Full STI Screen Test

Why is it important to take a Full STI Screen test?

If you have had unprotected sex, it is very important to take an STI test so you can be sure that you have not been infected. The biggest benefit of the Full STI Screen test is that you will be tested for eight different STDs, many of which are asymptomatic. STIs that do not show any symptoms are particularly problematic because, without a full STI test, you will not be aware that you have the infection. This means it will remain untreated.

Untreated STIs can lead to serious health complications for both men and women, including long-term infertility. Most STDs are easily treatable with a course of antibiotics, so taking a test sooner rather than later is recommended in order for you to begin the course of treatment as soon as possible.

What STIs does the Full (STD) STI Screen test for?

• Chlamydia
• Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
• Genital herpes
• Gonorrhoea
• Mycoplasma genitalium
• Non-specific urethritis
• Trichomonas vaginalis
• Ureaplasma urealyticum

When should I take a Full Screen test?

A Full STI Screen test allows you to test for the eight most common STIs all at once. It's the most comprehensive way to discover whether you have an infection and to prevent it from being passed on to a sexual partner. Another benefit of this test is that some infections, such as non-specific urethritis, are passed on with others, like chlamydia, and won't show up on a specific chlamydia test.

You should wait for at least two weeks after unprotected sex before taking a Full STI test, as some sexually transmitted infections cannot be detected until two weeks after you are infected. You should also consider taking a test if you've been treated for an infection and want to be sure that it has cleared.
