What can I expect during my STI test appointment in Nyeri?

When you attend your chosen clinic in Nyeri a clinician will take you to a consultation room for sample collection, which typically includes a blood sample and/ or a urine sample. Urine samples are self-collected using the provided containers. This process usually takes ten to fifteen minutes.

After your samples are sent to our accredited laboratory, analysis will take a few business days. Your results will be uploaded to your secure Patient Area. We will also contact you via your preferred method of communication, whether by text message or email.

If you have questions about the testing process, our Nyeri helpline is open 24 hours a day. Do not hesitate to call if you need help getting tested.

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

While STIs spread most easily through sexual intercourse, you can still get an STI if you do not have sex.  Certain infections, like Herpes and Syphilis can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as coming into contact with a sore, wart, or chancre. Transmission can happen during foreplay.

Other STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, can be spread through needle stick injuries, using unsterilised tattooing equipment, or sharing needles during intravenous drug use.

If you think you may have an STI, whether you had sex or not, you can get tested with Better2Know.

Herpes testing in Nyeri

Herpes is a common and highly contagious infection in Nyeri.  It is caused by two related viruses: HSV 1 and HSV 2.  The symptoms of Herpes can vary. HSV 1, known as Oral Herpes, causes cold sores, typically around the lips or mouth. HSV 2, known as Genital Herpes, causes sores as well, usually around the genitals or rectum.

Both are transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. HSV 1 most commonly spreads through kissing, and HSV 2 most commonly spreads through sexual intercourse and foreplay.  While Herpes cannot be fully cured, the treatment for Genital Herpes usually involves antiviral medications to reduce the severity of outbreaks.
