What STIs can I be tested for in Cuttack?

At Better2Know’s Cuttack STI clinics, we offer comprehensive testing for a wide range of Venereal Diseases and Intimate Infections.  These are infections that are passed from one person to another, often through sexual contact.

STIs can lead to severe health problems for you and your future partners if they are left untreated.  If you have sex with new partners it is important to get tested every 3 to 6 months. Below is a list of STIs we test for at our Cuttack clinics:

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Syphilis

• Herpes

• HIV

• HPV

• Urine Culture

• Hepatitis A

• Hepatitis B

• Hepatitis C

• Rubella

• Cytomegalovirus

The earlier STIs and intimate infections are found by testing at our Cuttack clinics, the sooner you can start treatment and prevent health and fertility complications.

If you are concerned about more than one STI, our comprehensive STI screens will test for several STIs at once.  If you are not sure what to test for, please choose our Full Screen.

What kind of samples will I need to provide?

Most STI tests and screens offered by Better2Know in Cuttack 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 Cuttack helpline for more information about the testing process.

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

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