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 Nowa Sól 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 Nowa Sól. We will get you fast results to answer all your sexual health concerns.

Gonorrhoea tests in Nowa Sól
Gonorrhoea is one of the most common STIs in Nowa Sól. 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 Nowa Sól 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.
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 Nowa Sól is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.
