Have been dealing with issues regarding an infected navel piercing and pushing back a doctors visit because I am always afraid of needing to go. Immediately greeted by such friendly and caring check-in staff. I have no insurance so they were able to help negotiate a price that worked for me. The nurse and doctor who saw me were so friendly and understanding of my fears and situation. They listened to everything I told them and offered me many solutions to my problems, even still understanding my lack of insurance and showing me where to find the cheapest options for prescriptions. All the staff made me feel cared for, as if they were friends of mine I’ve known for a long time. I was in and out in about an hour and am looking forward to my second visit. I would recommend this provider to everyone I know, especially anyone who is normally afraid of being in hospital settings or doctors.

I I went to the doctor because I had a burn on my hand. I was in a lot of pain. They took me into the room to see me, but I had to wait a long time. Once the doctor was there, he kept me waiting twice for a long time. The last time he came back, he told me, "I already sent the medicine to your pharmacy," but he never gave me anything. I went in like that and left in a lot of pain. I didn't like the service. I went with the intention of feeling better. I was disappointed that they didn't even have a cream to soothe my pain.

My 6 year old son ended up having Scarlett Fever.  We took him to his pediatrician in the morning and they did NOTHING. We were fortunate enough to get my 6 year old son and 10 year old daughter in.  The entire staff was INCREDIBLE! From the receptionist to the nurses to Dr. Anthony.  They ran strep tests, took his temperature, and gave him a couple of antibiotics.  My kids thought they were really nice!  Great staff, very professional, awesome bedside manner and the office was clean!   We are veru grateful and highly recommend!

I came here and was greeted immediately by the fine staff at front desk. Within minutes I had a room and my vitals were taken. The medical assistant Karina was very kind and gentle when drawing my blood. She also helped me schedule a follow up and was patient with me as I took my time to think. Overall this clinic was very clean and I would highly recommend that anyone come here for a quick and pleasant visit.

Getting Tested for STDs in Northbrook, IL

Who should get tested for STDs?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sexually active individuals, particularly those with multiple partners or those who engage in unprotected sex, should get tested for STDs. This includes people of all genders and sexual orientations. Even if you are not experiencing symptoms, regular testing is crucial as many STDs can be asymptomatic but still pose serious health risks if left untreated.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is a critical part of maintaining your overall health. Many STDs can lead to serious health complications if left undiagnosed and untreated, including infertility, certain types of cancer, and increased risk of HIV. Regular testing also helps prevent the spread of these diseases to others. According to the CDC, early detection and treatment can significantly reduce the risk of these complications.

Std testing options in Northbrook, IL:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide convenient, same-day testing services. Midwest Express Clinic in Northbrook, IL, is one such facility where you can book same-day and next-day testing appointments through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider can also conduct STD testing. If you have a regular doctor you see, consider discussing your testing needs with them.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Community health centers often provide free or low-cost STD testing. While Northbrook itself may not have these facilities, nearby cities like Deerfield and Highland Park might have these resources.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another option. These kits can be ordered online, used in the privacy of your home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis.

Prevalence of STDs in Northbrook

While specific data for Northbrook is not readily available, the CDC reports that STD rates in Lake County, where Northbrook is located, are reflective of national trends. These trends show an overall increase in STD cases, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

Risk factors related to STDs in Northbrook

Risk factors for STDs in Northbrook are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and lack of regular testing. Additionally, certain populations, such as young adults and men who have sex with men, are disproportionately affected by STDs. It's important to note that while these factors can increase risk, anyone who is sexually active can get an STD. Regular testing is the best way to know your status and protect your health.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Northbrook?

    In a doctor's office, a health clinic, or an urgent care center, you can get an STD test. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to visit a doctor's office, where they can also treat you or issue you a prescription. While some Northbrook clinics and urgent care centers allow walk-in appointments, it's advisable to make an appointment ahead of time to prevent excessive waits.

  • How long does it take to get STD test results?

    Various testing are required for various STDs. Depending on the type of STD test you took, you may receive your results in two to ten days. Some outcomes may be immediately available. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an STD through a physical examination. In some cases, your doctor's office may only contact you if your test results are positive.

  • How much does an STD test cost in Northbrook?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by several factors, including where you are tested, the type of test you need, and if you have health insurance. Some Northbrook clinics may offer free testing or testing on a sliding scale based on your income. Because of the cost, don't put off obtaining an STD test. With your doctor's office, discuss the cost and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment may have catastrophic implications.

  • Does insurance cover STD testing in Northbrook?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by a number of factors, including the location of the test, the type of test required, and whether or not you have health insurance. Some clinics may provide free or sliding-scale testing, depending on your income. Don't let the expense of an STD test deter you from getting one. With your doctor's office, discuss the price and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment could have catastrophic ramifications.

  • How do they test for STDs in Northbrook?

    There are around 20 different forms of STDs, each with its own set of diagnostic tests. No single test exists that can detect all types of STDs. Your doctor can help you figure out which tests you'll need. In STD testing, a blood sample or a urine sample may be used. Your doctor may also take a swab from the inside of your cheek, your vaginal area, or another potentially infected place.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    Blood tests are used to diagnose hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. In a laboratory, a technician examines a blood sample for antibodies that the body has produced in reaction to disease. The virus's DNA can also be detected by several blood tests. Remember that if you've recently been exposed to an STD and your body hasn't yet produced antibodies, you could test negative even if you have the disease.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for STD testing in Northbrook?

    Many Northbrook, IL urgent care providers offer same-day and next-day appointments, which you may book through Solv. To make healthcare more accessible to everyone, we collaborate with thousands of top-rated local providers. Our physician partners understand that waiting days, if not weeks, for an appointment isn't always the best option, and they share our commitment to simple, accessible health care.

  • How can I book an STD test on Solv?

A list of providers and available appointments can be found on the following page. Choose the most convenient time and location for you. Make it clear that you've come for STD testing.

  • How long does an STD test take in Northbrook?

    If you have a specific STD, inform your doctor so that the necessary test can be scheduled. Otherwise, they'll help you figure out which tests you'll need. The nurse or doctor simply needs a few minutes to get a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab from the probable infection site.

  • Can I test myself for STDs at home?

    Although there are several STD home tests available, not all of them are accurate. The accuracy of any STD test is determined by the quality of the sample taken. For home STD kits, a blood sample, a urine sample, or both are frequently required. Because doctors and nurses have more experience collecting samples, traditional in-office STD testing is the most accurate.
