About​

  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections passed from one person to another through unprotected sex or genital contact.

  • Common STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea are easily treated with antibiotics.

  • Regular STI testing is important as people may have a STI without any symptoms.

  • Condoms can protect you and your partner from most STIs.

  • You can find out more about STIs here.

​

Warning

If you believe you may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, you should urgently see a doctor or sexual health clinic to consider post exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

​

You could have a STl check for the following reasons:

  • You have had unprotected sex (i.e. without a condom or if the condom wasn't used properly or it broke)

  • You have a new sexual partner

  • You have more than one sexual partner

  • You're worried you've been exposed to a STI

  • You want a routine sexual health check

​

Please use our telehealth service or see your doctor or sexual health clinic for testing for the following:  

  • You have symptoms of a STI

  • You have been told by a sexual partner they are positive for a STI (you may get treated while awaiting your results)

  • You are taking PREP or PEP

​

Self-testing 

When you visit your lab testing centre they will give you instructions on how to do your own urine and/or swab tests in the toilet. For urine tests, do not pass urine at least one hour prior to your test.
