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

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

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

If you test positive for an STI in Zestafoni, 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 Zestafoni Patient Services team to get more information about any advice or guidance you may need during this process.

If I have a sexually transmitted disease, can it be cured?

STDs are very common in Zestafoni, 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 Zestafoni.
