Regular STD testing is an important part of routine health care for Logan Square residents. Many common sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV-related conditions, can be asymptomatic, so testing helps protect your long-term health and the health of your partners. The CDC recommends at least annual screening for sexually active people, more frequently for those with multiple partners or new partners; specific guidance includes annual chlamydia and gonorrhea screening for sexually active women under 25 and routine HIV screening for all adults. In Chicago's Northwest Side neighborhoods there are higher rates of sexual activity among young adults and a diverse population with varying access to care, which makes accessible local testing essential. Early detection leads to easier treatment, lowers the risk of complications like infertility from untreated chlamydia, and reduces transmission. Normalizing testing reduces stigma — think of STD testing like routine dental care: preventive, private, and responsible. If you live in Logan Square and are sexually active, have a new partner, or have symptoms, consider STI screening. Our clinics provide confidential STD testing Logan Square residents can trust, with medical counseling and clear next steps if results are positive.
