What STIs can I be tested for in Nidzica?

At Better2Know’s Nidzica 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 Nidzica 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 Nidzica 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 are the symptoms of STIs?

Symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) vary depending on which one you have. Most men and women with an STI do not have any symptoms.  If you do have symptoms, then many different STIs share common symptoms, but need different treatment.  You cannot diagnose an STI based on symptoms alone.  It is important to get tested at your nearest sexual health clinic in Nidzica if you have symptoms or have had sex with a new partner so that you can get the right treatment.

The most common symptoms of venereal disease include:

• Unusual discharge from the penis, vagina, or anus

• Pain during urination

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Sores, blisters, bumps, or rashes on the genitals, rectum, or mouth

• Itching or irritation around the genital area

• Abdominal pain

• Fever or flu-like symptoms

• Swelling or tenderness in the genital area

• Unexplained weight loss

• In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after sex

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important that you get tested. Better2Know provides you with confidential and convenient STI testing in Nidzica.  We will get you fast results to answer all your sexual health concerns.

Gonorrhoea tests in Nidzica

Gonorrhoea is one of the most common STIs in Nidzica.  It can cause considerable damage to your health and fertility if it is not detected and treated quickly.  Gonorrhoea can be passed on by vaginal, oral and/ or anal sex.

The Gonorrhoea test at our Better2Know sexual health clinic in Nidzica is a simple, urine test used to detect the presence of the infection in your genitals, or a self-collected swab of your mouth/ throat or anus.

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 Nidzica 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 Nidzica.

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 Nidzica is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.
