Chlamydia Testing in Stanthorpe

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Stanthorpe.  It is easily passed on from one partner to another during sex.  If left untreated it can cause long term health problems and may lead to infertility and other health issues.

You can catch Chlamydia in your genital area, throat (if you gave oral sex) or your rectum (if you received anal sex).  You will need to test each area that might have Chlamydia.

A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Stanthorpe in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.

Chlamydia often does not have any symptoms. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested in your nearest clinic in Stanthorpe.

Gonorrhoea Testing in Stanthorpe

Stanthorpe 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.

What is the difference between and STD and an STI?

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are ultimately the same thing. The term STI has become more commonly used, as the word infection is not as daunting as the word disease. By using the word infection in place of the word disease, people are encouraged to get tested more regularly and to not be afraid of the result.

If you develop symptoms such as itching, soreness when urinating or blisters on the genital area, these are good indicators that you have an STI. Ignoring these symptoms can increase your chances of further serious health complications.

That is why regular testing in Stanthorpe is imperative especially after a new sexual encounter. Better2Know’s wide range of sexual health testing in Stanthorpe w
