Can I get an STI if my partner and I did not have sex?

You can still get an STI even if you do not have full sexual intercourse. While having unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex will put you at higher risk of contracting or spreading an STI, some infections can also be spread in other ways.

The Herpes Simplex Virus, Syphilis, and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as coming into contact with a sore, wart, or skin blemish.  Other STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, can be spread through any blood-to-blood contact.  This includes needle stick injuries, using unsterilised equipment, or sharing needles.

If you are concerned about a sexual encounter, whether or not you used protection, you should get an STI test. You can use our online chat to speak to one of our advisors or book online now.

Chlamydia testing in Winklespruit

Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs in Winklespruit.  Over 50% of men and 75% of women will not have any symptoms of a Chlamydia infection, making it a silent yet significant threat to your health.

Regular Chlamydia testing is important for sexually active men and women in Winklespruit.  Early detection can prevent severe health complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease [PID] in women and reduced fertility and pain during urination or sex for men.

You can have a Chlamydia infection in your genitals, throat and rectum.  Each of these locations has a different test.  A urine test will detect Chlamydia in your genital area (for both men and women), but will not find an infection in your mouth if you have given oral sex to someone with Chlamydia.

In Winklespruit, Better2Know offers confidential, fast, and reliable Chlamydia testing services. Remember, getting tested is not only about individual health but also about protecting others and reducing the spread of STIs in your community.
