Confidential & Discreet STD Testing in Singapore

What Are Common Symptoms of STDs / STIs

While some infections present no symptoms, others may show warning signs such as:

• Unusual genital or anal discharge (thick or watery)
• 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
• Unexpected vaginal bleeding, including between periods or post-intercourse
• General symptoms such as fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, or swollen lymph nodes

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.

STD Treatment in Singapore

Most STDs can be effectively treated or managed with appropriate medical care. Treatment depends on the specific infection diagnosed.

Curable Infections

These bacterial and parasitic infections can be completely cured with antibiotics:

• Chlamydia: Antibiotics (doxycycline is preferred; azithromycin is an alternative in pregnancy) are used to cure the infection.
• Gonorrhoea: Antibiotics (ceftriaxone is first-line) are used to cure the infection.
• Syphilis / Treponema pallidum: Antibiotics, most commonly penicillin, are used to cure the infection.
• Trichomonas: Antibiotics (metronidazole or tinidazole) are used to cure the infection.
• Haemophilus ducreyi (Chancroid): Antibiotics (such as ceftriaxone, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, or erythromycin) are used to clear the infection.
• Lymphogranuloma Venereum: Antibiotics (typically doxycycline) are used to treat the infection.
• Mycoplasma genitalium: Antibiotics (moxifloxacin or doxycycline, depending on resistance) are used to treat the infection.
• Hepatitis C: Direct-acting antiviral medications are used to cure the infection in most cases.

Manageable Infections

These viral infections cannot be cured but can be effectively controlled with antiviral medications:

• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Antiviral medications (antiretroviral therapy) are used to control the virus and prevent progression to AIDS.
• Hepatitis B: Antiviral medications are used to manage chronic infection and reduce liver damage risk.
• Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2: Antiviral medications (such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir) are used to reduce symptoms and frequency of outbreaks.
• Varicella Zoster Virus: Antiviral medications (such as acyclovir or valacyclovir) are used to reduce symptoms.
• Cytomegalovirus: Antiviral medications are considered only for immunocompromised patients.

Conditional Treatment

These infections may not always require treatment, depending on individual circumstances:

• Mycoplasma hominis: Antibiotics may be used if treatment is needed, but routine treatment is not always indicated.
• Ureaplasma parvum: Antibiotics may be used if treatment is needed, but routine treatment is not always indicated.
• Ureaplasma urealyticum: Antibiotics may be used if treatment is needed.

Our doctors will discuss the most appropriate treatment options based on your diagnosis and individual circumstances.
