According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get syphilis, but it is particularly prevalent among men who have sex with men, individuals with multiple sexual partners, and those who engage in unprotected sex. It is also recommended that pregnant women get tested for syphilis as it can be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy, leading to serious health complications or even death for the baby.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial as it is a highly contagious disease that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications. Moreover, individuals who have syphilis are more likely to contract HIV, making testing even more essential.
Urgent care centers and walk-in clinics offer quick and convenient testing services. ER Care- Walk-in Urgent Care and Prestige Urgent Care in nearby Orlando are highly rated options. You can book same-day and next-day appointments at these locations through Solv.
