Rated 5 out of 5 from 4 reviews

SIU Medicine in Jacksonville runs STI testing and treatment through an academic medicine practice, with appointments required and a sliding-scale fee structure: though all services are ultimately provided at no fee, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B and C.

Read full overview Show less

Zero Cost Across Every Service Offered

Fee schedules, sliding scales, and donation boxes are common workarounds that still leave a balance for some patients. At SIU Medicine in Jacksonville, the structure is different: all services are provided at no fee, full stop: testing, treatment, and vaccines alike, regardless of what you bring to the visit.

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Standard Panel

Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV are the floor at most STI clinics. Hepatitis testing gets left for another appointment elsewhere. SIU Medicine in Jacksonville includes hepatitis B and hepatitis C in its panel, so both infections are answered in a single visit rather than deferred.

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.
