Are STI rates increasing in Sydney?

In recent years, STIs such as Gonorrhoea and Syphilis have experienced a state-wide increase in positive cases. Syphilis infections, for example, rose 5% in the last year, while Gonorrhoea rates increased a staggering 27% in the same period. At Better2Know, we understand that getting an STI test can be a difficult decision. That is why we aim to make your experience with us as pleasant and stress-free as possible. If you are worried about your sexual health or have concerns about a particular STI, we can help with swift, efficient testing and pathology in Sydney and the rest of New South Wales.

How does STI testing in Sydney work?

At your appointment in Sydney, your samples will be taken by a discreet qualified clinician or phlebotomist (someone who can take a blood sample). They will collect the samples needed for your choice of tests. Your samples will be sent for analysis at our fully certified, Australian laboratory. Results should be ready within five working days of your sample’s arrival at the laboratory, though tests for infections such as HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B, as well as many of the STI screens we offer, will return your results even sooner.

How do I get my STI Test results?

Results are reported to your secure patient login area of our website using the lastest technology. You can access your results at any time. A member of Better2Know’s sexual health advisory team will also contact you once all your results are ready unless you would prefer to contact us yourself.

What happens if I have an STI?

If any of your tests are positive, Better2Know will arrange for you to speak with a Sydney-based doctor who will get you a prescription for any medications you need or provide you with a referral to an appropriate specialist service.

STI and an STD: What is the difference?

An STI is a Sexually Transmitted Infection, and STD is a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Given the choice between an infection and a disease (after neither), most people choose an infection. This better describes how what we at Better2Know test you for and how it is treated. So STI is the more contemporary term used in clinics.
