You might expect Orland Park to share Chicago’s STD rates, but most of suburban Cook County has lower STD rates than Chicago does.
In 2016, suburban Cook County had a chlamydia rate of 461.1 per 100K people. This is still high. Women aged 20–24 had the largest share of cases, followed by females aged 15–19.
Health officials urge all sexually active people to get tested often, as chlamydia and many other STIs can be asymptomatic, especially at the beginning. Left untreated, chlamydia can damage a woman’s reproductive system. Orland Park’s chlamydia rate was even lower than suburban Cook County’s—under 199.2.
But make sure you get tested so you can be treated if you’re among that number.
Orland Park also had a relatively low gonorrhea rate for 2016—under 21.9 per 100K people, and a primary and secondary syphilis rate under 5.2. Gonorrhea was slightly more prevalent in males, and for both males and females, the 20–24 age group had the largest number of cases. Those with syphilis where mostly male.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Orland Park, and even more in Chicago and other suburbs. Planned Parenthood is on South LaGrange Rd, and they test for STIs and treat all except HIV, for a fee on a sliding scale.
Physicians Immediate Care on 159th St offers comprehensive and confidential STD testing. ACCESS – Blue Island Family Health Center provides HIV testing. You may be able to find free STD testing during campaigns or STD Awareness Month.
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.

Illinois does not require schools provide sex health education, but Chicago public schools have a sex education curriculum that starts basic sex education in kindergarten. By fifth grade, students are supposed to learn about contraception and condoms.
When Illinois legislators passed house bill 3027 the state saw a sex education law that permits teachers to education students about both abstinence and contraception. The bill does not make sex ed a requirement in all schools. It does broaden what information the curriculum can cover. Before passing this bill in 2011 only abstinence education was taught to prevent teen pregnancy and STDs.
The new protocols allow teachers to incorporate age appropriate and medically accurate materials. This would help teens protect themselves. Parents have the right to review the course before deciding whether to allow their child to participate. Some legislators in the state opposed this approach stating it would make no difference in rates of teenage pregnancy and STDs.
In Illinois public act 98-0441 applies. It states that schools can teach sex education in grades six through twelve. The instruction is to include abstinence and contraception. The materials used must be evidence based and accurate medically. The Illinois State Board of Education must provide a listing of resources to assist schools with instructional materials to comply with the law.
A recent report showed that some parents at a West Side school in Chicago found the fifth grade sex ed plan horrifying and obscene. The parents viewed the new sex education curriculum and found it over the top and not age appropriate. A school hosted several parent workshops to explain about Chicago Public School new sex education curriculum.
Parents viewed material intended for students. This material explained about the benefits of female condoms, extending sex, and increasing pleasure. The chairwoman of the Local School Council called the information appalling and not age appropriate. This account provides an idea of what norms can be like in the area.
Demographics play a role in the number of STDs in the city, Chicagoland, the surrounding county, and your city. With STD rates high in Chicago, the higher rates tend to be on the South and West sides near your city. This is according to a report from the Chicago Department of Public Health. With your city being a southwest suburb, this is a concern. The pattern is similar for gonorrhea and chlamydia on the South and West side, but the rates for syphilis are greatest on the North side.
Additional factors contributing to higher rates of infections are high poverty and poor access to health care and transportation. Statistics concerning your city do not show high poverty and issues with access to health care and transportation. With Cook County ranking first in the state for rates of gonorrhea and syphilis, it ranks second in chlamydia. Students in Chicago public high schools report over half having sexual intercourse. Over 10 percent have sexual intercourse before the age of 13.
The Chicago report shows these types of infections and ages with infections disproportionately impacting young people.
Concerning infections and additional demographics here are some statistics per a recent report.
When it comes to HIV care, Chicago fairs better than the rest of the nation. In Chicago, estimates show that over half received HIV medical care in 2011, that is compared to only 40% nationally.
Fortunately, there are several STI testing resources available in your city and the surrounding area including community testing facilities, a hospital, and the Planned Parenthood/Orland Park location.
If you are embarrassed or ashamed to be seen in line at Planned Parenthood, fortunately, you have other options in your area. This includes an urgent care center or hospital such as Palos Community Hospital where no one knows you are there due to issues over STDs.
Another option is a service such as Personal Labs/Quest where you can order testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, and HIV. You order the tests online, then go to a lab near you. You get results of the test via telephone, then talk to a doctor about treatment if needed.
