Description
Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a common STD that affects both males and females and generally shows no symptoms. If left untreated, it can result in serious health complications and can easily be spread to partners, so it’s important to take action for peace of mind.
Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea can cause diseases in the genitals, rectum and throat. It is especially common among young adults. Some men, and most women, experience no symptoms so early detection is essential. This test can detect genital gonorrhea.
HIV (I, II, P24 antigen)
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a blood-borne virus that can be passed on through unprotected anal or vaginal sex and sharing HIV contaminated needles. HIV attacks immune cells and can develop into AIDS in the later stages.
Syphilis
Any person can get syphilis through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If left undiagnosed and untreated, syphilis can eventually cause damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints.
Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is the most common curable STD. Only 30% of people with this disease develop symptoms, so regular testing is important. If left untreated, the disease can last for months or even years.
80% of sexually transmitted diseases are asymptomatic (do not display any symptoms), however, if symptoms do occur, they are likely to present themselves within two weeks of disease.
Symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases may include:
- Painful urination
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Rash on the genitals and/or anus
- Itching or irritation on the genitals and/or anus
- Unusual lumps or bumps around the genitals and/or anus
- Change in color of the male or female discharge
- Abnormal discharge in terms of smell, consistency or volume
- Strong vaginal odor
- Painful erections
STDs can take a period of time to become detectable. This is called the window period. You should wait at least 12 weeks from the time of potential exposure to disease before taking this test.
You should also consider getting tested if:
- You become sexually active
- You have had unprotected sex
- You are experiencing symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease
- You are entering into a new sexual relationship
- You have received a notification from a previous partner that they are infected
