All STD tests are available individually or as a bolt on to an STD Screen.
Please do not urinate for three hours before your appointment. This is because some of these tests will need a urine sample.
Please note that results time are from when the sample is received in the laboratory, and may be shorter or longer depending on your testing location, tests taken and time of testing.
In order to test accurately for all STDs, STIs and HIV, you need to leave a minimum window or incubation period in between any incident that you are concerned about, and the time of the test. If you test too soon, there is a possibility that the STD, STI or HIV may not show up on the test and you may test negative when you are not. It is important that you are honest with yourself and us about your incubation period. There is no maximum period, and you do not have to be tested on an exact date once you have reached the minimum time. Most people do not have any symptoms if they have an STI or STD so it is important to test regularly.
