Sexual Health FAQ’s

The time it takes to receive results from sexual health tests can vary depending on the type of test performed. Most routine test results are available within a few days to a week. More complex tests might take slightly longer, up to one to two weeks. Our clinic will inform you about the expected timeline for your specific tests and how you will receive your results.

A typical sexual health check is generally quick and straightforward, usually taking about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the services required. If you need additional testing or a more comprehensive consultation, the visit might take longer.

The frequency of sexual health checks should be based on your sexual activity, lifestyle, and any prevailing health concerns. Generally, it is recommended to have a check annually if you are sexually active. More frequent checks might be necessary if you have multiple partners, engage in unprotected sex, or have had a recent infection.

A sexual health check typically involves a discussion of your sexual history and any current symptoms with a healthcare provider. Based on this discussion, the provider may recommend specific tests. These could include blood tests, urine tests, or swabs for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The check might also include a physical examination of the genital area to look for signs of infection or other issues.

A sexual health screening tests for various sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including but not limited to chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B and C. The specific tests recommended will depend on your sexual history, symptoms, and any particular concerns you or your healthcare provider might have. Additional testing for other conditions like HPV or herpes may be suggested based on your symptoms and risk factors
