What STIs can I be tested for in Dzierżoniów?

At Better2Know’s Dzierżoniów 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 Dzierżoniów clinics:

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Syphilis

• Herpes

• HIV

• HPV/ Genital Warts

• Hepatitis A

• Hepatitis B

• Hepatitis C

• Trichomonas

• Mycoplasma

• Ureaplasma

The earlier STIs and intimate infections are found by testing at our Dzierżoniów 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 is the difference between a test and a screen?

An STI test is for when a patient is concerned about one infection. For example, if you have had unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who later informs you that they have Chlamydia, you would want to get a Chlamydia test.

An STI screen is recommended by the Better2Know Dzierżoniów medical team. A screen involves checking for several different STIs simultaneously. Screens are best used when an individual has had sex with a new partner and wants to get peace of mind by having a more comprehensive look at their sexual health.

Regular STI testing and screening is an essential part of maintaining good sexual health and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections in Dzierżoniów.

Can I get an STI if I did not have sex?

Yes, it is possible to contract an STI without sexual intercourse. While sexual intercourse is the most common transmission method, some STIs can be contracted through non-sexual means. Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes and Syphilis are all high risk for being passed on through oral and anal sex.  HIV is high risk for being passed on through anal sex.

Herpes and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can be spread through skin-to-skin contact.  This means that any contact with a blister or sore can pass on the virus. HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can be contracted through any blood-to-blood contact, this includes sex, sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment, needle stick injuries, through tears in the skin, or from mother to child during childbirth.

It is vital to understand that while sexual activity increases the risk of contracting an STI, abstaining from intercourse does not completely eliminate the risk. Regular STI testing with Better2Know in Dzierżoniów is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.

When should I get tested for an STI in Dzierżoniów?

All Venereal Diseases have an incubation period.  This is the time it takes for an infection to be detectable in your body from the time that you might have caught it. 

If you are worried about a specific incident in Dzierżoniów, then the incubation period varies between 10 and 28 days depending on the infection and test method.  You can book your STI Test appointment in advance.  Please choose a date on or after the incubation period.

If you are having a regular check-up, then the incubation period is less important.  Your results will be accurate for partners up to and before the incubation period of your tests or screens.

If you think you may have been exposed to an STI, or you have any symptoms, you should get tested.

Chlamydia test in Dzierżoniów

Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs in Dzierżoniów.  Over 50% of men and 75% of women will not have any symptoms of a Chlamydia infection, making it a silent yet significant threat to your health.

Regular Chlamydia testing is important for sexually active men and women in Dzierżoniów.  Early detection can prevent severe health complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease [PID] in women and reduced fertility and pain during urination or sex for men.

You can have a Chlamydia infection in your genitals, throat and rectum.  Each of these locations has a different test.  A urine test will detect Chlamydia in your genital area (for both men and women), but will not find an infection in your mouth if you have given oral sex to someone with Chlamydia.

In Dzierżoniów, Better2Know offers confidential, fast, and reliable Chlamydia testing services. Remember, getting tested is not only about individual health but also about protecting others and reducing the spread of STIs in your community.
