Why Some STI Tests Require a Blood Sample Instead of a Swab or Urine

Understanding why some STI tests require a blood sample instead of alternative methods can help reduce anxiety about testing procedures. Different infections are detected through different testing methods, and blood samples provide the most accurate results for certain conditions. Our clinic provides confidential STI testing services. We do not provide GP services or dermatology consultations, but we can advise on appropriate next steps if further medical care is needed.
