Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can affect both men and women. If you are sexually active, particularly if you have multiple partners or a new partner, you should consider getting tested for gonorrhea. The CDC recommends annual gonorrhea screening for sexually active women younger than 25 years, 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. Men who have sex with men should also get tested annually.
Gonorrhea is often asymptomatic, meaning you could have the infection without any noticeable symptoms. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious health issues such as pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which can cause infertility, and in men, it can cause a painful condition in the tubes attached to the testicles which can also lead to infertility. Regular testing allows for early detection and treatment, preventing these complications.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide convenient, same-day testing options. One such location is 1st Choice Urgent Care in nearby Taylor, MI. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at this location through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Primary care providers are a reliable option for gonorrhea testing. MedPro Primary in Huron Charter Township, MI is a highly-rated option in the area.

Risk factors for gonorrhea in Trenton mirror those at the national level. These include being sexually active, having multiple sexual partners, having a new sexual partner, and having another sexually transmitted infection.
In addition to gonorrhea, other STDs such as chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Trenton. Like gonorrhea, these infections can often be asymptomatic and regular testing is crucial for early detection and treatment.
