Clinics in Hisar

Can I get an STI if my partner and I did not have sex?

You can still get an STI even if you do not have full sexual intercourse. While having unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex will put you at higher risk of contracting or spreading an STI, some infections can also be spread in other ways.

The Herpes Simplex Virus, Syphilis, and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as coming into contact with a sore, wart, or skin blemish.  Other STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, can be spread through any blood-to-blood contact.  This includes needle stick injuries, using unsterilised equipment, or sharing needles.

If you are concerned about a sexual encounter, whether or not you used protection, you should get an STI test. You can use our online chat to speak to one of our advisors or book online now.

Gonorrhoea Testing near you in Hisar

Gonorrhoea is an STI that can affect the genitals, mouth (if you have given oral sex) and anus (if you have received anal sex).  It is important to include Gonorrhoea in your STI tests in Hisar as it is a common STI. 

Gonorrhoea can cause infertility in women and reduced fertility in men.  It can be easily passed on from one person to another.  Most people with Gonorrhoea do not have any symptoms in the first few weeks and months of a new infection.

Our Hisar clinics near you test for Gonorrhoea in your genital area with a urine sample.  This will be tested in our laboratory and as soon as your results are back, we will report them to you.

How do I know if I have an STD?

Our doctors say that you cannot diagnose an STD on symptoms alone.  The only way to know if you have an STD is to get tested. 

Most men and women do not experience any symptoms when they contract an infection. Some people can go months or even years and not show many, or any, outward symptoms. That is why it is important to get tested often, especially if you are sexually active or have had sex with a new partner.

When they do occur, common STD symptoms include:

• Unusual discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus

• Painful urination

• Pain during sexual intercourse

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

• Itching around the genital area

• Pain in the abdomen

• Flu-like symptoms, including fever and headaches

• Unusual weight loss

• In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after sex

If left unaddressed, STDs can result in severe health complications including infertility, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, certain types of cancer, and a compromised immune system.

STIs and pregnancy in Hisar

When you or your partner is pregnant in Hisar, it is one of the most important times for a woman not to get an STI.  Having an STI while you are pregnant can cause serious damage to your unborn baby.  You should always follow the advice of your Hisar doctor and midwife when you are pregnant, but if you are worried you should test for:

• HIV

• Herpes (if you have never had herpes before)

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Syphilis

STIs can be passed on to your baby before or during the birth.  Most transmissions (passing on to your baby) can be prevented (including HIV) but your midwife needs to know that you have an STI to be able to stop the baby becoming unwell.
