SIU Medicine in Springfield pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia with a panel that reaches beyond the standard four to include hepatitis B and C, all on a sliding-scale fee, with appointments required.
Paying out of pocket for hepatitis C medication, or simply lacking a specialist to prescribe it, can stall care after a diagnosis. SIU Medicine carries treatment on-site, so a confirmed hepatitis C result moves directly into management here: no separate specialist, no gap between knowing and addressing it.
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV cover the standard STI panel, but hepatitis B and C, which share transmission routes with several of those infections, often get left off the order. SIU Medicine runs all of them, so a single visit accounts for the full picture.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Sangamon County, the county that includes New Berlin, compare with Illinois and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#12 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 88% of the state
| Infection | Sangamon County | Illinois | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 590.7 1,143 cases ▲ 6% | 557.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 304.4 589 cases ▲ 50% | 202.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16 31 cases ▲ 38% | 11.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.9 21 cases ≈ the state average | 10.9 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 22.7 44 cases ▼ 13% | 26 | 29.5 |

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 Sangamon County, chlamydia has fallen from 728.8 to 590.7 per 100,000 (19%), gonorrhea has fallen from 448.7 to 304.4 per 100,000 (32%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.6 to 16 per 100,000 (111%).

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 Sangamon County.
Local HIV snapshot
Sangamon County HIV care continuum (2023)
Sangamon County recorded 11.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Sangamon County residents living with HIV, 83.6% are in care · 72.6% 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 Sangamon County tests for syphilis.

Local context
Winter brings ice that locks New Berlin's tree-lined streets in place for weeks, and in that stillness, the rhythms of family life (mortgages paid, children raised, grandparents nearby) anchor most households. That stability doesn't mean risk disappears; young adults in their late teens through thirties move through these same neighborhoods, and for them, routine confidential screening is simply part of staying well. Testing sites listed on this page serve New Berlin residents who want straightforward results without fanfare. The town's character runs toward privacy and long-standing ties.
Many people have lived here for years, raised children here, know the librarian and the hardware store owner by name. That closeness makes confidentiality more than a formality: it's the foundation that lets someone walk in, get tested, and walk out without worry about who might overhear or what gets repeated. Clinics and health providers in and around New Berlin understand that need. Wabash Park and Veterans Memorial Park are places where neighbors gather, where life feels visible.
Testing happens elsewhere, quietly, on your schedule. Whether you're checking in before a new relationship, after a concerning encounter, or simply as part of annual care, the providers here know how to keep that decision between you and them, and how to deliver answers fast.
Getting there

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.
