Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Eddyville, IL. The nearest, Chesi, is about 10.7 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Chesi, in Golconda, delivers same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis) alongside rapid and conventional HIV testing, on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers. Appointments are required.
Without a clinic that handles both PrEP and PEP in-house, patients face a second appointment, a second intake, and a gap in coverage that compounds over time. Chesi carries both, so prevention doesn't stall between providers while momentum, and protection, slips.
Chesi tests for hepatitis C in addition to HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, which means a single visit produces a clearer picture of overall infectious status. Including a virus that often goes undetected without a specific order.

Fees & payment
Christopher Rural Health Planning, in Carrier Mills, runs on scheduled appointments and covers the standard bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale fees for everyone. PrEP and PEP are available on-site.
Christopher Rural Health Planning prescribes PrEP, including tenofovir-based regimens, and provides the follow-up HIV and kidney-function monitoring the medication requires. PEP is also available. Keeping both prevention options in the same clinic that does the underlying testing means no handoff to a separate prescriber.
For anyone paying out of pocket or without a primary care relationship, the expanded panel at Christopher Rural Health Planning, adding herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and C to the standard four, closes gaps that a bare-minimum screen would leave open. Those infections are managed on-site rather than deferred.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pope County, the county that includes Eddyville, compare with Illinois and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~13% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#87 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 15% of the state
| Infection | Pope County | Illinois | United States |

| Chlamydia | 161.9 6 cases ▼ 71% | 557.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | — no data | 202.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 11.6 | 15.8 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Pope County, chlamydia has risen from 132.9 to 161.9 per 100,000 (22%), and gonorrhea has fallen from 106.3 to 53.1 per 100,000 (50%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Pope County.
Local HIV snapshot
Pope County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pope County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Pope County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Renters and owners split Eddyville almost evenly near Old Wall, and with labor-force participation sitting well below typical American norms, a meaningful share of residents are outside the traditional nine-to-five structure entirely: retired, caregiving, or otherwise working on schedules that don't track to clinic hours. That reality shapes everything about how healthcare fits into daily life here. Pope County's STI picture is worth understanding in that context.
The young adults who face the greatest statistical exposure to chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, people in their late teens and twenties forming new relationships and often moving between living situations, tend to be precisely the group with the least buffer when an appointment means a long drive on a weekday. With household budgets running lean at typical local rent levels, even modest out-of-pocket costs deserve a look before committing. options listed on this page span enough variation in hours, fees, and distance that someone near Pirate Park can realistically compare a same-week telehealth order against a longer drive to a full-service clinic, and choose whatever actually clears their schedule without clearing their wallet.
Getting there
At 2.65/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Eddyville generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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