According to the CDC, it's recommended that anyone who is sexually active should get tested for syphilis, especially those with multiple sexual partners, men who have sex with men, and individuals with HIV. Pregnant women should also be tested as syphilis can have serious health complications for both the mother and the baby.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial as it is a highly infectious disease that can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications. Moreover, knowing your status can help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
Urgent care centers such as A+ Urgent Care in Menifee and Rapid Care Enterprises in Moreno Valley offer syphilis testing. These centers often have shorter wait times and extended hours, making them a convenient option. Appointments can be booked same-day or next-day through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also conduct a syphilis test. If you don't have one, Solv can help you find a trusted provider in San Jacinto.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost STD testing. It's important to check with the specific center for their testing options and costs.
At-home testing kits for syphilis are also available. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent to a lab for analysis.
San Jacinto, located in Riverside County, has seen a rise in syphilis cases over the years, mirroring the national trend. According to the CDC, the county's syphilis rates are higher than in nearby counties such as San Diego County and La Paz County.

In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are prevalent in San Jacinto. It's important to get tested for all these diseases if you are at risk, as they often occur together.
