Gonorrhoea Testing in Mysuru
Mysuru has one of the highest rates of gonorrhoea infection in Australia. This is why testing yourself for Gonorrhoea has never been more important. By providing a simple urine or swab sample, you will know in a matter of just a few days if you are infected with Gonorrhoea.
Diagnosing Gonorrhoea early can prevent you from further health complications. The Gonorrhoea bacteria is increasingly gaining resistance to antibiotics. By testing and detecting it early, you will protect your health, reduce the rate of Gonorrhoea infections, and lower the number of antibiotic resistant cases of this worrying STI.
Testing for gonorrhoea in Mysuru could not be easier with Better2Know by your side.
HIV testing in Mysuru
Both men and women are at risk of HIV in Mysuru. If you have had sex with a new male or female partner, then we suggest that you include an HIV test in your screen. This is because it is important to detect HIV early so that you can begin treatment. These days, most people with HIV will lead a normal length of life providing they start treatment early and take their medication regularly.
Our advanced blood tests can detect HIV in a small blood sample from just 10 days after any potential infection. This is the earliest HIV test possible in Mysuru. HIV is also included in many of our STI screens. It is always important to know your HIV status so that you can protect your own health and not pass the infection on.
If you are concerned about having HIV, call our helpline today to speak to our Sexual Health Advisors. They will be happy to help you to book your HIV test.
How often should I get tested for an STI?
You should get tested for an STI every time you have an encounter with a new sexual partner.

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 Mysuru 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 Mysuru can answer all your questions regarding your positive result, offering 24/7 advice and guidance alongside consultations with your Better2Know doctor.
What is the difference between an STI test and an STI screen?
An STI test looks for one particular infection. An STI screen is a group of different STI tests. If you want to get tested for Chlamydia, you can have an STI test for Chlamydia or an STI Screen for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Syphilis. At Better2Know, we call this our Peace of Mind screen. This screen is available in Mysuru today.
Our STI Screens have been put together by our international team of sexual health experts. They put together different STI tests and provide excellent value and service.
You can choose what to get tested for in Mysuru by clicking on select next to your nearest clinic and then choosing the STIs you wish to get tested for. We will then show you the screens which include these STIs.
