According to the CDC, everyone should get tested for hepatitis at least once in their lifetime, especially those with specific risk factors. These include individuals who have had unprotected sex, shared needles, or have lived with someone who has hepatitis. Furthermore, people born between 1945 and 1965, known as baby boomers, are five times more likely to have hepatitis C and should also get tested.
Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial as it is often asymptomatic, meaning people can live with the disease for years without knowing. Early detection can prevent serious liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. It also helps to prevent the spread of the disease to others.
Brecksville residents can get tested for hepatitis at urgent care and walk-in clinics such as Quickmed Urgent Care in nearby Strongsville, Akron, and Medina. These clinics offer same-day and next-day appointments, which can be booked through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Primary care providers are another reliable option for hepatitis testing. They can provide comprehensive care, including follow-up visits and treatment if necessary.
Free STD testing and community health centers in and around Brecksville also offer hepatitis testing. These centers often provide confidential testing and counseling services.
At-home testing kits for hepatitis are also available. These kits can be ordered online, used in the privacy of your home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis.
Brecksville, located in Summit County, has seen a steady increase in hepatitis cases over the past few years, mirroring the national trend. However, it's important to note that the prevalence of hepatitis in Brecksville remains lower than in some nearby counties such as Erie and Indiana County.
Risk factors for hepatitis in Brecksville are similar to those nationwide. They include unprotected sex, sharing needles, and close contact with a person who has hepatitis. Additionally, certain demographics, such as baby boomers, are at a higher risk.
Besides hepatitis, other common STDs in Brecksville include gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis. The rates of these STDs are also on the rise, underscoring the importance of regular testing.
