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.

If I have a sexually transmitted disease, can it be cured?
STDs are very common in White River, and most are easily cured. Depending on the infection, you may only need a single dose of medication to clear the infection. The treatment you get will depend on the STD you have tested positive for.
There are some STDs that cannot be cured. These can be effectively managed with the right health care and treatment to help you live a long and healthy life.
For more information on STDs and how they are cured, call the phone number listed on this page to speak to one of our knowledgeable and friendly Sexual Health Advisors in White River.
Chlamydia testing in White River
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in White River. That is why getting tested for it is important, as many people have it. It is easily transmitted between sexual partners during vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
Most men and women who have a Chlamydia infection do not have any symptoms in the first few months. However, in this time, Chlamydia can cause serious damage to your health and fertility, including conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy in women, and prostatitis and epididymitis in men.
Better2Know make having a Chlamydia test in White River as easy as possible. A urine test will detect a genital infection, or a self-collected swab is needed to detect an infection in your throat or anus. It is important to test all parts of your body that may have Chlamydia.
Gonorrhoea testing in White River
Gonorrhoea consistently ranks as one of the most common STIs in White River. The infection can be transmitted by sexual activity, even without male or female ejaculation. If left untreated, a Gonorrhoea infection can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, issues with fertility, and, in rare cases, a gonococcal infection that can cause sepsis.
Gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. If you do test positive, it is important to test again two weeks after you have finished your medication to ensure that the medication has worked. We can help you get tested and treated for Gonorrhoea in White River.
If you think you may have a Gonorrhoea infection, it is always better to know by getting tested. Our friendly Patient Services team can help you book a test at an STI testing clinic near you in White River.
