According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get syphilis, but it is particularly prevalent among men who have sex with men. It is also recommended for pregnant women to get tested as syphilis can cause complications during pregnancy and can be passed to the baby. If you have been diagnosed with another sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, you should also get tested for syphilis, as these STIs often occur together.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial because it is a highly infectious disease that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Furthermore, syphilis can increase the risk of transmitting or getting HIV. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer quick and convenient syphilis testing. In Mukilteo, you can find these services at Carbon Health in nearby Mill Creek and Lynnwood. Both locations have high ratings for their friendly staff and clean facilities. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at each through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Primary care providers can also provide syphilis testing. If you have a regular doctor in Mukilteo, you can ask them about getting tested.
There are also community health centers in and around Mukilteo that offer free or low-cost STD testing. These centers provide confidential testing and treatment, regardless of your ability to pay.
At-home testing kits are another option for syphilis testing. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis. Results are usually available within a few days.
While specific data for Mukilteo is not readily available, Snohomish County, where Mukilteo is located, has seen an increase in syphilis cases in recent years, mirroring a national trend. This underscores the importance of regular testing, particularly for those in high-risk groups.
Risk factors for syphilis include unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, and being a man who has sex with men. The presence of another STI can also increase the risk of contracting syphilis.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also present in Mukilteo and surrounding areas. As with syphilis, regular testing is crucial for early detection and treatment of these diseases.
