According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's most commonly found in people aged 15-24. Those who have multiple sexual partners or a new partner, don't use a condom during sex, or have a past history of any STD/STI should consider getting tested. It's also crucial for pregnant women to get tested as the infection can be passed on to the baby during childbirth.
Gonorrhea is a common STD that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including infertility in both men and women, increased risk of getting or transmitting HIV, and potentially life-threatening complications. The only way to know if you have gonorrhea is to get tested. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer quick and convenient testing services. Everyday Urgent Care in Maywood, NJ, and Doctors Place Medical in Hackensack, NJ are two highly rated options nearby. You can book same-day and next-day appointments at these locations through Solv's website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for gonorrhea. If you don't have one, Solv can help you find a trusted provider in your area.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost testing. Check with local centers in Chestnut Ridge and the surrounding areas for availability.
At-home testing kits offer privacy and convenience. They can be ordered online, and you send a sample back to a lab for testing.
While specific data for Chestnut Ridge is not readily available, Bergen County, where Chestnut Ridge is located, has seen an increase in gonorrhea cases in recent years, according to the CDC. This mirrors national trends, with gonorrhea rates rising across the country.
Risk factors in Chestnut Ridge are similar to those nationwide. These include age (those 15-24 are most at risk), having multiple sexual partners, inconsistent condom use, and a history of STDs.
