What kind of samples will I need to provide?

Most STI tests and screens offered by Better2Know in Samgori 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 Samgori 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 Samgori 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 are the symptoms of an STI?

STIs can have many symptoms: some obvious and some less so. What makes many STIs so common in Samgori 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 Samgori. 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.
