HPV Testing in Carletonville

HPV stands for Human Papilloma Virus, is very common and can be contracted by both men and women in Carletonville.  There are over 100 different types of HPV, about 40 of the types can be transmitted by sexual or skin-skin contact, and 14 of these are said to be High Risk for certain cervical cancers in women and penile cancers in men. 

HPV is also the virus which causes genital warts.  These are Low Risk HPV types and means that they are not associated with cancer.  However, the warts can be uncomfortable or painful. Knowing what they are, means that you can get the right treatment to remove them.

Testing for HPV regularly is important. Women can have an HPV test at any time when they do not have a period.  Men should have the test when they have a genital wart or lesion.  At your appointment in Carletonville your nurse will collect your sample and send it to our laboratory for fast and accurate analysis.

Gonorrhoea testing in Carletonville

Gonorrhoea consistently ranks as one of the most common STIs in Carletonville. The infection can be transmitted by sexual activity, even without male or female ejaculation. If left untreated, a Gonorrhoea infection can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, issues with fertility, and, in rare cases, a gonococcal infection that can cause sepsis.

Gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.  If you do test positive, it is important to test again two weeks after you have finished your medication to ensure that the medication has worked.  We can help you get tested and treated for Gonorrhoea in Carletonville.

If you think you may have a Gonorrhoea infection, it is always better to know by getting tested. Our friendly Patient Services team can help you book a test at an STI testing clinic near you in Carletonville.
