Where can I get a Herpes test in Boksburg?
Herpes is a very common viral sexually transmitted infection that causes outbreaks of blisters and sores on and around the mouth and genitals. Most people tend to contract the infection through kissing or sexual contact, like unprotected vaginal sex.
At Better2Know’s Boksburg clinic, getting tested for Herpes is easy. A simple blood test can detect the infection. If you think you may have Genital Herpes and do not want to get a blood test, you can get tested with a single urine sample. While Herpes cannot be cured, symptoms experienced during outbreaks can be lessened with antiviral medication.
For more information on Herpes testing and other STD tests, call our 24/7 helpline to speak to a member of our Patient Services team.

What are the symptoms of an STI?
It can be challenging to know if you have an STI. Many infections are pernicious because their symptoms can go unnoticed or are mistaken for other infections. Because of this, many people may not get tested.
Symptoms vary from infection to infection. When they do appear, symptoms of an STI may include:
Itching or burning sensations in the genitals or the groin area
Any unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
Pain or burning sensations during urination
Pain during normal sexual intercourse
New and unusual skin blemishes such as warts, sores, blisters, chancres, or rashes in or around the genitals, anus, or mouth
Lasting pain in the lower abdomen
Symptoms that may be mistaken for the flu or other infections, such as fever, body aches, or fatigue
Unexplained weight loss
Unusual vaginal bleeding between periods
You should note that most STIs do not present with any symptoms. It is possible to have an infection for months or years without knowing it.
If you have an STI and leave it untreated, you could develop serious health complications, such as problems with your fertility, an increased risk of developing certain cancers, reduced immune function, and problems with major organ systems.
