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

When you arrive at Better2Know’s sexual health clinic in Lagodekhi, 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 Lagodekhi 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 Lagodekhi helpline for more information about the testing process.

What are the symptoms of an STI?

STIs can have many symptoms: some obvious and some less so. What makes many STIs so common in Lagodekhi is that many of their symptoms can be minor or mistaken for other less serious infections. Because of this, people may not get tested. That is why it is always better to know your sexual status if you are concerned about any symptoms.

The symptoms you get will depend on the infection. When they do appear, your symptoms may include:

• Itching or burning sensations in the genitals or the groin area

• Any unusual discharge from the penis or vagina

• Pain or burning sensations during urination

• Pain during normal sexual intercourse

• New and unusual skin blemishes such as warts, sores, blisters, chancres, or rashes in or around the genitals, anus, or mouth

• Lasting pain in the lower abdomen

• Symptoms that may be mistaken for the flu or other infections, such as fever, body aches, or fatigue

• Unexplained weight loss

• Unusual vaginal bleeding between periods

Most people with an STI do not have any symptoms in Lagodekhi. It is possible to have an infection for months or years and not know it.

If you have an STI and leave it untreated, you could develop serious health complications, such as problems with your fertility, an increased risk of developing cancer, reduced immune function, and problems with major organ systems.

Syphilis testing in Lagodekhi

Once thought to be fairly rare in modern times, Syphilis infections are on the rise around the world and in Lagodekhi. Regular testing for Syphilis in sexually active people will help reduce the spread.

Syphilis can cause serious harm to your health if it is not caught early enough. Identifying the infection can be difficult because Syphilis can often be mistaken for other, less serious infections, meaning most people will not seek medical attention when they have symptoms.
