STBBIS/STD screening
Screening for the most common sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) is generally performed by taking a blood sample (for HIV and syphilis) and genital secretions and/or urine (for gonorrhea and chlamydia). For some infections, such as herpes and condylomata (genital warts), a diagnosis is also based on a clinical assessment of symptoms or visible lesions.
It is recommended that you be tested for STBBIs after any risky sexual encounter without protection, with inadequate protection (condom tear), or after sharing sex toys, syringes or other injection equipment. In addition, people in stable relationships who want to stop using condoms and women considering pregnancy, can also take advantage of these screening tests.
If you receive a positive screening test result, a member of our team may be assigned to you and ensure your medical follow-up.
