Chlamydia tests in Welkom

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the world.  Most men and women with a Chlamydia infection do not have any symptoms.  Especially in the first few weeks and months of infection.  Our Welkom clinic tests men and women for Chlamydia with a simple urine sample.

If you have had unprotected sex with a new partner, you should have a test for Chlamydia.  You should not wait for Chlamydia symptoms to appear to get tested. 

Book an STI test at a Better2Know sexual health clinic in Welkom today using the map on this page. You can also book your appointment by calling our 24/7 helpline and speaking to a member of our Patient Services team.

Gonorrhoea Testing in Welkom

Welkom has one of the highest rates of gonorrhoea infection in Australia. This is why testing yourself for Gonorrhoea has never been more important. By providing a simple urine or swab sample, you will know in a matter of just a few days if you are infected with Gonorrhoea.

Diagnosing Gonorrhoea early can prevent you from further health complications. The Gonorrhoea bacteria is increasingly gaining resistance to antibiotics. By testing and detecting it early, you will protect your health, reduce the rate of Gonorrhoea infections, and lower the number of antibiotic resistant cases of this worrying STI.

Testing for gonorrhoea in Welkom could not be easier with Better2Know by your side.
