According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's particularly common among young people aged 15-24 years. It's recommended that sexually active women under 25, as well as older women with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, should be tested for gonorrhea. Men who have sex with men should also get tested annually.
Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including infertility in women and an increased risk of getting HIV. Getting tested is the only sure way to know if you have gonorrhea, as many people with the infection don't have any symptoms. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications and can also help prevent the spread of the infection to others.
Urgent care centers such as Rapid Care Enterprises in Moreno Valley and Carbon Health Urgent Care in Highland offer gonorrhea testing. These locations are convenient options for same-day or next-day testing, and appointments can be booked through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for gonorrhea. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in the Banning area.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost STD testing. There are 51 such locations in and around Banning where you can get tested for gonorrhea.
At-home testing kits for gonorrhea are another option. These can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent to a lab for analysis. Results are usually available within a few days.
Banning, located in Riverside County, has seen a rise in gonorrhea cases in recent years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, Riverside County reported over 5,000 cases of gonorrhea in 2017, a significant increase from previous years. This suggests that gonorrhea is a growing health concern in the Banning area.
Risk factors for gonorrhea in Banning include having multiple sexual partners, having a partner with a known STD, and inconsistent condom use. Young people aged 15-24 are particularly at risk.
In addition to gonorrhea, other STDs such as chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Banning. As with gonorrhea, these STDs can often be asymptomatic, making regular testing crucial for sexually active individuals. Testing for these STDs is available at the same locations as gonorrhea testing, and appointments can be booked through Solv.
