Sexually transmitted infections or STIs occur due to virus, bacteria or other parasites and are usually passed on from one individual to other through sexual or intimate physical contacts. STIs are commonly transmitted among sexual partners either through vaginal, oral or anal sex, especially when you do not use a condom or some other protection.
If you are already diagnosed with an STI, avoid engaging sexual or intimate contacts with anyone until you are completely healed. This eliminates most of the risk of your infection to pass on to your sexual partner.
Sexually transmitted infections or STIs are common infections that have not yet developed into diseases. On the contrary, sexually transmitted diseases or STDs indicate stages of the infection where it has already turned into a disease. STI is often a more preferred term as most of the individuals with STIs do not necessarily experience the symptoms of diseases.
Some STDs may pose risks if they do not get timely treatment. This may lead to various complications including infertility, extreme pain or even life threatening situations in severe cases. However, early diagnosis and detections of STDs can often help in effective treatment and quick recovery.
Most of the STDs turn out to be asymptomatic in their early stages. For instance, infections of Gonorrhoea or Chlamydia do not usually produce any symptoms at their initial stages.
STD infections occurring in males can easily be identified by abnormal discharge from the penis, a burning sensation while urinating, itching in or around the genital area and swollen testicles along with pain.
Females with STD infection often experience a painful intercourse, pain in the pelvis, abnormal discharge from the vagina or inflammation while passing urine.
Depending on the type of STD you are suffering from, the occurrence of symptoms vary in individuals. While Gonorrhoea symptoms occur within a few days, HIV may take several weeks or even months to manifest its symptoms.
Individuals who are sexually active and engage in unsafe or unprotected sex, or who have multiple sexual partners, are usually more prone to developing STIs. Similarly, sexually active individuals aged 15 to 24, or men who have sex with men, are also at higher risk.
Not all STDs are visible. In fact, most of the STDs do not produce many symptoms during their early stages which make routine sexual health screening more crucial.
Some of the most common symptoms of an STD infection are:
Some effective ways to prevent STDs include:
Among males, Chlamydia is the most commonly occurring STD.
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD for females as well.
The duration of an STD infection varies as per its treatment and recovery. For instance, antibiotic treatment can help cure Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia within some time. On the other hand, Herpes and HIV are basically lifelong conditions that may be managed for a short term but cannot be cured permanently.
Certain STDs may produce serious complications and eventually lead to death if not treated timely. For example, AIDS caused by untreated HIV can turn out to be potential threat to life.
You must go for a sexual health test once you have engaged in unprotected sex or had sex with multiple partners. You must also consult a healthcare specialist if you observe symptoms like pain, unusual discharge or soreness. If you are engaging in a new sexual relationship, make sure to get tested to void possible risks of exposure. Remember that early detection is the key to prompt treatment of your STIs.
Although permanent cure is not available for all kinds of STIs, treatment is available for all STIs to offer short term relief from the symptoms. Certain STIs like Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia or Syphilis are caused by bacteria and can be cured with antibiotics. On the other hand, STIs like genital warts or herpes caused by viruses have temporary treatment to relieve the symptoms.
STI tests are a fairly simple and straightforward process. For example, if you are testing for gonorrhoea or chlamydia, the doctor or nurse will look for the bacteria causing the infection. This may require you to undergo a urine test, or the doctor may collect a sample of fluid from your throat, vagina, penis, or rectum. In some cases, a private GP might also conduct a gonorrhoea culture test to check the bacteria's resistance to antibiotics.
On the contrary, a syphilis test involves looking for antibodies to the bacteria. For this, you may need to undertake a blood sample test.
Your doctor might recommend you get tested if:
Prices of the appointment will vary based on which tests you require, and if you need to see a consultation further with one of our GPs. To find out the cost of your tests, please visit our price page.

Our healthcare team will definitely inform you if you need to specifically prepare anything for a test. Most STI tests do not need preparation, but for men it is recommended to avoid urinating one hour before their appointment.
You may want to consider an STI test if you have recently engaged in unprotected sex, beginning a new relationship, experiencing symptoms of an STI, or if a partner tells you they have an STI. Regular STI testing is vital for sexually active people, even if you face no symptoms, for ensuring your health and wellbeing.
Result time frames vary by specific test, but for most tests you will receive the results within a day or two. We will notify you as soon as they are ready, and you can then choose if you want to consult our GP about it.
If your STI test result shows positive, one of our doctors will contact you to discuss your test results. Our doctors will discuss treatment options with you and guide you on what to do next for your sexual health care.
