Do you offer HIV testing in Limerick?
At Better2Know’s Limerick sexual health clinic, you can get a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) test along with a wide range of tests for other infections. You will only need to provide a single blood sample to get a reliable test result for HIV. Typically, an HIV antigen and antibody test can detect HIV within a few weeks after sexual contact. The time frame for detection can vary, but early testing is essential for timely HIV diagnosis and treatment.
If you are wondering about how and when to test for HIV, call our Patient Services team at the number at the top of this page. They can answer your questions and guide you through the testing process, ensuring you receive the support and information you need.

How will I get my STI test results?
At Better2Know, we understand the importance of fast and confidential STI testing in Limerick. Your results will be available on your secure patient area. You can log in at any time to check your results. We will send you an SMS or email (if you would like) to let you know when your results are ready.
If you test positive for any infections, we will set up a private consultation with a doctor to ensure you get the appropriate medication and treatment.
Can my STI be cured?
The good news is most STIs can be cured. Sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, and Syphilis, can be easily cured with antibiotics – sometimes with a single dose.
However, some STDs caused by viruses, such as HIV, Herpes, and HPV (the infection that causes Genital Warts), cannot be cured. The symptoms of these infections need to be managed with appropriate treatment and medication.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and reduce the risk of transmission to others. Regular follow-up appointments and adherence to prescribed treatments are essential for managing any sexually transmitted disease effectively.
