Clinics in Randfontein

What kind of samples will I need to provide?

Most STI tests and screens offered by Better2Know in Randfontein 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 Randfontein 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.
