According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can get gonorrhea, but it's most commonly found in people aged 15-24. It's particularly important for sexually active women under 25, as well as older women with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection, to get tested. Additionally, men who have sex with men should also be tested annually.
Getting tested for gonorrhea is crucial as it can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including pelvic inflammatory disease in women and epididymitis (a painful condition of the ducts attached to the testicles) in men. If pregnant, gonorrhea can cause complications such as premature delivery or low birth weight. It can also increase the risk of getting or transmitting HIV. Early detection through testing allows for prompt treatment to prevent these complications.
There are several urgent care and walk-in clinics in and around Tustin that offer gonorrhea testing. For instance, Carbon Health in Irvine, CA, and SoCal Urgent Care in Anaheim, CA, both offer testing services and have received high ratings for their short wait times and clean facilities.
Primary care providers in Tustin are another option for gonorrhea testing. They can provide testing as part of a regular check-up or upon request.
For those without insurance or who prefer a more affordable option, free STD testing is available at community health centers in Tustin and surrounding areas.
At-home testing kits for gonorrhea are also available for those who prefer privacy. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis.
Gonorrhea rates in Tustin, as in much of Orange County, have been on the rise in recent years, mirroring a national trend.

Risk factors for gonorrhea in Tustin include being sexually active, particularly without the use of condoms, and having multiple sexual partners. Men who have sex with men are also at a higher risk.
In addition to gonorrhea, other prevalent STDs in Tustin include chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. As with gonorrhea, rates of these STDs have also been increasing in recent years.
