What is Sexually Transmitted Disease Screening?

STD screening is personalised based on your sexual exposure (i.e. type of sexual contact, oral, vaginal etc) and duration from the time of exposure.
Our doctors will be able to advice screening tests based on your concerns and exposures.

How can I prevent STDs?

STD transmission can be greatly reduced by safe sex methods such as using barrier protection methods (condoms). Routine STD screening helps reduce transmissions between partners.

Some people chose to do sexual health screening before starting a new relationship, after ending a relationship or just for periodically for peace of mind.
