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

When you arrive at Better2Know’s sexual health clinic in Akhaltsikhe, you will be greeted by reception and be shown to a private consultation room, where a nurse will take your sample. The samples you give will depend on your chosen screen or test. Your appointment will usually take no longer than 10-15 minutes. During the consultation, you can ask the nurse any questions you may have about the testing process.

Your sample will be sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis. Depending on the test or screen, this process will take between 1 to 7 days. When your results are ready, they will be uploaded to your secure online Patient Area. You will also receive notification of your results by SMS or email. Better2Know will help you access the medication and care you will need if you test positive.

What kind of samples will I need to provide?

Most STI tests and screens offered by Better2Know in Akhaltsikhe require either a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab sample.  Some screens will require a combination of these.

However, we understand that some people are not comfortable providing intimate swabs. That is why most of our tests and screens only require a blood or urine sample (or both). Swabs only need to be used in certain circumstances when testing for specific infections and are usually self collected.

A trained medical professional will collect blood samples during your appointment. If a urine sample or swab is required, you will be given instructions on how to collect it for your chosen tests.

Call our 24/7 Akhaltsikhe helpline for more information about the testing process.

How will I get my test results?

We understand that our patients will want to receive their STI test results as confidentially as possible. While we offer the option of receiving notifications of your test results via SMS or email, we also upload your results to your secure online Patient Area. This online space is protected through secure encryption and is only accessible to you. We endeavour to have all test results delivered between 1 to 7 days of our accredited laboratory receiving your sample.

Speak to a member of our Akhaltsikhe Patient Services team by calling the number listed at the top of this page. They will be able to answer any questions you may have about your test results.

What STIs should I get tested for?

Gonorrhoea testing in Akhaltsikhe

Gonorrhoea consistently ranks as one of the most common STIs in Akhaltsikhe. The infection can be transmitted by sexual activity, even without male or female ejaculation. If left untreated, a Gonorrhoea infection can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, issues with fertility, and, in rare cases, a gonococcal infection that can cause sepsis.

Gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.  If you do test positive, it is important to test again two weeks after you have finished your medication to ensure that the medication has worked.  We can help you get tested and treated for Gonorrhoea in Akhaltsikhe.

If you think you may have a Gonorrhoea infection, it is always better to know by getting tested. Our friendly Patient Services team can help you book a test at an STI testing clinic near you in Akhaltsikhe.
