No ratings yet

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

When cost stops someone from following through on a result (skipping the counseling appointment, postponing the second test, leaving treatment unscheduled) the gap widens. At Lee County Health Department, every service, from hepatitis C testing to PrEP to partner notification, carries no fee, closing that gap before it opens.

Spanish-Language Care Is Staffed, Not Patched

Many clinics manage Spanish by routing calls or visits through an outside line, which means delays, dropped nuance, and a patient navigating their own health in a language that isn't theirs. Lee County Health Department delivers STI testing, counseling, and prevention services in Spanish directly, without that detour.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Lee County Health Department prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP: meaning ongoing HIV-negative status monitoring, prescription renewals, and dosing guidance happen within the clinic, not outsourced to a separate provider, which keeps the prevention regimen continuous and accountable to one care relationship.

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.
