Can I be tested without symptoms?
Yes. Some infections cause few or no symptoms; timing and any symptoms guide which urine or blood tests are appropriate.
UROLOGY
Sexually transmitted infections
Discharge, discomfort or exposure concerns
The clinic discusses chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. Some infections cause few or no symptoms: chlamydia incubates about one to three weeks, while gonorrhoea brings stronger pain and discharge after about two to seven days, with about 30% involving chlamydia co-infection.
How it works
Timing and symptoms guide urine or blood testing. A repeat test may be needed depending on the interval from exposure.
Visits & recovery
Use cause-specific treatment and follow-up. Ask whether partners need testing or treatment. The official guidance advises avoiding sexual activity for seven days after starting treatment and retesting after two weeks.
Risks & considerations
Symptom resolution alone does not prove cure. Confirm sexual-contact advice, test coverage and costs.
Fees at a glance
Costs depend on symptoms, tests, treatment and insurance eligibility. Confirm coverage, self-pay services such as ED care, and testing-only charges. Bring insurance eligibility documents, medication records and screening results.
Common questions
When can sexual activity resume?
The official guidance advises avoiding sexual activity for seven days after starting treatment and retesting after two weeks; also ask whether partners need testing.
