Our team of highly trained professionals utilizes advanced testing methods to ensure accurate results every time. In addition to identifying any currently active infections, our comprehensive screenings also look out for asymptomatic STDs – these could go undetected without proper medical examination but could lead to serious health implications if left untreated.
We realize waiting days or weeks for test results can be nerve-wracking; hence we offer rapid testing options for common STDs. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, Womens Health Group Chicago provides confidential and immediate solutions so that fear never hinders you from getting tested.
These tests focus on detecting some of the most commonly occurring sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes among others- ensuring prompt detection which facilitates faster treatment initiation leading to better outcomes.

Apart from individual care aspects encompassing early diagnosis and effective treatment strategies, a crucial component of mitigating STD spread is competent partner notification and testing. This measure ensures your partner(s) are also aware of their health status & can opt for early interventions if required.
Our team at Womens Health Group Chicago works in synchrony with patients to communicate the infection risk to partners tactfully, while preserving patient’s privacy – helping control disease transmission cycles more efficiently
Prevention is indeed better than cure; particularly true for infections. Vaccination forms an integral part of preventive healthcare strategies against certain STDs like Hepatitis B or HPV – which have proven vaccines available providing long-term protection.
At our clinic we provide vaccination services based on individual needs after a comprehensive assessment ensuring you remain fully safeguarded against preventable diseases as much as possible.

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.
