Chlamydia tests in Groblersdal

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the world.  Most men and women with a Chlamydia infection do not have any symptoms.  Especially in the first few weeks and months of infection.  Our Groblersdal clinic tests men and women for Chlamydia with a simple urine sample.

If you have had unprotected sex with a new partner, you should have a test for Chlamydia.  You should not wait for Chlamydia symptoms to appear to get tested.

Gonorrhoea Testing in Groblersdal

Groblersdal has one of the highest rates of gonorrhoea infection in Australia. This is why testing yourself for Gonorrhoea has never been more important. By providing a simple urine or swab sample, you will know in a matter of just a few days if you are infected with Gonorrhoea.

Diagnosing Gonorrhoea early can prevent you from further health complications. The Gonorrhoea bacteria is increasingly gaining resistance to antibiotics. By testing and detecting it early, you will protect your health, reduce the rate of Gonorrhoea infections, and lower the number of antibiotic resistant cases of this worrying STI.

Testing for gonorrhoea in Groblersdal could not be easier with Better2Know by your side.

What is a sexually transmitted infection?

A sexually transmitted infection (STI), sometimes called a sexually transmitted disease (STD), is an infection that is most often passed from one person to another during sex.  This can include skin, blood, semen, or bodily fluid contact. 

HIV is passed on by blood-to-blood contact which can occur during penetrative sex, or the sharing of needles.  Herpes is passed on by skin to skin contact and can be passed on whether or not penetration occurred.

You do not need to have vaginal or anal sex to have an STI.  STIs can be passed on during oral sex, kissing and mutual masturbation.

STIs usually do not have symptoms in the first few weeks of a new infection, which is why they are easy to pass on.  You can book your appointment today by calling our 24/7 Groblersdal helpline. You can also book online using the map on this page to find a sexual health clinic near you.

Many STIs do not present symptoms in the early and sometimes even later stages of infection. Symptoms will also often vary between infection and person. Regular testing in Groblersdal with your local Better2Know clinic is the only way to keep yourself and your partners safe from STIs.
