Chlamydia testing in Ploiesti
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in Ploiesti. Most people do not know they have a Chlamydia infection as over 50% of women and 75% of men do not have any symptoms. This means that they can unknowingly pass Chlamydia on to their next partner. If left untreated Chlamydia can damage your health and fertility.
If you are worried about a Chlamydia infection, your Better2Know clinic in Ploiesti offers fast and accurate Chlamydia testing options. All you need to do is provide a small self-collected urine sample at one of our Ploiesti health clinics.
You can book your appointment online now or call our 24/7 helpline if you have any questions.
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 Ploiesti is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.

When should I get tested for an STI in Ploiesti?
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 Ploiesti, 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.
Why should I get tested and treated for an STI?

What is the difference between an STI test and a screen?
An STI test is designed to confirm or rule out the presence of a specific infection. Individual tests are perfect for anyone who knows the single infection that they wish to test for.
An STI screen, designed by our medical team, looks for several infections at once. Screens are often used to get a broader picture of your sexual health when you have had a risky sexual encounter and want to protect your health. There is no way to know which STIs you may have caught without being tested.
If you would like to talk with someone about whether a test or screen would be right for you, speak to Better2Know’s Sexual Health Advisors in Ploiesti today.
