IDPH Screening Recommendations for Pregnant People

Intrauterine or perinatally transmitted STIs, Hepatitis B/C, and HIV can have debilitating effects on pregnant people, their partners, and their fetuses. All pregnant people and their sex partners should be questioned and if needed, counseled about the possibility of these infections and access to testing and treatment should be provided. The Illinois Department of Public Health has developed this screening guide for all medical providers responsible for the care of pregnant people. This guide follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) national recommendations for screening and treating pregnant people published in the current CDC STD Treatment Guidelines.
