Those who should consider getting tested for syphilis include individuals who are sexually active, particularly those with multiple partners, and those who engage in unprotected sex. Individuals who have been diagnosed with another sexually transmitted infection (STI) or those who have a partner who has been diagnosed with syphilis should also get tested. Pregnant women are advised to get tested for syphilis as it can lead to serious complications for the baby if left untreated.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial as it can lead to severe health complications 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 further transmission. Regular testing also helps to control the spread of the infection in the community.
