How are sexually transmitted diseases tested?

Most STDs can be detected using blood or urine samples, some STIs have a swab test option.  Better2Know offers various testing methods, including antibody, antigen, and PCR testing, to detect a wide range of infections. These tests are conducted on samples collected by a healthcare professional during your appointment at one of our clinics.

If you have any questions about the testing process, please call the number at the top of this page to speak with a member of our Patient Services team. Our Tralee helpline is available 24/7 to assist you.

How do you know if you have a sexually transmitted disease?

Determining whether you have an STI can be challenging.  Some individuals with an STI may experience symptoms such as unusual genital discharge, itching around the genitals or rectum, sores, warts, fever, and lower abdominal pain.

However, most sexually active individuals who contract an STI will not exhibit any symptoms. Therefore, STI testing should be based on potential exposure rather than the presence of symptoms.

Suppose you are unsure which infections to test for. In that case, we recommend the Full Screen, which tests for Tralee’s seven most common and important infections:

• HIV
• Syphilis
• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhoea
• Mycoplasma
• Ureaplasma
• Hepatitis B.

Select an STI clinic from the map above to book your Full Screen at a Tralee clinic.

Where can I get a Gonorrhoea test in Tralee?

At Better2Know’s Tralee sexual health clinic, you can get a Gonorrhoea test using a highly accurate PCR test on a urine sample. This test quickly detects the presence of Gonorrhoea bacteria, which is crucial for early detection and treatment. Early treatment of Gonorrhoea will help prevent complications such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and infertility. Our clinics offer confidential and discreet testing services to ensure your privacy is protected.

If you test positive for Gonorrhoea, prompt treatment is necessary. Gonorrhoea treatments often involve antibiotics, and it is important to follow the prescribed course.  As some strains of Gonorrhoea are more resistant to antibiotics than others, it is important to do a further Gonorrhoea test two weeks after you have finished your medication.

Book your Gonorrhoea test today by finding the clinic nearest you on the map above, or call the number at the top of this page to find out more about your STD testing options. Our clinics provide comprehensive care, including information on how to treat Gonorrhoea and how to prevent Gonorrhoea from spreading.

How will I get my STI test results?

At Better2Know, we recognise the importance of receiving prompt test results to make informed decisions about your sexual health.  Once your test samples are collected at your chosen Tralee clinic, they will be sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis. You will receive your results within a few days after the lab receives your sample. You can access your results in your secure online Patient Area. You also have the option of receiving notification of your test results via text message or email.

If you test positive for any infections, we will arrange a private consultation with a doctor to ensure you receive the appropriate medication and treatment.
