Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), can spread through sexual contact involving blood, semen, vaginal fluid or direct skin-to-skin contact. Some infections may cause symptoms such as discharge, sores, painful urination or unusual bleeding, while others may develop silently without obvious signs.
Our clinic provides private STD testing and screening for both men and women in Singapore. Depending on your symptoms, exposure risk and testing window period, our doctor may recommend blood tests, urine tests or swab tests.
The appropriate STD test depends on factors such as your symptoms, the type of sexual exposure, and your individual circumstances.
Different infections may require different types of tests, such as blood, urine, or swab tests. Our doctor will assess your situation during the consultation and recommend the appropriate tests based on your needs.
At DB Clinic, we provide different STD screening packages depending on your symptoms and exposure risk. Here’s all you need to know.

| Test name | Test Description |
|---|---|
| HIV PCR RNA | PCR RNA is an extremely effective test to detect HIV viral copies of HIV infections in its earliest stage before the body can produce antibodies. Detecting an HIV infection in its earliest stage can deliver accurate results from 10 to 12 days afer exposure. The PCR RNA test can also effectively measure HIV viral load counts for patients living with HIV and for patients who are receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) treatment. |
| HIV P24 Antigen & Antibody Combo Test (results in | The 4th Generation HIVp24 Antigen/Antibody Combo Test is versatile and can detect both HIV antibodies and HIV antigens (p24). The core of an HIV viral is composed of the HIV p24 antigen, a protein which becomes detectable between 12 to 20 days afer exposure — peaking at around 3 to 4 weeks and dropping to lower levels afer 5 to 6 weeks once the HIV antibodies start developing. Although the p24 antigen may be detectable by the 1 to 4-day exposure mark, some people will not manifest detectable levels until much later (i.e. up to 28 days afer exposure) . To receive the most accurate results, we recommend patients come in for this particular HIV screening test only afer the 28-day window. It is important to note that once your body starts producing HIV antibodies, p24 antigen levels will decrease and become undetectable (seroconversion). Only a small number of people will experience a delayed seroconversion. This is when the p24 antigen levels do not decrease because the associated antibodies are not being produced. However, this 4th Generation Combo test is effective at screening both the p24 antigen and HIV antibodies from the 28-day post-exposure period and beyond. |
| HIV Antibody-only Test (results in 20 minutes) | This is a 3rd Generation HIV test that only detects HIV antibodies in the blood. HIV antibodies are detectable between 14 to 20 days post-exposure to HIV. However, this might not be the case for everyone and it may take longer to occur in some individuals compared to others. Based on available statistics, over 99.9% of people who are infected with the HIV virus will have detectable antibodies at the 90-day post-exposure mark. For the few who experience delayed seroconversion (does not produce detectable antibodies), we will administer the 4th Generation HIV P24 Antigen & Antibody Combo test in order to detect the virus. |
| Pro-Viral DNA HIV Blood Test | For an accurate HIV diagnosis, we recommend the Pro-Viral DNA HIV Blood test compared to other well-known HIV tests (such as HIV RNA PCR test, HIV Antibody & - Antigen test and HIV Antibody-only test) which may deliver inconclusive results. The Pro-Viral DNA HIV blood test has its advantages, such as:
