Which STIs are tested for?
Our Blemish Screen can detect:

These are the most common STIs which cause blemishes in the genital area.
You can add on any other STI tests to this screen at our reduced bolt-on price. These may require additional samples.
Which samples are needed?
For this screen, we will take two swabs of the suspected area. The swabs will be analysed to determine whether your current symptoms are caused by one of the STIs we test for.
