IL-83 south: getting from Elmhurst, IL to a Westmont, IL clinic
From ZIP 60126, head south on IL-83 (Kingery Highway) through Oakbrook Terrace and Oak Brook. At Ogden Avenue (US 34), turn west and follow it to Cass Avenue. You have two choices there:
Immediate Care Center of Westmont Inside Jewel-Osco
4 E Ogden Ave, the first clinic you reach
Collects lab samples, including for STD tests
Walk in, or call its direct line at (630) 541-6113
Urgent Care Center of Westmont
29 N Cass Ave, Ste A, a short way south on Cass
Collects lab samples and has on-site X-ray
Online check-in holds a spot here

For Elmhurst University students away from a family doctor
If you are a college student, your regular doctor may be back home. You can walk in with a photo ID and an insurance card if you have one, and adult students can check in on their own.
Your results are private medical information, discussed with you directly by a clinician.
If you are on a parent's insurance plan, the policyholder may get a statement listing the visit. Self-pay, from $125 for a general visit, avoids that.
Know the date of your last possible exposure. Timing affects which tests make sense and whether to retest.
Ask about hepatitis B and HPV vaccines through our immunizations service if you have not had them, and call ahead to confirm stock.

We offer telehealth for some concerns, arranged by phone, and from 7.4 miles away it can save a trip for a medicine question or a rash you can show on camera. STD testing is different. Every sample is collected at the clinic, in a private exam room, by our clinical team. We do not mail or hand out self-swab kits.
In person, a clinician asks about symptoms and partners, examines any area of concern, and collects urine, blood or a swab, depending on the tests. When results are ready, a clinician explains them to you.
Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, is led by board-certified physicians and holds a 4.9-star rating from 3,166 Google reviews.

Results, partners and what to do next

Tests need time after an exposure before they can find an infection. For HIV, the CDC lists 18 to 45 days for lab tests on blood from a vein and 23 to 90 days for antibody tests. If you test early, your clinician may suggest a repeat test.
If a result is positive, your clinician explains it and recommends treatment, which may include prescription medicine when appropriate. The CDC advises waiting until you and your partners finish treatment before having sex again. See our STD testing service and HIV testing pages for more.
Can Elmhurst University students get STD testing without a parent?
Adult students can check in on their own. Bring a photo ID and an insurance card if you have one. If you are on a parent's plan and would rather no statement goes to the policyholder, ask about self-pay, which starts at $125 for a general visit.
How far is your clinic from Elmhurst, IL?
About 7.4 miles south in a straight line. Drive south on IL-83 to Ogden Avenue, then west. The Jewel-Osco clinic at 4 E Ogden Ave comes first, and the main clinic at 29 N Cass Ave is a short way south on Cass.
Can I get an STD test by telehealth?
No. Testing requires samples, and we collect every sample at the clinic during an in-person visit. Telehealth can help with other concerns, such as a follow-up question, and a clinician will tell you if you need to come in.
How often should a college student get tested?
The CDC recommends yearly chlamydia and gonorrhea testing for sexually active women under 25, at least one HIV test for everyone 13 to 64, and more frequent testing for some men who have sex with men. A new partner or symptoms are reasons to test sooner.
What if my test comes back positive?
Your clinician explains the result in private and recommends treatment, which may include prescription medicine when appropriate. The CDC advises that partners be tested and treated at the same time so an infection is not passed back and forth.
