According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get syphilis, but it is particularly common among men who have sex with men. It is also recommended that all pregnant women get tested for syphilis as it can be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy. Individuals with HIV and those with multiple sexual partners should also consider getting tested for syphilis.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial because, if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems such as brain damage, heart disease, and even death. Additionally, syphilis can be easily spread through direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Therefore, getting tested can help prevent the spread of the disease to others.

According to the CDC, the prevalence of syphilis in Orange County, where Laguna Beach is located, is relatively high compared to other nearby counties like San Diego County and Los Angeles County. However, the prevalence of syphilis in Laguna Beach itself is lower than in nearby cities such as Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel.
Risk factors for syphilis in Laguna Beach include unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, and being a man who has sex with men. The presence of other sexually transmitted infections can also increase the risk of contracting syphilis.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Laguna Beach. Like syphilis, these STDs can be tested for at local healthcare providers, urgent care clinics, and community health centers.
