According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's particularly prevalent among young people aged 15-24 years. If you've had unprotected sex, have a new partner, have multiple partners, or a partner who has an STD, you should consider getting tested. It's also recommended for all pregnant women, as gonorrhea can cause serious complications for both mother and baby if left untreated.
Getting tested for gonorrhea is crucial because it often has no symptoms, especially in women. If left untreated, it can cause serious health problems such as pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which can lead to infertility. In men, gonorrhea can cause a painful condition in the tubes attached to the testicles, which can also lead to infertility. Moreover, having gonorrhea increases your risk of getting or giving HIV.
Urgent care centers like Medallus Urgent Care in Draper, UT offer same-day and next-day appointments for gonorrhea testing. You can easily book an appointment through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also conduct a gonorrhea test. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in Saratoga Springs or nearby cities like Lehi and American Fork.
There are also free STD testing centers and community health centers in and around Saratoga Springs that provide gonorrhea testing.
At-home testing kits for gonorrhea are another option. These can be purchased online or at a local pharmacy. After taking the test, you send it to a lab and receive your results electronically.
While specific data for Saratoga Springs is not readily available, according to the CDC, Utah County, where Saratoga Springs is located, has seen a steady increase in gonorrhea cases over the past few years. This trend aligns with national data showing an overall increase in gonorrhea cases.

In addition to gonorrhea, other common STDs in Saratoga Springs and Utah County include chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. As with gonorrhea, these STDs can be tested for at local urgent care centers, primary care providers, and community health centers.
