What kind of samples will I need to provide?
Most STI tests and screens offered by Better2Know in Hartbeespoort require either a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab sample. Some screens will require a combination of these.
However, we understand that some people are not comfortable providing intimate swabs. That is why most of our tests and screens only require a blood or urine sample (or both). Swabs only need to be used in certain circumstances when testing for specific infections and are usually self collected.
A trained medical professional will collect blood samples during your appointment. If a urine sample or swab is required, you will be given instructions on how to collect it for your chosen tests.
Call our 24/7 Hartbeespoort helpline for more information about the testing process.
Should I stop having sex if I am concerned about having an STI?
If you are concerned that you have an STI, you should stop having sex until you have been tested and completed any prescribed treatment. This advice is important to prevent the spread of the infection to your other sexual partners.
After treatment, regular testing, and safe sex practices, such as using condoms, can help you manage your sexual health responsibly while reducing the risk of STI transmission.
Book your Better2Know STI test in Hartbeespoort online now. We can help you to get fast results and access any treatment that you need.
If I test positive, do I need to tell my sexual partners?
If you test positive for an STI in Hartbeespoort, it is best to inform all your current and recent sexual partners about your status, wherever they are. Doing this will help you protect their sexual health and keep the infection from spreading.
We understand that telling sexual partners about an STI can be embarrassing or awkward for some people. That is why we offer our Partner Notification system. This system allows you to send an anonymous notification to your sexual partners about your status that does not reveal your identity. Our partner notification system is available to you in your secure patient area putting you in total control of who you tell and if you share your name with them.
Call our Hartbeespoort Patient Services team to get more information about any advice or guidance you may need during this process.
HIV testing in Hartbeespoort
Both men and women are at risk of HIV in Hartbeespoort. 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 Hartbeespoort. 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.
Syphilis testing in Hartbeespoort
Once thought to be fairly rare in modern times, Syphilis infections are on the rise around the world and in Hartbeespoort. Regular testing for Syphilis in sexually active people will help reduce the spread.
Syphilis can cause serious harm to your health if it is not caught early enough. Identifying the infection can be difficult because Syphilis can often be mistaken for other, less serious infections, meaning most people will not seek medical attention when they have symptoms.
Get your Syphilis test today by scheduling an appointment at one of Better2Know’s Hartbeespoort sexual health clinics. Call the number listed at the top of this page or begin your booking by choosing a clinic near you on the map provided.
