A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Bonny Hills in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.

Chlamydia often does not have any symptoms. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested in your nearest clinic in Bonny Hills.

How often should I get tested for an STI?

You should get tested for an STI every time you have an encounter with a new sexual partner. It can be easy to let life in Bonny Hills take over and not prioritise your sexual health but protecting and maintaining your overall health as well as your sexual health will lead to a better understanding of yourself going forward.

Testing often in Bonny Hills is easy with your local Better2Know testing centre. With flexible appointment times we can fit into your schedule with ease.

Can I still have sex if I have an STI?

If you test positive, it is recommended that you stop all sexual activity until you have completed your full course of antibiotics prescribed for your infection. You might also want to have follow up tests as recommended by Better2Know or your doctor, and not have sex until these come back negative.

If you have tested positive for Herpes, HIV or HPV you should consult with your Better2Know doctor about best practice for safe sex as these viruses require different management and treatment and may need long term follow up testing.   If you do have sex in this time, be sure to practice safer sex and let your partner know the risks.

STIs in Bonny Hills are passed from person to person through bodily fluids. Although generally safe, kissing can also pass on STIs such as Herpes and HPV. With that in mind, it is always best to stop all sexual activity until you have finished your course of treatment.
