Why get an STI test in Sydney?

Sydney is a vibrant and diverse city with a bustling social scene. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or have multiple partners, regular STD testing in Sydney is a crucial part of maintaining your sexual health. 

Here are some of the key reasons why you should consider getting an STI check in Sydney:

  • Protect Your Health and Wellbeing: Many STIs don’t show symptoms, meaning you could carry an infection without knowing it. By getting regular tests, you can ensure that any infections are caught early, allowing for fast treatment and reducing the risk of long-term health problems.
  • Prevent the Spread of STIs: Regular testing protects you and helps prevent the spread of STIs to others. This is especially important if you have multiple partners or are starting a new relationship. Getting tested and sharing your results with your partner helps promote trust and protect both of you.
  • Convenient Testing Options: Sydney has many sexual health clinics and accredited pathology centres, making it easy to find a location nearby. With Stigma Health, you only need to visit the pathology centre once—no multiple trips to the doctor are required.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing your sexual health status gives you peace of mind. It can alleviate any stress or anxiety you might have about potential infections and helps you take control of your health. Regular testing helps you feel confident and reassured, whether you’re in a relationship or single.

In a city as dynamic as Sydney, taking care of your sexual health should be a priority. Getting an STI check in Sydney with Stigma Health is fast, simple, and discreet—helping you stay on top of your health without interrupting your busy lifestyle.

Got questions?

Who is Stigma Health? 

Stigma Health is an online sexual health service that makes STI testing accessible and stress-free by breaking down barriers like embarrassment and inconvenience. We launched STI testing due to the impact of these infections in Australia—many STIs are simple to detect and treat. But we’re just getting started, so stay tuned for more services on the way!

Can I get an STI test through Stigma Health? 

Yes! If you’re 16 or older and live in Australia, you can use our service to access a private and convenient STI test. For those under 16, we recommend visiting a doctor or heading to an STI clinic. Additional support resources, including sexual health info lines, are listed in our Resources section.

Why should I get tested with Stigma Health instead of going to my GP? 

Convenience is everything. With Stigma Health, you can skip the back-and-forth of multiple GP appointments. Simply receive your online referral, visit a pathology centre, and get your results straight to your phone—no awkward conversations are required.

Is Stigma Health legal? 

Yes, Stigma Health fully complies with Australian law and the Medical Board of Australia’s guidelines for technology-based consultations. Our process is secure, meets all legal standards, and is designed to protect your privacy.

What are the most common STIs I need to look out for? 

Chlamydia is the most common STI in Australia, particularly among people aged 15 to 29. Since it often has no symptoms, regular testing is essential. Other STIs to be aware of include:

How often should I get tested for STIs?

It’s recommended to get STI tests each time you change sexual partners or at least three times a year, no matter your relationship status. If you have multiple partners or engage in unprotected sex, testing every 3-6 months is also a good precaution.

Do I need STI checks if I’m in a monogamous relationship? 

If you and your partner are in a long-term, monogamous relationship and both have tested negative for STIs, the need for regular testing may be lower—but we still recommend regular testing! If either of you has had other sexual partners before entering the relationship, or if there’s any uncertainty about past STI status, it’s a good idea to get tested to ensure both partners are starting from a clean slate.

What happens if my test results are positive?

If you test positive, Stigma Health can provide information on what steps to take next. Many STIs are treatable with medication, and we advise you to contact a doctor or local sexual health clinic to discuss treatment options.

What should I do if I’ve been exposed to an STI?

If you believe you’ve been exposed to an STI, get tested as soon as possible. Some infections can take a few weeks to appear in tests, so consider retesting if your initial results are negative.

Do I need to inform my sexual partners if I test positive?

Yes, it’s important to inform any recent sexual partners so they can get tested and treated if necessary. Many services offer anonymous partner notification options to help with this process.

Do you offer HIV testing services? 

Yes, we offer HIV testing as part of our comprehensive range of STI testing services. You can include an HIV test when you complete the online questionnaire to receive your referral. Regular HIV testing is important for early detection and management.

Go get tested—just to be sure.
