Which STIs are tested for?

Our Blemish Screen can detect:

  • Syphilis
  • Herpes I/II (Current Infection)
  • Genital Warts / HPV

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.

How do I get my results?

You can choose to receive your results by phone, email or SMS, or you can call us at a time that suits you. Please let our booking team know your preferred method when you make your appointment. Your results will also be available in your secure online Patient Area, to view whenever you choose.

What if I test positive?

We are here to help you with the next steps of your treatment. Syphilis is curable and your doctor will help you to find the right antibiotic for you.
