What Is an STD Test?

An STD test is used to identify infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, genital herpes, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, and HIV.

There is no universal test that screens for all STDs or STIs. The selection of tests is often based on your symptoms, risk profile, and sexual history. Most screening procedures are relatively quick, using urine, blood, or swab samples, and typically take under 30 minutes to perform.

Pain burning or itching during urination
Persistent genital itching or irritation
Sores ulcers blisters or rashes around the genital or anal area
Pain during or after intercourse
Swelling or tenderness in the genital region

If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect exposure, seek medical assessment for proper diagnosis and care.

Why Should You Get Tested for STDs?

Testing for STDs is crucial in safeguarding both your health and that of your sexual partners. Many infections can be asymptomatic, meaning you may not realise you are infected without a medical test. Identifying an infection early enables timely treatment and lowers the risk of complications.

Routine testing is especially recommended for those with new or multiple partners, or if there has been potential exposure. Even in the absence of symptoms, regular screening supports responsible sexual health management and helps prevent onward transmission of infections.

Common STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea can be detected through a simple urine or swab test. If left untreated, these infections may lead to fertility issues.

How to Prepare for an STD Test?

Fasting is not required. You may eat and drink as usual before your appointment.
If your test involves a urine sample:
- Try to avoid urinating for one to two hours before your visit. This helps ensure that the sample is concentrated and suitable for accurate testing.
- When collecting the sample provide the first part of your urine stream. This is known as the first void and should go directly into the sterile container provided.
- Do not clean your genital area before collection unless your doctor has specifically advised you to do so.

It is important to follow all instructions provided by your doctor. If you have any questions our clinic staff will be happy to assist you.
