STD Tests

After a risky encounter, the earlier you know if you are infected with an STI, the better chance you will have at treating it.

STI’s sometimes do not cause any symptoms. Τ

While home testing is convenient, visit a GP or sexual health clinic if you: Have severe symptoms, experience pain or swelling, test positive and need treatment, or are unsure which test is appropriate. Regular screening is an important part of responsible sexual health.

STD Tests FAQs

How do you use an STI test kit?

Each kit includes step-by-step instructions. Typically, you:

  1. Collect the required sample.

  2. Secure it in the provided packaging.

  3. Post it to the laboratory using the prepaid envelope.

  4. Receive results confidentially within the stated timeframe.

Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

How long does an STI test take?

Sample collection usually takes only a few minutes. Laboratory processing times vary, but results are often available within a few days after the sample reaches the lab.

Would an STD show up in a routine blood test?

No. Routine blood tests do not automatically screen for STIs. Specific STI testing must be requested.

Do they test for STDs when donating blood?

Donated blood is screened for certain infections (such as HIV and hepatitis), but blood donation should not replace dedicated STI testing. If you are concerned, arrange a proper STI test.
