Got questions?
How often should I get an STI test in Toowoomba?
We recommend testing at least once a year, and every time you change partners. If you’re sexually active, testing is simply part of safer sex.
Do I need an STI test if I don’t have multiple partners?
Yes — absolutely. Many STIs show no symptoms and can be carried from past partners without you knowing. A quick STI check in Toowoomba keeps you healthy and protects your partner too.
Do you offer HIV testing?
Yes. HIV testing is included in your pathology referral. You’ll be using the same high-quality tests used across Queensland’s health system.
Can I talk to someone at Stigma Health?
Of course. If you need support, have symptoms, or want help understanding your results, our team is here for you. You can talk confidentially with real health professionals who actually care.
Are these tests accurate?
Yes. Your sample is processed by the same laboratories used by Queensland GPs and hospitals. It’s reliable, fast, and highly accurate.
Do I need an appointment at the pathology clinic?
Nope. Just take your printed referral and walk in.
What’s involved in treating sexually transmitted infections?
Treatment depends on the type of STI, but it’s usually simpler than people expect. Many common STIs — like chlamydia and gonorrhoea — are treated with antibiotics. Others may need antiviral medication or a chat with a clinician about ongoing management.
Once your results are in, one of our clinicians will guide you on the next steps, explain your options, and support you until everything’s sorted. No judgement, no awkwardness — just straightforward care.
