According to the CDC, anyone who has been exposed to blood or body fluids of an infected person should get tested for hepatitis. This includes people who have shared needles or other drug-injection equipment, people with multiple sexual partners, men who have sex with men, and people with HIV. Additionally, healthcare workers and people who live with someone who has hepatitis should also get tested.
Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial because it can lead to serious health problems if left untreated, such as liver disease, liver cancer, and cirrhosis. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, which can prevent these complications. According to the CDC, many people with hepatitis do not know they are infected, so testing is the only way to know for sure.
Urgent care centers like Carbon Health Urgent Care in Chino offer hepatitis testing. These facilities often have short wait times and can provide same-day or next-day appointments. You can book an appointment at Carbon Health Urgent Care through Solv’s website or mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for hepatitis. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in the Upland area.
There are also free STD testing centers and community health centers in Upland that offer hepatitis testing. These centers often provide testing at no cost or a sliding scale based on income.
At-home testing kits for hepatitis are another option. These kits can be ordered online, done at home, and sent back to a lab for analysis.
While specific data for Upland is not readily available, according to the CDC, there were over 3,000 reported cases of hepatitis in San Bernardino County in 2019. This is higher than the rates in nearby counties such as San Diego County and La Paz County.
Risk factors for hepatitis in Upland are similar to those in other areas. These include drug use, unprotected sex, living with someone with hepatitis, and working in healthcare.
In addition to hepatitis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis are also prevalent in Upland. In 2019, there were over 10,000 reported cases of chlamydia, over 3,000 cases of gonorrhea, and over 200 cases of syphilis in San Bernardino County, according to the CDC. These numbers highlight the importance of regular STD testing.
