According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's most commonly diagnosed in people aged 15 to 24. It's particularly important for sexually active women under 25, as well as older women with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, to get tested. Men who have sex with men should also be tested regularly.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. According to the CDC, it can increase a person's risk for getting or giving HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In women, untreated gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause infertility. In men, it can cause a painful condition in the tubes attached to the testicles, which can also lead to infertility. Regular testing is crucial to prevent these complications and to stop the spread of the infection.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics are a convenient option for gonorrhea testing. They often have extended hours and don't require an appointment. One nearby option is the MEA Spillway Clinic in Brandon, MS. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at this clinic through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for gonorrhea. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in your area.
There are also community health centers that offer free or low-cost STD testing. These centers are often funded by the government or nonprofits and are a good option for people without insurance or with limited income.
At-home testing kits for gonorrhea are another option. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent to a lab for analysis. Results are usually available within a few days.
