"Across The Nation | Illinois County Reports Increased Demand for STI Testing
Health Officials in Kane County, Ill., are reporting an increased demand for sexually transmitted infection tests, and the county likely will have to allocate an additional $55,000 to meet the demand, the Chicago Daily Herald reports. Paul Kuehnert, Kane County Health Department executive director, said that the increase in testing is positive because it helps to address the impact of STIs such as HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. He added that the increased demand and related costs likely will make the county evaluate how it performs STI testing. 'Not everybody really needs to be screened medically,' Kuehnert said."
