Anyone who is sexually active is at risk for syphilis, particularly those with multiple sexual partners or who engage in unprotected sex. It's especially important for pregnant women to get tested because the disease can be passed on to the unborn child, causing serious health complications. Men who have sex with men, and individuals who are HIV positive are also at a higher risk, according to the CDC.
Syphilis is a highly treatable condition when detected early. However, if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Regular testing is crucial for early detection and treatment, and can help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
Urgent care centers such as NextCare Urgent Care in Casa Grande and Heavens Urgent Care in Apache Junction offer syphilis testing services. These centers are a convenient option for same-day or next-day testing, which can be booked through Solv.
Primary care providers are another option for syphilis testing. These professionals can provide comprehensive care and follow-up treatment if necessary.
There are also community health centers in Florence that offer free or low-cost STD testing. These centers provide an important service for those who may not have access to other healthcare options.
At-home testing kits for syphilis are another option. These kits can be ordered online and used in the privacy of your own home, with results typically available within a few days.
While the exact prevalence of syphilis in Florence is not readily available, Pinal County, where Florence is located, has seen a rise in syphilis cases in recent years, mirroring a national trend.

Risk factors for syphilis in Florence include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and drug use. Men who have sex with men and individuals who are HIV positive are also at a higher risk.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Florence and the surrounding areas. Regular testing for all STDs is recommended for anyone who is sexually active.
