What is an STI?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also called sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections that are typically spread through sexual contact. This includes vaginal, anal, and oral sex, sharing sex toys, and skin-to-skin contact during foreplay.  You do not need to have intercourse to pass on, or catch an STI.

STIs can also be transmitted through other means, such as sharing needles during intravenous drug use, getting a tattoo using unsterilised equipment, and sharing razors.

Common STIs in Liberia include:

• HIV

• Syphilis

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Herpes

• Hepatitis A

• Hepatitis B

• Hepatitis C

• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)/Genital Warts

• Trichomonas

• Mycoplasma

• Ureaplasma

• Gardnerella

Many STIs do not have any symptoms, especially in the first few weeks following infection.  STIs can affect individuals of all ages, races, and sexual orientations. That is why it is important to get tested regularly if you are sexually active.

What will happen during my appointment at the Liberia sexual health clinic?

Upon arriving at your chosen private Liberia sexual health clinic, you will be greeted by our friendly clinic staff.  At your STI test appointment a trained nurse will guide you through the testing process, answering any questions you have, and collecting your samples. Samples collected may include blood, urine, or swabs, depending on your chosen STI test or screen. You will be guided through the self-collection process for urine and swab samples. Your appointment should take around ten minutes.

Once your samples are collected, they will be sent to our accredited laboratory for fast and accurate analysis. The results will be uploaded to your secure online Patient Area, which you can check at any time.  We will send you an email or SMS when all your results are ready.

HIV testing in Liberia

Both men and women are at risk of HIV in Liberia.  If you have had sex with a new male or female partner, then we suggest that you include an HIV test in your screen.  This is because it is important to detect HIV early so that you can begin treatment.  These days, most people with HIV will lead a normal length of life providing they start treatment early and take their medication regularly.

Our advanced blood tests can detect HIV in a small blood sample from just 10 days after any potential infection.  This is the earliest HIV test possible in Liberia.  HIV is also included in many of our STI screens.  It is always important to know your HIV status so that you can protect your own health and not pass the infection on.

If you are concerned about having HIV, call our helpline today to speak to our Sexual Health Advisors.  They will be happy to help you to book your HIV test.

Gonorrhoea testing in Liberia

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection and a common STI in Liberia.  It can infect your genitals, mouth and anus depending on the type of sex you have had.  It is important to test all the areas separately.

If you test positive your Better2Know doctor will prescribe the right medication for you.  Gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.  This means that it is important to check that the medicine has worked.  You should take another Gonorrhoea test two weeks after you have finished your medication to make sure you have cleared the infection.

Better2Know can help you to get tested for Gonorrhoea in Liberia with a urine test (genital infection), mouth swab (if you have given oral sex) and anal swab (if you have received anal sex).  Please book your test online today.

Do I need to see a doctor to get my STI test results?

All of your STI test results will be reported securely online.  There is no need to visit a doctor to get your results. Once you have attended your appointment at your local Better2Know sexual health clinic and your samples have been analysed, your results will be securely uploaded to your online patient area. 

Better2Know prides itself on confidentiality and ensuring your privacy and overall comfort.

How do you keep my STI test confidential?

Privacy and discretion are fundamental to our service. We do not need to know your real name or date of birth to make a booking at our Liberia clinic.  We just need a name that you would like us to call when we speak with you.  We also need a way to contact you with your results.  We will use the name that you gave us all the way through.  We will also give you a Better2Know PIN number to use for your booking.

At Better2Know, we want to help you protect your sexual health.  We have developed our service to remove common reasons why people do not want to get tested.  The most common being that most of the people we serve do not want anyone else to know they have got tested.
