Can I get an STI if my partner and I did not have sex?
You can still get an STI even if you do not have full sexual intercourse. While having unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex will put you at higher risk of contracting or spreading an STI, some infections can also be spread in other ways.
The Herpes Simplex Virus, Syphilis, and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as coming into contact with a sore, wart, or skin blemish. Other STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, can be spread through any blood-to-blood contact. This includes needle stick injuries, using unsterilised equipment, or sharing needles.
If you are concerned about a sexual encounter, whether or not you used protection, you should get an STI test. You can use our online chat to speak to one of our advisors or book online now.

When should I have an STI test?
If you are sexually active in Jeffreys Bay, getting tested regularly will help you maintain your sexual health and the sexual health of your future partners.
You should get tested if:
You are sexually active with more than one partner
You have had unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with a new partner
You have begun a sexual relationship with a new partner
You have sexual relationships with multiple partners
You have symptoms of an STI
A previous sexual partner tells you that they have an STI
It takes a short amount of time for an STI to be found in your body. This is called the incubation period. The incubation period will range from 10 to 28 days depending on the test and STI. If you have symptoms, you can get tested today.

What is the difference between an STI test and a screen?
An STI test is designed to confirm or rule out the presence of a specific infection. Individual tests are perfect for anyone who knows the single infection that they wish to test for.
An STI screen, designed by our medical team, looks for several infections at once. Screens are often used to get a broader picture of your sexual health when you have had a risky sexual encounter and want to protect your health. There is no way to know which STIs you may have caught without being tested.
If you would like to talk with someone about whether a test or screen would be right for you, speak to Better2Know’s Sexual Health Advisors in Jeffreys Bay today.
