Gonorrhoea testing in Meru

Gonorrhoea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in Meru. Signs of Gonorrhoea are typically mild or non-existent, especially in the first few days after the infection. This means it is easy to ignore symptoms you may have and unknowingly pass the infection on to a partner. An untreated Gonorrhoea infection can seriously damage your health and fertility.

You can get fast and accurate Gonorrhoea tests at Better2Know’s sexual health clinic in Meru. You only need to provide a small self-collected urine sample. Book your appointment by calling our 24/7 helpline or by choosing the clinic closest to you on the map provided on this page.

When should I have an STD test?

Getting tested for STIs when you are sexually active is a great way to protect your health and the health of your current and future sexual partners.

You should get tested if:

• You want to protect your sexual health

• You are sexually active with multiple partners

• You have had unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with a new partner

• You have started a new sexual relationship

• You have symptoms of an STI

• A previous sexual partner informs you that they have an STI

• It has been more than 3 months since your last test

Speak to our Sexual Health Advisors on our Meru helpline for more information about how and when you should be tested.

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

You can get an STI even without penetrative intercourse. While unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex increases transmission risk, many infections can also spread through other intimate contacts.

Viruses like Herpes, Syphilis, and HPV can spread through skin contact, including during foreplay or contact with sores or warts not covered by condoms. HIV, and Hepatitis B and C are transmitted via blood contact, through open wounds, needle sticks, unsterilised equipment, or sharing needles.

If you think you have an infection, getting tested is an important, proactive step. Book your STI test by selecting a clinic from the map of Meru on this page.

Should I get tested if I used a condom?

While condoms are a great way to protect yourself and others against infections, they do not offer guaranteed protection. Condoms can break and expose you to infected bodily fluids. They also do not cover every part of the genitals. Infections like Syphilis, HPV, and Herpes can be passed on by coming into contact with parts of the skin that are not usually covered by a condom.

If you are concerned about a recent sexual encounter, even if you used a condom, it is always better to get tested and give yourself peace of mind. Book an STI screen with Better2Know today by choosing the nearest sexual health clinic to you in Meru on the map provided.
