Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), previously known as Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), are infections primarily spread through unprotected sexual activity – whether vaginal, anal, or oral. They are caused by various bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, and can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation.
STIs represent a significant global public health concern. Many infections may remain asymptomatic for long periods, which increases the risk of unintentional transmission and long-term complications such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and a higher risk of contracting HIV.
Benefits of the tests
There are several important reasons why someone might consider getting tested for STIs, such as:
- Experiencing symptoms like unusual discharge, itching, burning, irritation, or increased urgency to urinate.
- Having had unprotected sex, whether recently or in the past.
- Being in a relationship where you or your partner have multiple sexual partners.
- Using recreational drugs before or during sexual activity, either yourself or your partner(s).
- Starting a new relationship and wanting to ensure both partners are in good sexual health before becoming intimate.
2 tests options
The 4-Panel is priced at £69 and tests for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhoea), Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomonas vaginalis
- The 7-Panel is priced at €89 and tests for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhoea), Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum and Mycoplasma hominis
It’s important to understand that all seven of these pathogens – including the urinary tract infections Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum – can affect both men and women.
These infections can often present with few or no symptoms, making regular testing essential for early detection and effective treatment
