Confidential Sexual Health Testing in Coffs Harbour
Better2Know provides confidential STI testing services in the coastal city of Coffs Harbour. At private sample collection centres across the city, we offer a variety of tests and screens to detect a wide range of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
What is the difference between an STD and an STI?
An STD is a Sexually Transmitted Disease, and STI is a Sexually Transmitted Infection. STI is the newer term as doctors feel that infection is a better term to describe the sexually transmitted bugs.
At your appointment in Coffs Harbour, you will be seen by one of our discreet, experienced phlebotomists. They will collect your blood, swab and/or urine samples before sending them to our fully certified, central laboratory for analysis. As soon as your results become available, we will post them to your secure patient area, so you can access them easily online. A member of our dedicated sexual health advisory team will also contact you when all your results are ready. Should you test positive, we can help you access the treatment or referrals you may need. At Better2Know, we are with you every step of the way. Please see the map below to locate our private facilities in Coffs Harbour.
