Here are five reasons to get an STI Test in the Middle East.
- The only way to know if you have an STI is to get tested. Most STIs do not have any symptoms.
- STIs do not go away on their own. If you do have an STI, you need to get treatment.
- Even if you have used condoms, they do not prevent STIs spreading from skin to skin contact in the genital area (Syphilis, Herpes, Genital Warts)
- Oral sex can transmit STIs (Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea)
- It is easier than you think. You can book your confidential appointment online.
