According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get syphilis, but it’s particularly common among men who have sex with men. Those with multiple sexual partners, or those with a partner who has tested positive for syphilis, should also consider getting tested. Pregnant women should get tested for syphilis as it can be passed from mother to child during childbirth, leading to serious health complications.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. It’s often called the “great imitator” because its symptoms can look like many other diseases. Early detection through testing is crucial as it allows for prompt treatment, preventing the disease from progressing to more severe stages. According to the CDC, untreated syphilis can lead to damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints.
Urgent care centers such as Castle Pines Urgent Care and Carbon Health Urgent Care in nearby Aurora offer syphilis testing. These clinics are highly rated and known for their short wait times, friendly staff, and clean facilities. Appointments can be booked same-day or next-day through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Primary care providers are also a good option for syphilis testing. They can provide a comprehensive sexual health check-up and discuss any concerns you may have.
There are also community health centers that offer free or low-cost STD testing. These centers are a great resource for those without insurance or those looking for confidential testing.
At-home testing kits are another option for those who prefer privacy. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for testing.
While specific data for Castle Pines is not readily available, Douglas County, where Castle Pines is located, has seen an increase in syphilis cases over the past few years, mirroring the national trend. This highlights the importance of regular testing and awareness of this STD.
Risk factors for syphilis include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and having a partner who has tested positive for syphilis. Men who have sex with men are also at a higher risk.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Douglas County. Regular testing for all STDs is recommended for those who are sexually active, particularly if they have multiple partners or engage in unprotected sex.
