Chlamydia Testing in Karnal
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Karnal. It is easily passed on from one partner to another during sex. If left untreated it can cause long term health problems and may lead to infertility and other health issues.
You can catch Chlamydia in your genital area, throat (if you gave oral sex) or your rectum (if you received anal sex). You will need to test each area that might have Chlamydia.
A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Karnal in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.
Chlamydia often does not have any symptoms. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested in your nearest clinic in Karnal.
How do I get a Syphilis test in Karnal?
Syphilis is an infection caused by bacteria. It is a common infection passed on by skin contact with a syphilis sore. This most often happens during sex.
Both men and women can catch and pass on syphilis in Karnal. Syphilis can do a lot of damage to your health, but it can also be treated easily. You can get syphilis more than once.
If you have had syphilis once, it will always show up in future Syphilis tests, so please let us know if you have this infection before.
The first step in treating Syphilis is getting tested. Book your STI test at our Karnal sexual health clinic today to secure your sexual health.
Is it true that some STIs have no symptoms?
Yes. Often STIs do not present any symptoms such as itching, soreness when urinating or during sex, flu-like symptoms, or unusual discharge. Symptoms, if they do appear, can vary between different people and different STIs. Some common STI infections such as Chlamydia can present no symptoms at all. Around 90% of men and 70% of women who are infected with Chlamydia will never show any symptoms.
Because of this, it is important that you test regularly for STIs in Karnal. Regular testing at your local Better2Know clinic in Karnal will provide you with the health information you need to keep yourself, and your sexual partners safe from symptomless STIs.
STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Syphilis, Herpes, Hepatitis A, B and C are just a few common STIs that can present with no symptoms in the early stages of infection. No matter where you are, even in Karnal, the risk of catching one of these infections is high. Regular testing is the only way to protect your sexual health.

Can I still have sex if I have an STI?
If you test positive, it is recommended that you stop all sexual activity until you have completed your full course of antibiotics prescribed for your infection. You might also want to have follow up tests as recommended by Better2Know or your doctor, and not have sex until these come back negative.
If you have tested positive for Herpes, HIV or HPV you should consult with your Better2Know doctor about best practice for safe sex as these viruses require different management and treatment and may need long term follow up testing. If you do have sex in this time, be sure to practice safer sex and let your partner know the risks.
STIs in Karnal are passed from person to person through bodily fluids. Although generally safe, kissing can also pass on STIs such as Herpes and HPV. With that in mind, it is always best to stop all sexual activity until you have finished your course of treatment.
Better2Know in Karnal can answer all your questions regarding your positive result, offering 24/7 advice and guidance alongside consultations with your Better2Know doctor.
