According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it is most common among young people aged 15-24. It's particularly important for those with new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, to get tested. Men who have sex with men, and pregnant women are also at a higher risk and should consider regular testing.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including infertility in both men and women. However, it can be easily cured with the right treatment. Getting tested is the only way to know for sure if you have gonorrhea, and early detection can prevent serious complications. According to the CDC, regular testing can also help to slow the spread of the infection in the community.
Urgent care centers like Atlanta Plus Urgent Care in nearby McDonough offer quick and convenient testing services. These centers often have short wait times and can accommodate same-day or next-day appointments, which 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, there are 62 locations in and around Stockbridge where you can get tested.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost testing. It's important to check with the center beforehand to understand what costs may be associated with testing and treatment.
At-home testing kits 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.
While specific data for Stockbridge is not readily available, Clayton County, where Stockbridge is located, has seen a steady increase in gonorrhea cases over the past few years, mirroring a national trend. This highlights the importance of regular testing and safe sexual practices in the area.
Risk factors for gonorrhea include being sexually active, having new or multiple sex partners, having a partner with a sexually transmitted infection, and not using a condom consistently and correctly. Men who have sex with men are also at a higher risk.
In addition to gonorrhea, other common STDs in the area include chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. Regular testing for all STDs is recommended for those who are sexually active, particularly if they have multiple partners or are in a high-risk group.
