to 11 in 2020.
There was an upsurge in STD infections in the county between 2017 and 2018. Chlamydia incidences as of December 2017 were 2,692, escalating to 2,928 in 2018.
In the same way, the case count of reported Gonorrhea occurrences went up from 640 in 2017 to 714 at end-year 2018.
Also, the 21 Primary and Secondary Syphilis incidences reported by the county health officials at the end of 2017 rose to 28 in 2018.
STD/HIV prevention measures instigated by the Will County Health Department include surveillance and treatment of confirmed untreated Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia contacts, educational presentations at schools, and confidential and anonymous partner notification and treatment referrals. It also operates a PrEP clinic for high-risk HIV-negative clients.
Untreated STDs may result in infertility in some cases. You want to ensure you aren't a victim by getting tested at any free STD testing site in the village. But remember, free services come with costs as well. You'll likely have to wait longer before you can get your results. The tests, again, may not be comprehensive.
Reproductive health clinics, such as Planned Parenthood - Flossmoor Health Center, offer competent HIV/STD services in Crete, IL. Other clinics offering such services may include Franciscan Physician Network Dyer South Family Health Center, UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial, and Midwest Express Clinic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.
