Clinics in Delmas

What will happen during my appointment at the Delmas sexual health clinic?

When you arrive at Better2Know’s sexual health clinic in Delmas, you will be greeted by reception and be shown to a private consultation room, where a nurse will take your sample. The samples you give will depend on your chosen screen or test. Your appointment will usually take no longer than 10-15 minutes. During the consultation, you can ask the nurse any questions you may have about the testing process.

Your sample will be sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis. Depending on the test or screen, this process will take between 1 to 7 days. When your results are ready, they will be uploaded to your secure online Patient Area. You will also receive notification of your results by SMS or email. Better2Know will help you access the medication and care you will need if you test positive.

HIV testing in Delmas

Both men and women are at risk of HIV in Delmas.  If you have had sex with a new male or female partner, then we suggest that you include an HIV test in your screen.  This is because it is important to detect HIV early so that you can begin treatment.  These days, most people with HIV will lead a normal length of life providing they start treatment early and take their medication regularly.

Our advanced blood tests can detect HIV in a small blood sample from just 10 days after any potential infection.  This is the earliest HIV test possible in Delmas.  HIV is also included in many of our STI screens.  It is always important to know your HIV status so that you can protect your own health and not pass the infection on.

If you are concerned about having HIV, call our helpline today to speak to our Sexual Health Advisors.  They will be happy to help you to book your HIV test.

What STIs should I get tested for?

If you are unsure what infections to get tested for, we recommend choosing one of Better2Know’s STI screens. They are all available at our Delmas sexual health clinic.  STI screens are used as a precautionary measure when you do not know what infection needs to be detected.

Better2Know’s STI screens are designed by medical professionals to test for a wide range of infections. Here are our most popular:

• Platinum Screen: This screen is the most comprehensive full panel STD test in Georgia, designed by medical professionals to test for 11 major STIs: HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Gardnerella, and Trichomonas.

• Comfort Screen: This screen is designed for anyone who may be experiencing pain, itching, or unusual discharge from their genitals. It uses a single urine sample to test for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Gardnerella, and Trichomonas.

• Peace of Mind Screen: Our Peace of Mind Screen is for anyone who wants to test for Georgia’s most common STDs as early as 14 days after an incident of concern: Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, and Syphilis.

You can also add tests for other infections onto any screen at a discounted price. Book your Delmas test online now by clicking on the clinic nearest you.

Gonorrhoea testing in Delmas

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection and a common STI in Delmas.  It can infect your genitals, mouth and anus depending on the type of sex you have had.  It is important to test all the areas separately.

If you test positive your Better2Know doctor will prescribe the right medication for you.  Gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.  This means that it is important to check that the medicine has worked.  You should take another Gonorrhoea test two weeks after you have finished your medication to make sure you have cleared the infection.

Better2Know can help you to get tested for Gonorrhoea in Delmas with a urine test (genital infection), mouth swab (if you have given oral sex) and anal swab (if you have received anal sex).  Please book your test online today.

Chlamydia testing in Delmas

Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the world. Most people who have a Chlamydia infection will not know they have it. Around 80% of women and 50% of men will have no symptoms or early signs of Chlamydia. Because of this, Chlamydia spreads easily between people.  If there are no symptoms, many people do not feel the need to get checked for Chlamydia in Delmas.

You do not need to wait for symptoms to appear to take control of your sexual health. Book an appointment at our private Better2Know STD clinic in Delmas today using the map on this page. If you need help with your booking or want more information about the testing process, you can speak to our helpful Patient Services team by calling the number at the top of this page.
