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 Botoșani 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 Botoșani.

When should I get tested for an STI in Botoșani?

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 Botoșani, 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.

What samples do I need to provide for my STD test?

At Better2Know we understand that not everyone is comfortable with having their blood taken or providing an intimate swab.  We have designed our online sexual health booking system so that you can filter the tests available by the sample needed.

When you arrive at your Better2Know sexual health clinic in Botoșani, your blood samples will be taken by one of our trained and experienced healthcare professionals, they will also give you instructions on how to collect a urine sample and any swabs that are needed for your chosen tests.
