Henry and Stark County Health Department, Colona's public health department, anchors its STI services in the same infrastructure built for community-wide disease response: meaning gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis B are tested on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit bacterial treatment, by appointment, with PrEP and PEP available for prevention.

Prevention Prescriptions Beyond the Test Visit
Plenty of testing sites hand off prevention medication to a separate provider entirely. Henry and Stark County Health Department writes PrEP and PEP prescriptions directly, keeping ongoing HIV prevention within the same department where testing and counseling already happen.
Herpes and Hepatitis B Tested Alongside the Core Panel
The testing panel here runs serological and culture-based screening for herpes simplex alongside hepatitis B antigen testing, both requiring specific assay types that go beyond basic nucleic acid amplification. That means a single appointment at Henry and Stark County Health Department covers six distinct pathogens rather than four.
MercyOne in Silvis tests for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee; insurance is also accepted. Bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and appointments are required.

PrEP and PEP Where Most Clinics Stop
Plenty of testing sites can confirm an exposure but hand off prevention to a separate provider. MercyOne in Silvis prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, keeping ongoing HIV prevention and post-exposure response in the same clinical relationship rather than scattered across multiple offices.
Hepatitis C Treated Here, Start to Finish
When hepatitis C is detected, MercyOne in Silvis moves directly into treatment. Prescribing antivirals and monitoring response through the same clinical team that ran the test. Patients don't need to re-establish care elsewhere to access a cure.
Herpes and Hepatitis Included in the Panel
MercyOne in Silvis tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial infections, which means conditions that often go undetected in a basic screening get a diagnosis, and, where treatment exists, can be addressed right away.
Sliding-scale fees and both Medicaid and private insurance are accepted at Community Health Care in East Moline, where the panel extends beyond the standard four to include herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. All by appointment.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 3 miles away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Cleveland, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?
Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Henry County tests for syphilis.

Old Colona Park sits at the kind of unhurried edge of town where Saturday mornings feel borrowed from another decade, yet the practical geography of getting tested here is less leisurely. That schedule flexibility isn't guaranteed. With more than a tenth of the labor force currently without work and just under two-thirds of residents participating in the workforce at all, a weekday clinic appointment can mean weighing an unpaid hour against an already stretched household budget. The typical rent here, just under a thousand dollars a month, doesn't leave a lot of margin, and for the roughly one-in-five households that rents rather than owns, that calculus is sharper still.
Larger average households add another layer: coordinating childcare or a second vehicle when multiple adults share one home can quietly turn a planned appointment into a postponed one. Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a modest share of Cleveland overall, but they're the group for whom a same-week slot and a sliding-scale fee most directly determine whether screening actually happens. For a renter on the Chicago-Kansas City Expressway corridor without employer coverage, the $0-or-low-cost options flagged among the listings here aren't a convenience. They're the deciding factor.

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.
