Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for syphilis, especially if they have multiple partners or engage in unprotected sex. Those who are pregnant, have HIV, or have a partner who has tested positive for syphilis should also get tested. As the CDC advises, regular testing is crucial for those at higher risk.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can lead to serious health issues if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications. Moreover, getting tested helps to control the spread of the disease in the community.
