According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get syphilis, but it is particularly prevalent among men who have sex with men, and individuals with HIV. Additionally, if you've been notified by a partner that they have syphilis, or if you've noticed any unusual sores, rashes, or symptoms, it's important to get tested. Pregnant women should also be tested for syphilis, as it can cause complications during pregnancy and can be passed to the baby.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications. Furthermore, syphilis can be transmitted to others, so getting tested not only protects your own health but also helps to prevent the spread of the disease.
Urgent care centers such as WellNow Urgent Care in nearby Zanesville offer syphilis testing. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at these locations through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also offer syphilis testing. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in the Cambridge area.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost STD testing. Contact your local health department for more information.
At-home testing kits for syphilis are also available. These can be a convenient option, but it's important to ensure the test is FDA-approved for accuracy.
While specific data for Cambridge is not readily available, according to the CDC, Ohio has seen an increase in syphilis cases in recent years, following a national trend. Comparatively, nearby counties such as Fayette and Indiana have also reported increases in syphilis cases.
Risk factors for syphilis include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and being a man who has sex with men. Individuals with HIV are also at higher risk.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also present in the Cambridge area. As with syphilis, these STDs can be detected through testing at local healthcare providers, urgent care centers, or at home.
