What kind of samples will I need to provide?
Most STI tests and screens offered by Better2Know in Gurjaani 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 Gurjaani helpline for more information about the testing process.
If I have a sexually transmitted disease, can it be cured?
STDs are very common in Gurjaani, and most are easily cured. Depending on the infection, you may only need a single dose of medication to clear the infection. The treatment you get will depend on the STD you have tested positive for.
There are some STDs that cannot be cured. These can be effectively managed with the right health care and treatment to help you live a long and healthy life.
For more information on STDs and how they are cured, call the phone number listed on this page to speak to one of our knowledgeable and friendly Sexual Health Advisors in Gurjaani.
Gonorrhoea testing in Gurjaani
Gonorrhoea consistently ranks as one of the most common STIs in Gurjaani. 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 Gurjaani.
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 Gurjaani.
