Everyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for syphilis, especially those with multiple sexual partners or those who engage in unprotected sex. Individuals who have been diagnosed with another sexually transmitted infection (STI) or those who have a partner diagnosed with an STI should also get tested. According to the CDC, men who have sex with men and pregnant women are particularly at risk and should be tested regularly.
Syphilis is a highly contagious bacterial infection 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, testing is the only way to know for sure if you have syphilis, as many of its symptoms are similar to other diseases.
Urgent care centers like NextCare Urgent Care in nearby Greeley and Longmont offer syphilis testing. You can book same-day or next-day appointments at these locations through Solv's website and mobile app.
Primary care providers can also conduct syphilis testing. If you have a regular doctor, they can be a good resource for testing and treatment.
There are also community health centers in and around Windsor that offer free or low-cost STD testing. These centers can be a valuable resource, especially for those without insurance.
At-home testing kits are another option. These can be ordered online and used in the privacy of your own home, with results typically available within a few days.
Windsor, located in Larimer County, has seen an increase in syphilis cases in recent years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, syphilis rates have been rising across the country, and Windsor is no exception. However, the rates in Windsor remain lower than in nearby counties such as Carbon County and Laramie County.
Risk factors for syphilis in Windsor include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and having another STI. Men who have sex with men are particularly at risk.
Syphilis is not the only STD of concern in Windsor. Other common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and hepatitis. Like syphilis, these diseases can be serious if not treated, and testing is crucial for those who are sexually active.
