What is an STI?

An STI, or sexually transmitted infection, is an infection that is primarily passed through sexual contact. These infections are a serious public health issue as many do not present with symptoms. That is why it is especially important to get tested regularly if you are sexually active and not in a committed monogamous relationship.

What is the difference between a test and a screen?

An STI test is for when a patient is concerned about one infection. For example, if you have had unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who later informs you that they have Chlamydia, you would want to get a Chlamydia test.

An STI screen is recommended by the Better2Know Stanger medical team. A screen involves checking for several different STIs simultaneously. Screens are best used when an individual has had sex with a new partner and wants to get peace of mind by having a more comprehensive look at their sexual health.

Regular STI testing and screening is an essential part of maintaining good sexual health and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections in Stanger.
