Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection that often goes unnoticed due to its asymptomatic nature. Many individuals may not realise they have contracted Chlamydia, as symptoms can be subtle or entirely absent. However, some may . experience a burning or itching sensation during urination, accompanied by a clear discharge from the genitals. In cases where Chlamydia affects the anal or rectal region, symptoms may include painful bowel movements or a persistent feeling of needing to pass motion again soon after.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek an STD check promptly. Discuss with your doctor on comprehensive Chlamydia testing and treatment services as early detection through STD screening can prevent complications and protect your partners.
Syphilis is a complex sexually transmitted infection that progresses through distinct stages, each with varying symptoms. In the initial stage, which occurs 10 days to 3 months after exposure, a painless ulcer or sore may appear at the site where the bacteria entered the body. This sore can be easily overlooked, especially if it is located in hidden areas such as the vagina or rectum. Although the sore heals on its own, this does not indicate that the infection is cured; rather, it signals the progression to the next stage.
During the secondary stage, typically 2 to 10 weeks after the initial sore, a rash may develop, characterised by small, reddish-brown sores in the mouth, vagina or anus. Additional symptoms can include fever, headaches, muscle aches and swollen glands. Without prompt treatment, these symptoms may subside temporarily but can recur over the course of a year. If left untreated, the infection advances to the latent phase, where symptoms may disappear for 10 to 30 years, yet the bacteria remain dormant in the body.
In the final and most severe stage, syphilis poses great health risks, including organ failure and potentially death. Complications affecting the brain can lead to stroke,while other symptoms such as numbness, deafness, blindness, personality changes, and dementia may occur. Early syphilis testing is crucial for detecting and treating before it reaches these advanced stages.
Gonorrhoea is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection that can manifest through various symptoms. The most common indicators include a greenish or yellowish discharge from the genitalia, accompanied by a b sensation or pain during urination. In some cases, Gonorrhoea may also affect the anal or rectal region, leading to painful bowel movements or a persistent urge to pass motion again shortly after.
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), commonly referred to as herpes, is a contagious virus that can affect various parts of the body, most frequently appearing as sores on the genitals or mouth. The virus spreads through direct contact, such as kissing or sexual intercourse, making it important to be aware of its transmission. There are 2 types of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), each requiring attention and care.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1, commonly known as oral herpes, is responsible for cold sores around the mouth and face. This virus is highly contagious, especially during an outbreak, but can also be transmitted by asymptomatic individuals. Even if you test positive for HSV-1, outbreaks may not always occur.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 is primarily responsible for genital herpes outbreaks. This virus is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person’s sore, and the risk of contracting HSV-2 increases with unprotected sexual contact.

| 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:
