When will I get my test results?
After your samples are collected at your chosen clinic, they will be sent to our certified laboratory for analysis. Most test results are available within one to five working days of our lab receiving your sample.

What happens if I leave my STI untreated?
Leaving an STI untreated can lead to serious health complications.
Untreated STIs can cause chronic pain, infertility, and damage to major organs such as the heart, liver, and brain. For example, untreated Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause permanent damage to the reproductive system. Syphilis, if left untreated, can progress to affect the nervous system and other organs.
Getting tested and treated promptly is crucial to avoid these severe health outcomes.

Living a life that promotes health and wellness allows your body to be ready for any unpredictable illnesses or diseases it may need to fight.
