Full STI Screen
What does this test include?
We will test for the following bacterial and viral
infections:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhoea
- Herpes
- Mycoplasma Genitalium
- Ureaplasma Urealyticum/Parvum
- Trichomonas Vaginalis
- Gardnerella/Bacterial Vaginosis
I have never heard of some of these infections. Are they serious?
Some bacterial infections can cause problems
if left untreated. Most infections are easy to treat using appropriate antibiotics
so it is important to be tested.
How does it work?
The test is urine based so you
need to provide a sample using the testing kit that we will supply. The lab will
then use your urine sample to ascertain if you have any of the above infections.
What if I test positive for any of these infections?
We will prescribe an appropriate
antibiotic or anti-viral for next day delivery.
How long does the test result take?
As we are testing for a variety of possible infections, this test will take 4 working
days from the time that we receive your sample back at the lab.
How reliable are the results?
We use one of the UK’s leading pathology labs and the process is the
same as if you were to use your own doctor other than the fact that we do not need
you to visit us in order to provide the sample.
How long should I wait after a risky event?
Some of the infections will not show up in a test for around 2 weeks so this
is the length of time we recommend waiting after a sexual encounter that might put
you at risk of picking up one of these infections.
