According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's particularly common among young people aged 15-24. If you're in this age group, have multiple sexual partners, or a partner with a known STD, you should consider getting tested. Also, men who have sex with men, and pregnant women should get tested to prevent complications and transmission.
Gonorrhea is a serious health concern that can lead to significant complications if left untreated, including infertility in both men and women. It can also increase the risk of getting or giving HIV. Testing is the only sure way to know if you have gonorrhea, as many people with the disease don't have obvious symptoms. Early detection and treatment can prevent these complications and stop the spread of the disease.
Urgent care centers, like A+ Urgent Care in Menifee or Carbon Health Urgent Care in Murrieta, offer convenient, same-day testing for gonorrhea. These facilities often have shorter wait times than traditional doctor's offices and you can book appointments through Solv's website or mobile app.
Your primary care provider can also test for gonorrhea. If you're already established with a provider in Hemet, this can be a comfortable and convenient option.
Community health centers in and around Hemet may offer free or low-cost gonorrhea testing, particularly for those without insurance or with limited income.
At-home testing kits are another option. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent to a lab for analysis. This can be a good option for those who value privacy and convenience.
While specific data for Hemet is not readily available, Riverside County, where Hemet is located, has seen an increase in gonorrhea cases in recent years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, gonorrhea rates have increased in California and across the nation.
Risk factors for gonorrhea in Hemet are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include being sexually active, having multiple sexual partners, being a man who has sex with men, and having a partner with a known STD. Young people aged 15-24 are also at higher risk.
Gonorrhea is not the only STD of concern in Hemet and Riverside County. Other common STDs include chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. Like gonorrhea, these diseases can have serious health consequences if left untreated, but testing is available and treatment can be highly effective.
