Below provides key information about taking an STD test with DMT Labs.
What is an STI?
A sexually transmitted infection or STI (also known as a sexually transmitted disease/ STD) is an infection that is spread from an infected person to another through sexual contact or sexual intercourse (vaginal, oral, or anal sex). These include Chlamydia, Genital herpes, Gonorrhoea, HIV, HPV, Syphilis, Pubic lice etc. Some STIs can also be transmitted from mother-to-child during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. STIs do not discriminate or respect boundaries; they can affect anyone who is sexually active regardless of age, nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and economic status.
Getting tested for STIs is important as it allows you to take control of your sexual health, enables early treatment in the case of a positive STI result and prevents the spreading of STIs in the community.
You should consider having this if one of the following applies to you:
- You recently had a risky sexual incident which you are worried about.
- You have symptoms which could be an STI.
- You are about to start a new relationship and want to know your sexual health status.
- You would like to get pregnant.
- You care about your sexual and reproductive health.
- You want overall peace of mind.
There are no “special” preparations that are required before a test, however, we recommend that females do not douche or use vaginal creams within 24 hours of taking a test. Our certified nurse will walk you through the process and answer any questions you might have during the process.
To make the process more comfortable for yourself, you can read through our FAQs. If you need more information, send us an email at (info@deepmedicaltherapeutics.com) or phone (+27 68 374 9541).
Our services are quick, discreet and confidential.
A certified nurse can take a urine sample, throat swab, and/or rectal swab to test for gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Blood can be drawn to test for syphilis or HIV. HIV tests may also be done with a simple finger-stick test or a mouth swab. In females a vaginal/cervical swab is taken for the HPV test. A certified nurse will walk you through the process. It’s quick, easy and can be done by our nurse in the privacy of your own home or at our testing sites in JHB or CPT.
Your sample will be sent to the lab for processing. You will receive a virtual consultation with one of our healthcare practitioners who will share your results, discuss any questions you may have, and prescribe any medication for treatment if you require. We will also provide you with your lab results for your records via email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below outlines some of the key questions asked by people around STD’s
There are no reliable symptoms of an STI and over 66% of people have no STI symptoms at all, as a result, a person can have an STI without knowing. However, if you have noticed any of the following symptoms, you should order a test for peace of mind:
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Penile discharge
- Genital lumps
- Pain on passing urine/other urinary symptoms
- Genital sores or ulcers
- Blisters or sores in or around the mouth
- Pelvic pain, pain during sex
- Itching in the pubic/genital area
- Fever
If in doubt, get tested!
- If you are sexually active, you should be tested at least once a year, even if you are in a monogamous relationship.
- If you have multiple partners, you should get tested before having sex with a new partner.
- If you don’t get tested before having sex, the next best time is 10 days after having sex with a new partner. After exposure, it can take up to 10 days for an infection to show up in an STI test or longer for some STIs.
- If you have symptoms, you should order a test as soon as possible. The only way to know for sure if you have an STI is through testing.
- A lot of people like to get a check-up before they start a new relationship.
- If you regularly have casual sex, it is a good idea to have regular check-ups.
Yes, you should get tested for an STI at least once a year. Many STIs do not have immediate symptoms and can remain dormant. For many people, it may take weeks, months, or even years to start experiencing symptoms of an STI.
The first step is to not panic! The second step is to contact our team to get in touch with a health care provider who can offer you and your partner the best advice and guidelines on how you all should progress with taking care of your sexual and reproductive health. You can contact us via email (info@deepmedicaltherapeutics.com) or phone (+27 68 374 9541).
DMT partners with local pathological testing labs. They are responsible for processing the samples and transmitting those results back to DMT. Our healthcare practitioner will contact you to communicate your results and treatment prescription if required. All labs are accredited with the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS).
No, you don’t need to be referred to our service by your GP as you can ‘self-refer’. You do not need a letter from your family doctor to order one of our tests. DMT also offers virtual doctors and nurse consultations to guide you through the process and communicate your results and treatment prescription if required.
After the samples have arrived at the lab, the DMT team will reach out within 7 business days to discuss the results and help determine the next steps if needed.
We recommend getting the Comprehensive STD test completed annually and using the Standard STD test in between annual tests. We advise people to get tested every 6 to 12 months, or more often if they have an increased risk for STIs such as having new sexual partners. For women between the ages of 25-65, we recommend that they take the HPV test at least once in 5 years.
Yes. Providing our patients with the privacy they need is important to us. When you take a test with our STD Testing services you will receive a professional and discreet service. Your results are always confidential, and 100% guaranteed.
Thousands of people test positive for STIs and STDs every day, and the good news is that now you know your status, you can get the medical treatment that you need to prevent/minimise any long-term health complications.
You have a choice of what to do next: we can arrange a consultation for you, or you can take your results to your own Doctor, who can also prescribe treatment. It is important to get treated, even if you have no symptoms, as you can still pass the STI on to your partner. You may cause long-term health risks if you do not get treated. In order to best protect your health and treat the STI, it is important to speak to a doctor, to be prescribed the right drug for you.
