Should I stop having sex if I am worried about sexually transmitted infections?

If you have reason to believe you have a sexually transmitted infection – for instance, if you have had unprotected sex, begun a new sexual relationship, or are experiencing symptoms of an STI – you should stop having sex. If you are infected, having sex will increase the chance that you will pass your infection on to someone else.

To protect your sexual health and the health of those you care about, get tested for STIs with Better2Know today. Choose a clinic in Bloemfontein on the map on this page and select a test or screen that suits your needs.

How soon can HIV be detected on a blood test?

Better2Know offers two different types of HIV tests.

Our 10-day HIV test can be taken just 10 days after the initial infection and tests for the presence of the HIV 1 virus in the blood sample you provide.

Our 28-day HIV test, on the other hand, is the more comprehensive testing option. It combines tests for HIV 1 and 2 antibodies and a test for the p24 antigen. When taken 28 days after the initial infection, this test is 99.8% accurate.

To ensure you get the right HIV test for your circumstances, speak to a member of our Bloemfontein team at the number at the top of this page.

Can Gonorrhoea be cured?

Gonorrhoea can easily be cured. Most cases of Gonorrhoea can be detected with a single urine sample and easily cleared with a short round of antibiotics, sometimes even with a single dose.

If you test positive for an infection with Better2Know, we set you up with a confidential consultation with a private doctor. During this consultation, you will be able to ask your doctor any questions about your infection, your treatment, and what you can do to protect your sexual health moving forward.

Do not delay getting tested – the longer you wait, the more damage your infection can cause. Choose a clinic in Bloemfontein from the map on this page to secure an appointment today and get the Gonorrhoea treatment you need.
