STD TESTING clinics?

If you go to a clinic to get an STD test do they just give you the results and send you to a doctor/ gynocologist ?? or do they give you treatment there

Answer:
When going for an STI test they’ll first ask you if you’ve any symptoms, such as itching, pain, sores, bleeding etc, although many STIs don’t actually display any symptoms. They will then ask you to remove your trousers and underwear and lie on your back. They’ll gently insert a metal instrument into the vagina to hold it open slightly and will then use a swab (like a small cotton bud) to take a sample of the discharge inside the vagina. This wont injured but might feel slightly uncomfortable, the more you rest the less you’ll feel it. They’ll then send the swabs off to the laboratory to test for bacteria causing STI's. They may ask you to phone them to find out the results or they may contact you- you will need to ask them about this. The results can take anything from 3 days to 2 weeks to come back, depending on the clinic you go to. Usually if you’ve an STI you can just go back to the same clinic and they will be able to provide you with the treatment.

Remember most STIs can be easily treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated can cause serious problems such as infertility so please don’t delay getting tested.

good luck x
