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

When you arrive at Better2Know’s sexual health clinic in Poti, 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.

If I test positive, do I need to tell my sexual partners?

If you test positive for an STI in Poti, it is best to inform all your current and recent sexual partners about your status, wherever they are. Doing this will help you protect their sexual health and keep the infection from spreading.

We understand that telling sexual partners about an STI can be embarrassing or awkward for some people. That is why we offer our Partner Notification system. This system allows you to send an anonymous notification to your sexual partners about your status that does not reveal your identity. Our partner notification system is available to you in your secure patient area putting you in total control of who you tell and if you share your name with them.

Call our Poti Patient Services team to get more information about any advice or guidance you may need during this process.

What STIs should I get tested for?

Syphilis testing in Poti

Once thought to be fairly rare in modern times, Syphilis infections are on the rise around the world and in Poti. 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.

Get your Syphilis test today by scheduling an appointment at one of Better2Know’s Poti sexual health clinics. Call the number listed at the top of this page or begin your booking by choosing a clinic near you on the map provided.

Chlamydia testing in Poti

Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the world. Most people who have a Chlamydia infection will not know they have it. Around 80% of women and 50% of men will have no symptoms or early signs of Chlamydia. Because of this, Chlamydia spreads easily between people.  If there are no symptoms, many people do not feel the need to get checked for Chlamydia in Poti.

You do not need to wait for symptoms to appear to take control of your sexual health. Book an appointment at our private Better2Know STD clinic in Poti today using the map on this page. If you need help with your booking or want more information about the testing process, you can speak to our helpful Patient Services team by calling the number at the top of this page.
