What samples do I need to provide for my STI test?

Better2Know’s STI tests and screens require a blood, urine, or swab sample, and most screens require a combination of these.

We understand that you may feel uncomfortable providing an intimate swab, so most of our tests and screens only require blood and urine samples. Swabs are only necessary in specific situations when testing for certain infections.

A trained medical professional will collect any required blood samples during your appointment. If a urine sample or swab is needed, you will receive clear instructions on collecting it for your chosen tests.

For more information about the testing process, call our 24/7 Coimbatore helpline.

What are the symptoms of an STI?

Most men and women do not experience any symptoms when they have an STI, especially in the early weeks and months after a new infection. The only way to know if you have an STI is to get tested.

Symptoms of an STI can include:

• Unusual discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus

• Painful urination

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Blemishes such as sores, blisters, bumps, or rashes on the genitals, rectum, or mouth

• Itching around the genital area

• Abdominal pain

• Flu-like symptoms, including fever and headaches

• Unusual weight loss

• In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, especially after sex
