Anyone who is sexually active, especially those with multiple partners, should consider getting tested for syphilis. This is particularly important for men who have sex with men, as they represent a significant proportion of syphilis cases. Pregnant women should also get tested, as untreated syphilis can have severe complications for the baby. If you've been diagnosed with another sexually transmitted infection, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, you're also at a higher risk and should get tested.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial because it's a highly treatable condition when detected early. Left untreated, syphilis can lead to severe health complications, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Regular testing is also important because syphilis symptoms can be mild and easily mistaken for other conditions, or they may not appear at all. By getting tested, you can ensure you're not unknowingly spreading the infection to others.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics, such as Carbon Health Urgent Care in nearby Chino, offer convenient and accessible syphilis testing services. These clinics often have short wait times and friendly staff, making the testing process as comfortable as possible. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at these locations through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for syphilis. This can be a good option if you're already comfortable with your doctor and have an established relationship.
There are also free STD testing and community health centers in Upland and the surrounding areas. These centers provide confidential testing services, often at low or no cost.
At-home testing options are available for those who prefer privacy or cannot easily access a clinic. These tests can be ordered online, completed at home, and sent back to a lab for analysis.
Upland is located in San Bernardino County, where syphilis rates have been on the rise in recent years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, San Bernardino County has a higher rate of syphilis cases compared to nearby counties such as San Diego County and La Paz County.
Risk factors for syphilis in Upland include unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, and being a man who has sex with men. Other factors, such as substance abuse and lack of access to healthcare, can also contribute to the spread of syphilis.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Upland. Like syphilis, these STDs can be detected through regular testing and treated effectively if caught early.
