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

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. Depending on the test or screen that you choose, a blood, urine or swab sample will be taken. For some screens, a combination of these samples will be necessary.

When you arrive at your Better2Know sexual health clinic in Turda, 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.

What is an STI?

An STI, or sexually transmitted infection, is an infection that is primarily passed through sexual contact. These infections are a serious public health issue as many do not present with symptoms. That is why it is especially important to get tested regularly if you are sexually active and not in a committed monogamous relationship.
