What are the situations where I should get tested?

Sexually active women and men in Rustenburg should prioritise regular STD testing to ensure their well-being and that of their current and future sexual partners.

Consider the following scenarios where testing is recommended:

1. Proactive care: If you wish to manage your sexual health proactively, regular testing is a prudent step.

2. New partners: After engaging in unprotected vaginal sex, anal sex, or oral sex with a new partner, timely testing is crucial.

3. Multiple partners: Being sexually active with more than one partner increases the importance of consistent testing.

4. Symptoms: Experiencing symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection warrants immediate testing.

5. Partner disclosure: If a previous sexual partner informs you of their STI status, you should get a urine, swab, or blood test.

Getting an STI is nothing to be ashamed of – many people get STIs every day. The important thing is to get tested so you can get treated.

What is the difference between an STD and an STI?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) refer to the same group of conditions, but the term "STI" is now more commonly used. The word "infection" is generally considered less intimidating than "disease." This shift in language is intended to reduce stigma and encourage more frequent testing.

At Better2Know, we focus on educating and destigmatising sexual health concerns, paired with advanced testing services. Our mission is to promote proactive healthcare and support informed decisions about your sexual well-being.
