What STIs can I be tested for in Oława?
At Better2Know’s Oława 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 Oława clinics:
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
Herpes
HIV
HPV/ Genital Warts
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Trichomonas

The earlier STIs and intimate infections are found by testing at our Oława 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 Oława 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 Oława. We will get you fast results to answer all your sexual health concerns.
What are the most common STIs in Oława?
The most common intimate infections in Oława include:
Hepatitis C
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that reported cases of STIs in Poland showed that the infections were present but not being detected as most people were not getting tested regularly.
Better2Know makes getting tested in Oława quick and easy for men and women. The only way to know if you have a venereal disease is to get tested.
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 Oława 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 Oława.
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 Oława is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.
