STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Iroquois County, the county that includes Gilman, compare with Illinois and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#50 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 51% of the state
| Infection | Iroquois County | Illinois | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 256.4 67 cases ▼ 54% | 557.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 53.6 14 cases ▼ 74% | 202.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.7 2 cases ▼ 34% | 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 Iroquois County, chlamydia has risen from 225.3 to 256.4 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 110.8 to 53.6 per 100,000 (52%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.4 to 7.7 per 100,000 (4%).

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 Iroquois County.
Local HIV snapshot
Iroquois County HIV care continuum (2023)
Iroquois County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Iroquois County residents living with HIV, 72.7% are in care · 72.7% are virally suppressed. 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 Iroquois County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Durham Park sits at the quiet center of a Gilman where most households have put down roots: more than seven in ten residents own their homes, and the average household runs closer to three people than two. That settled, family-oriented texture shapes how people think about health: primary care often flows through a family doctor rather than a standalone clinic, and routine screening can feel like one more errand competing with work schedules, school pickups, and the kind of commitments that fill a house of that size. That reality matters most for Gilman's younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties whose years of forming new relationships coincide with the window when STIs spread most readily.
The options listed on this page span a wide enough range of hours and fees that cost and scheduling don't have to be the deciding factor, but the distance is real, and knowing which site fits a Tuesday between shifts beats leaving it abstract. For anyone already spending an afternoon along Crescent Street running errands, pulling up the nearest listed option and booking before heading home is the most direct path from intention to appointment slip in hand.
Getting there
At 6.85/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Gilman generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
