What is the difference between a test and a screen?

An STI test detects a single infection. Tests are often used when there is a reason to look for a specific infection, like when a sexual partner tells you they have an STI.

An STI screen, on the other hand, detects several infections. A screen is used when you do not know what infection to test for but when there is still the possibility of exposure. An STI screen is the best option when you have had an unsafe sexual encounter, and you want to protect your sexual health.

Not sure which one to get? You can discuss your situation with our Sexual Health Advisors. They can help you choose a test or screen and schedule an appointment at a sexual health clinic in Vanderbijlpark.
