What will happen during my appointment at the Dundee sexual health clinic?
Upon arriving at your chosen private Dundee sexual health clinic, you will be greeted by our friendly clinic staff. At your STI test appointment a trained nurse will guide you through the testing process, answering any questions you have, and collecting your samples. Samples collected may include blood, urine, or swabs, depending on your chosen STI test or screen. You will be guided through the self-collection process for urine and swab samples. Your appointment should take around ten minutes.
Once your samples are collected, they will be sent to our accredited laboratory for fast and accurate analysis. The results will be uploaded to your secure online Patient Area, which you can check at any time. We will send you an email or SMS when all your results are ready.
What are the symptoms of an STI?
STIs can have many symptoms: some obvious and some less so. What makes many STIs so common in Dundee is that many of their symptoms can be minor or mistaken for other less serious infections. Because of this, people may not get tested. That is why it is always better to know your sexual status if you are concerned about any symptoms.
The symptoms you get will depend on the infection. When they do appear, your symptoms 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
Most people with an STI do not have any symptoms in Dundee. It is possible to have an infection for months or years and not know 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 cancer, reduced immune function, and problems with major organ systems.

Gonorrhoea testing in Dundee
Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection and a common STI in Dundee. 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 Dundee 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 Dundee
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 Dundee.
