Anyone who is sexually active is at risk of contracting syphilis, especially those with multiple sexual partners or those who engage in unprotected sex. It is particularly important for pregnant women to get tested as syphilis can be passed on to the unborn child, potentially leading to serious health complications. According to the CDC, men who have sex with men and individuals living with HIV are also at a higher risk.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial as it can lead to severe health problems if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, which can effectively cure the infection and prevent its spread to others. Additionally, regular testing can help control the spread of syphilis in the community.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics, such as Indigo in Seattle, offer convenient and quick testing options. With Solv, you can book same-day or next-day appointments at these clinics.
Primary care providers are also a reliable option for syphilis testing. They can provide comprehensive care and follow-up treatment if necessary.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost STD testing, making them an accessible option for many individuals.
At-home testing kits provide a private and convenient option for those who prefer to test themselves at home.
