According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's most commonly found among individuals aged 15-24 years. If you're a sexually active woman under 25, or an older woman with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, you should get tested for gonorrhea. Men who have sex with men should also get tested annually.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including infertility in both men and women. It can also increase your risk of getting or giving HIV. The only sure way to know if you have gonorrhea is to get tested. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications and transmission to others.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer quick and convenient testing for gonorrhea. Doctors Express Urgent Care in New Bedford, MA is a nearby option. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at these clinics 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 healthcare provider in Newport or nearby cities like Newport East, Middletown, Melville, Narragansett, or North Kingstown.
Free STD testing and community health centers in Newport and surrounding counties offer another option for gonorrhea testing. These centers provide services regardless of your ability to pay.
At-home testing kits for gonorrhea are also available. These kits are sent to your home, where you can take the test and send it back to a lab for analysis.
According to the CDC, Rhode Island, including Newport County, has seen an increase in gonorrhea cases in recent years. This trend mirrors a national increase in gonorrhea cases.
Risk factors for gonorrhea include young age, multiple sexual partners, a new sexual partner, or having another sexually transmitted infection.
Besides gonorrhea, other common STDs in Newport include chlamydia, hiv, syphilis, and hepatitis. Like gonorrhea, these STDs can also be tested at the same locations and require early detection and treatment to prevent serious health complications.
