What samples do I need to provide?
Most of our STD testing options require blood samples, urine samples, or swabs. Recognising that some individuals may be uncomfortable with intimate swabs, many of our tests and screens are designed to require only blood or urine samples. Swabs are used only when necessary to detect specific infections.
A qualified medical professional will collect blood samples during your appointment. You will receive clear instructions on proper collection techniques for urine samples or swabs.
For more information about our testing procedures, please contact our 24/7 Edenvale helpline.
What STI test or screen should I get?
For those uncertain about which infections to test for, we recommend one of Better2Know's STD screens. These screens serve as precautionary measures when specific infection concerns are not identified.
Our STD tests, designed by medical professionals, test for a wide range of infections. Popular options include:
Platinum Screen: This is the most comprehensive STD screen available in South Africa. It screens for 11 major infections, including HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Herpes I & II, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Gardnerella, and Trichomonas.
Comfort Screen: Designed for individuals experiencing genital discomfort, this screen uses a single urine sample to test for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes I & II, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Gardnerella, and Trichomonas.
Peace of Mind Screen: Suitable for testing South Africa's most common STDs as early as 14 days post-incident, this screen checks for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, and Syphilis.
Additional tests can be added to any screen for a supplementary fee. For personalised testing options, please consult our trained Sexual Health Advisors via the helpline listed at the top of this page.

My partner and I did not have sex. Do I still need to get tested?
While sexually transmitted infections are most commonly spread through full sexual intercourse, transmission can occur through various other means. These include genital-to-genital contact, sexual intercourse without ejaculation, and sharing sex toys.
A sexually transmitted disease can also spread through non-sexual activities. For instance, Syphilis, HPV, and Herpes can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, while HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C can spread through blood-to-blood contact, such as needle sticks or sharing needles during intravenous drug use.
For more detailed information about how sexually transmitted diseases can spread, please get in touch with our team of Sexual Health Advisors, available 24/7 on our Edenvale helpline at the number provided at the top of this page.
