Hepatitis C Treatment Starts Here, No Referral Chain

For anyone without a primary care provider or managing costs out of pocket, the gap between a hepatitis C diagnosis and actual antiviral treatment can stretch into months. Heartland Health Services in Peoria closes that gap with on-site treatment, the medication conversation begins at the same clinic that runs the test.

Substance-Use Care Sits Next to STI Treatment

When those two needs go unaddressed together, one tends to undermine the other. An STI gets treated while the pattern driving re-exposure continues unchecked. At Heartland Health Services in Peoria, substance-use treatment is a standing service alongside STI care, so neither condition waits on the other.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Expand the Standard Panel

Heartland Health Services in Peoria is built for anyone whose situation calls for more than the four-infection baseline: herpes and hepatitis C and B testing are included, on the same sliding-scale fee structure, without routing those tests to a separate facility or appointment.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 251 reviews

Solvera Health in Peoria runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, making the full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) available at a cost that adjusts to income. Appointments are required; bacterial STIs are treated the same visit.

Three Prevention Drugs, One Prescribing Relationship

Solvera Health prescribes all three chemoprevention tools: tenofovir-based PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV suppression, and DoxyPEP for bacterial STI reduction after potential exposure. Having all three anchored to a single provider means dosing adjustments, follow-up labs, and switches between regimens don't require starting over with a new prescriber.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis Leads Directly to Treatment

Many clinics confirm a hepatitis C antibody result and stop there, leaving patients to find a specialist elsewhere for the antiviral regimens that actually clear the infection. Solvera Health in Peoria carries that treatment on-site, diagnosis and the direct-acting antivirals that eliminate the virus are handled within the same practice.

Hepatitis Testing Skips the Second Appointment Problem

Leaving hepatitis off an initial panel means a separate order, a separate visit, and, when results are positive, a gap in care that can stretch weeks. Solvera Health tests hepatitis A, B, and C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB from the start, so nothing waits on a second round of bloodwork.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Confidentiality & consent in Illinois

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Illinois law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Illinois, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Illinois permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
