How likely am I to get an STD from an infected person?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to know for certain if a sexual encounter will lead to an infection. However, certain factors will make transmission more likely, including:
The type of STD
If you had unprotected sex
If you received anal sex
If you have an existing STI
How contagious your partner is
If you are concerned about the possibility of having an STI, you can get tested with Better2Know at our Benoni sexual health clinic. It is always better to know the status of your sexual health than to leave it up to chance.

How are STDs tested?
Most STDs can be detected using blood or urine samples. In a small number of instances, a swab sample may be needed to detect pathogens in a skin blemish, or if an infection is present in the mouth or rectum.
Better2Know offers various forms of testing – including antibody, antigen, and PCR testing – to detect a wide range of infections. We conduct these tests on samples that a healthcare professional takes during your appointment at one of our clinics.
