According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for syphilis, particularly those with multiple sexual partners, men who have sex with men, and individuals living with HIV. Pregnant women should also be tested, as syphilis can have serious health implications for both mother and child.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial to preventing its spread and mitigating its potential health impacts. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to serious complications, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications. Furthermore, knowing your status can help prevent the spread of the infection to others.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide quick and convenient testing services. Access Medical Centers, with locations at 11717 S Memorial Dr, Bixby, OK 74008 and 10221 E 81st St, Tulsa, OK 74133, are highly rated and offer same-day and next-day testing appointments through Solv's website and mobile app.
Primary care providers also offer syphilis testing. If you have a regular doctor, they can often provide testing and treatment or refer you to a specialist.
Free STD testing is available at various community health centers in Tulsa. These centers provide services regardless of your ability to pay, making them a valuable resource.
At-home testing kits are another convenient option. These kits can be ordered online, used in the privacy of your home, and then mailed to a lab for analysis.
