Anyone who is sexually active is at risk of contracting gonorrhea, particularly those with multiple sexual partners. The CDC recommends that 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, should be tested for gonorrhea. Men who have sex with men should also be tested annually.
Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including infertility in women and an increased risk of getting or transmitting HIV. Regular testing is crucial for early detection and treatment. According to the CDC, testing can help prevent the spread of the infection to others and reduce the risk of complications.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer convenient, same-day testing for gonorrhea. Apex CliniCare in Beckett Ridge and Premier Urgent Care in Springboro and Woodbourne-Hyde Park are highly rated facilities in the Fairfield area. You can book same-day and next-day appointments at these locations through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for gonorrhea. If you're already established with a provider in Fairfield, this can be a comfortable and familiar option.
