The Premium STD Screening offers our most comprehensive sexual health evaluation, created to provide reassurance and accurate diagnosis of symptoms related to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
This thorough screening includes advanced testing protocols aimed at detecting a wide range of STDs, ensuring thorough evaluation and proactive management of your sexual health.
Whether you want to start a new relationship, have been exposed to blood or other bodily fluids, or are experiencing symptoms, our Premium sexual health package is designed to cover a wide spectrum of infections.
This includes common bacterial, viral, and parasitic sexually transmitted infections. Our goal is to thoroughly evaluate, detect, treat, and prevent these infections.
Our Premium STD Screening offers a comprehensive assessment that includes testing for a wide range of common causes of genital and urinary symptoms.
This includes screening for infections such as:
A full STD screening is recommended for all sexually active individuals. Anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, should consider regular STD screening. This includes individuals who have multiple partners.
A routine full STD screening for certain STIs, such as HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhoea, is recommended during pregnancy to protect both the parent and the unborn child from potential complications.
If you have been diagnosed with an STI in the past, regular screening can help monitor your health and detect any recurrence or new infections early, especially if you experience symptoms such as unusual genital discharge, sores, pain during urination, or pain during sexual intercourse.
Individuals who inject drugs are at increased risk for HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and other STIs through needle sharing or risky sexual behaviours. If your sexual partner has been diagnosed with an STI, it is also important for you to get tested.
First and foremost, consult with a healthcare provider. Schedule an appointment with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
Secondly, it is crucial to inform your recent sexual partners so that they can get tested and, if necessary, receive treatment. Thirdly, depending on the STD, treatment may involve medication (such as antibiotics), lifestyle changes, or both. It is of the utmost importance to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully to ensure effective treatment and recovery.
In some cases, your healthcare provider may recommend re-testing after treatment to ensure that the infection has been cured. After treatment, practise safe sex to prevent re-infection or transmission of other STDs.
If the Premium STD screening is not suitable for you, we also provide a range of other sexual health screenings and packages, such as:
Sexually transmitted diseases can be classified into different types based on whether they are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
Bacterial STDs:
Viral STDs:
Parasitic STDs:

When preparing for your test, it is recommended to refrain from urinating for at least 2 hours prior to the test, as this can affect the concentration of certain substances in your urine. Additionally, it is important to inform the doctor about any medications or antibiotics you are currently taking. This information is essential as certain medications can interfere with test results or may need to be temporarily discontinued before the test.
The Premium STD Testing package encompasses a comprehensive range of diagnostic methods tailored to screen for various infections. This includes a combination of blood tests, urine tests, and swabs, specifically selected based on the types of infections being screened for. These tests collectively provide a thorough assessment, and deliver accurate and detailed results, facilitating effective diagnosis and appropriate medical management as needed.
Your blood test results will typically be available within 4 – 6 working hours, while results from other types of tests (such as urine tests and swabs) will be accessible within 2 working days. Upon completion of the testing process, you will be informed promptly of your results, ensuring timely access to critical health information.
