Clinics in Panaji

If I have an STI, can it be cured?

STIs are incredibly common, and most are easily cured. Depending on the infection, you may only need a single dose of medication to clear the infection.

Some STIs cannot be cured, but even these can be effectively managed with the right care and treatment. Getting an STI does not mean you cannot live a long and healthy life.

The most important thing is to get tested. Book an STI test at one of our Panaji sexual health clinics by choosing one from the map above.

Gonorrhoea testing in Panaji

Better2Know provides comprehensive Gonorrhoea testing at our private sexual health clinic in Panaji. By providing a single urine sample, you can get reliable test results within a matter of days.

It is important to know that catching Gonorrhoea early can prevent further complications. Untreated Gonorrhoea infections can cause infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and other forms of damage to your sexual health.

Call our Patient Services team to secure an STI test appointment today, or choose a clinic near you on the map above.

HIV testing in Panaji

HIV is a serious public health concern in Panaji.  If left untreated, an HIV infection can progress to AIDS, which greatly compromises your immune system and can even be fatal.

The good news is that HIV can be easily detected and managed. Consistent treatment programs can lessen the likelihood of passing on the virus and minimise the infection's effect on your health.

If you are concerned about HIV, choose a clinic from the map above to start your online booking.

What if I test positive for an STI?

Do not worry if you test positive for an STI. Better2Know's team of Sexual Health Advisors and doctors are on hand to support and guide you through the next steps.

First, you should stop all sexual activity and inform any recent sexual partners of your result. You can do this anonymously using Better2Know's Partner Notification System, which is available in your online Patient Area.

We will then connect you with a Better2Know doctor who can help you access medication to help treat your infection.

If you have any questions about the testing process, call the number listed at the top of this page to speak to a member of our team.
