STI and HIV Testing in Perth

The combined total of Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, and Chlamydia infections in Western Australia has risen steadily in recent years to almost 15,500 across the state. You can test for these three STIs just 14 days after any incident that you are concerned about with our Peace of Mind Screen.

Perth is one of the areas worst affected. If you have had a new sexual partner since your last STI test, it is important to get tested. The only way to know if you have an STI is to get tested. Most people with an STI do not have any symptoms. Especially in the first few weeks and months following an infection. To look after your sexual health, and that of any current or future partners it is important to have a sexual health screen. Infections can be tested for individually or combined with others as part of a more conclusive STI screen.

What happens at my STI test in Perth?

At your confidential STD Test appointment in Perth, your samples will be collected swiftly and discreetly by an experienced clinician, or phlebotomist (someone who has been medically trained to take a blood sample). Once your blood, swab, and/ or urine sample has been collected, it will be sent to our certified Australian laboratory for testing and analysis.

You will receive your results within five working days of your sample’s arrival at our central laboratory, depending on the test or screen you select. Most test results will be available in just a couple of days. Results are reported online to your secure patient login area of our website, so you can check them whenever you want.

What is the difference between an STI and an STD?

Most people think that an infection is something easy to get and easy to treat. This refers to most of the sexually transmitted infections that we test for. An STI is a Sexually Transmitted Infection, and STD is a Sexually Transmitted Disease. The two terms mean the same thing, STI is the newer acronym as people prefer to have an infection than a disease.
