If you are sexually active, it is important that you regularly get tested for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and HIV. People 12 years of age and older can be tested without parent consent at Kankakee County Health Department. To reduce the risk for STD/HIV infections, we strongly encourage these steps:

• Abstinence
• Condom Usage
• Being in a Mutually Monogamous Relationship
• Reducing your Number of Sex Partners

Condoms are available at NO COST at the Kankakee County Health Department. Learn more about our confidential screening on our STD/HIV Page. 

Adolescents 12 years of age and older can be seen for a pregnancy test without parent consent. If eligible, our Family Case Management will help ensure you have a healthy pregnancy and promote the child’s healthy development. For more information, visits our Family Case Management page.
