Love them!

But i did learn that going to be tested anonymously 3 blocks from your home is convenient but ... not anonymous

Whatever the Sinful One says works for me.  In the past I've used stdtestexpress.com
which has been pretty reliable and speedy.  Same deal: seedy downtown lab with sullen people waiting to be tested.

I had a VERY poor experience at Howard Brown and would not recommend...

This occurred late in 2009.  They screwed up my first test results and said they were concerned I might have syphilis and asked me to retest.  After the second test, I was called and told the test, although not certain, showed positive for syphilis.  I was then lectured by them to immediately inform my wife and all sex partners of the test.  When I insisted to them that I had absolutely no symptoms of syphilis and my own research discovered that an illness I had as a child could create false positive test results, they scoffed and further lectured me on my lifestyle choices.  About three days after their call, they called me back to tell me they had mixed up my test results with someone else (claiming that had never happened there before) and that I was fine.  A subsequent visit to a REAL doctor confirmed I was fine.  What if I had falsely informed my wife and providers I had seen of the incorrect positive result, like Howard Brown was scolding me to do, when I knew something was amiss?  I would have ruined my life because of those incompetent fuckers.  Stay as far away from Howard Brown as possible!!!

I have found American Health Center Arlington Heights,almost no appointment,all the panels and hiv very reasonable plus take insurance done in less than 10 min

Just go to your doctor.  The federal HIPPA laws prohibit anyone except who you allow (in writing), from looking at your person health information.  This information is restricted even from your spouse, or children, etc.  Your health insurance statement/bill will not include a diagnosis, or reason for testing, just the services provided, such as blood work, etc.
