At Womens Health Group Chicago, our passionate healthcare professionals are committed to providing superior medical services in a setting that ensures optimal comfort and confidentiality for every client.

This service incorporates comprehensive checks for various types of sexually transmitted infections. We utilize advanced diagnostic procedures with high degrees of sensitivity, ensuring accurate detection and identification.
Testing speed can be crucial when dealing with STDs since a quick diagnosis offers a better chance at prompt treatment and management. Recognizing this necessity, Womens Health Group Chicago provides Rapid Testing For Common STDs utilizing state-of-the-art testing technology that yields reliable results within minutes or hours rather than days. Our staff adheres to strictly professional standards while executing these tests, guaranteeing complete patient privacy throughout the process.
The experienced doctors at Womens Health Group Chicago specialize in delivering highly effective treatment strategies once an individual receives an STD diagnosis. Whether it entails administering antibiotics or antiviral medications for curable infections or initiating appropriate therapies for diseases deemed chronic but manageable like HIV/AIDS, we provide specialized care tailored specifically to each patient’s condition and circumstances following their respective needs.
In efforts to control any potential spread of infection among sexual partners, Womens Health Group Chicago also offers Partner Notification And Testing services as part of its expansive reproductive wellness program. Once you receive your test results from us, we can notify your partner(s), anonymously if desired, recommend necessary evaluations allowing them too to seek immediate interventions should they prove positive for any STI’s assessed on our panel exam.
Womens Health Group Chicago isn’t just about diagnosing and treating diseases. We believe that a preventative approach is critical to maintaining optimal health. To this end, our clinic offers Vaccinations as part of our STD services in Evanston. These vaccinations include those against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis A & B which contribute significantly towards reducing the risk levels of acquiring certain types of STDs.
Awareness and understanding are key elements when it comes to minimizing the spread and impact of sexually transmitted diseases on one’s wellness or within communities. Our trained healthcare professionals gladly take the time to engage with patients offering Preventative Education And Counseling around various aspects related to STIs – including prevention, safe sex practices, proper treatment adherence, risk reduction strategies among others – all aimed at empowering each individual with knowledge for informed decisions regarding their sexual health matters.

An STD, or sexually transmitted disease, is an infection that is passed from one person to another through sexual contact. STDs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
The most common STDs include:
STDs can be transmitted through vaginal sex, anal sex, and oral sex. They can also be transmitted through sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia.
The symptoms of STDs can vary depending on the type of infection. Some STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, may not cause any symptoms at all. Other STDs, such as herpes and syphilis, can cause painful sores or blisters.
The best way to prevent STDs is to abstain from sexual contact. However, if you do choose to have sex, there are a number of things you can do to reduce your risk of getting an STD, such as:
Most STDs can be treated with antibiotics. However, some STDs, such as HIV and herpes, are incurable.
If left untreated, STDs can lead to serious complications, such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cancer.
If you think you may have an STD, it is important to see a doctor right away. They can test you for STDs and provide treatment if necessary.
It is also important to talk to your sexual partners about STDs and to encourage them to get tested.
