Individuals who should consider getting tested for syphilis include those who are sexually active, particularly those with multiple partners or those who engage in unprotected sex. Pregnant women should also be tested, as syphilis can be passed from mother to child during pregnancy, potentially leading to severe complications. Individuals diagnosed with other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or HIV, should also get tested for syphilis due to the increased risk of co-infection.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial as it can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection allows for effective treatment, typically with antibiotics. Regular testing also helps prevent the spread of the disease to others.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics such as Carbon Health Urgent Care in Corona and A+ Urgent Care in Lake Elsinore offer syphilis testing. These clinics are highly rated and known for their short wait times, friendly staff, and cleanliness. You can book same-day and next-day appointments through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Primary care providers can also conduct syphilis testing. If you have a regular doctor, they can often provide testing during a routine check-up.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost syphilis testing. It's important to check with local centers about their testing services and any associated costs.
At-home testing kits for syphilis are also available. These kits can be ordered online, allowing you to take the test in the privacy of your own home and then send the sample to a lab for analysis.
