Anyone who is sexually active is at risk for syphilis, particularly those with multiple partners or those who engage in unprotected sex. According to the CDC, men who have sex with men, and individuals living with HIV are at a higher risk. Pregnant women should also get tested, as syphilis can be passed to the unborn child, potentially causing serious health complications.
Early detection of syphilis is crucial for effective treatment and preventing further spread of the disease. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to serious health issues, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Regular testing is also important as syphilis can often be asymptomatic in its early stages, making it possible for individuals to unknowingly spread the disease.
Urgent care centers such as NextCare Urgent Care in nearby Glendale and Avondale offer syphilis testing. These locations are convenient options for those seeking same-day or next-day testing appointments, which can be booked through Solv’s website or mobile app.
Primary care providers can also conduct syphilis testing. If you have a primary care provider in Buckeye, consider reaching out to their office to inquire about testing.
Community health centers in and around Buckeye may offer free or low-cost syphilis testing. It's always a good idea to call ahead to confirm availability and any potential costs.
At-home testing kits are also an option for those who prefer a more private testing experience. These kits can be ordered online and typically require a simple blood sample.
Buckeye, located in Maricopa County, has seen an increase in syphilis cases over the past few years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, Maricopa County has a higher rate of syphilis compared to nearby counties such as Coconino, Navajo, Pinal, and Gila.
Risk factors in Buckeye are similar to those nationwide. These include having multiple sexual partners, engaging in unprotected sex, and being a man who has sex with men. The presence of other STDs can also increase the risk of contracting syphilis.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Buckeye. Regular testing for all STDs/STIs is recommended for sexually active individuals, especially those with multiple partners or who engage in unprotected sex.
