That way you can go into it prepared, confident and most importantly, at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When Should You Have An STI Check?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many reasons why and when an STI check is a good idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; You may be worried you have an STI \u2013 you may have found out that a current or previous sexual partner has an STI, or you may be experiencing symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; You may be visiting the doctor for another health issue \u2013&nbsp; a cervical screening test, for example \u2013 and your doctor suggests an STI check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; You may have a new partner and before having sex you both get tested to make sure you\u2019re free from STIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; You may get checked before or during a pregnancy \u2013 STIs can impact the health of both mother and baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; You may have regular STI checks as part of your healthcare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re sexually active and not sure about when or how often you should have STI checks, talk to your doctor. Everyone\u2019s situation is different and it\u2019s important to get the checks that are right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Process: Step By Step<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re getting an STI check, your doctor will start by asking you some questions about your general health and sexual history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these questions can be quite personal, so it\u2019s good to know ahead of time what you <em>may<\/em> be asked. It\u2019s important to answer as honestly as possible; if you feel unsure or uncomfortable at any time, communicate this to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind, your doctor isn\u2019t asking these questions to be nosy or to judge \u2013 these questions are part of every STI check. The doctor is working out your risk for different STIs and which tests might be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Have you had an STI check in the past? When was your last check?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; In the past six months, how many people have you had sex with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Do you have sex with men? Do you have sex with women? Do you have sex with transgender people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Do you have vaginal sex? Do you have oral sex? Do you have anal sex?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Do you use contraception? How often do you use condoms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Do you have any symptoms? (Many STIs are silent \u2013 they don\u2019t cause symptoms \u2013 but some women can experience painful sex, painful urination, a difference in vaginal discharge or bleeding.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; When was your last period? Was it a normal period?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Do you inject drugs? Have you injected drugs in the past?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Do you have any tattoos or body piercings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Low-Down On Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After these questions and any further discussion, it\u2019s time to collect the samples for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going for an STI check doesn\u2019t mean you will be tested for all STIs. Your doctor will advise which tests are recommended for you and how the samples will be collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An STI check usually involves giving a urine sample or having a vaginal examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have had unprotected oral or anal sex, a throat swab or anal swab may be required. Sometimes you can collect the sample yourself \u2013 your doctor will advise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To test for some STIs such as hepatitis, syphilis and HIV, a sample of blood is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Happens Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It usually takes between one and two weeks for your test results to come back, and the communication of those test results can vary.&nbsp; Sometimes you may need to make another appointment, other times you can receive your results over the phone or via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you test positive for an STI, you\u2019ll need to return to your doctor to discuss treatment. If you have chlamydia or gonorrhoea \u2013 two of the most common STIs \u2013 treatment is as simple as an antibiotic prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your sexual partners will also need to be tested and treated if needed. Otherwise, you could keep reinfecting each other or infecting others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding out you have an STI can be distressing. However, <em>not knowing<\/em> and possibly infecting other people \u2013 as well as putting your long-term health at risk \u2013 can cause even more distress. Your doctor will help to guide you through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still feeling embarrassed or unsure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some more quick tips that might make getting an STI check easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Make an appointment with your doctor about something else and then bring it up in the opening conversation. For example, you could say, \u2018I came to see you because my leg is sore (or I need a new prescription), but I also may need an STI check\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Remember, STI checks are a normal part of health care \u2013 doctors do them all the time. Your medical records and results are private and kept confidential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 &nbsp; Consider going to a women\u2019s health clinic or sexual health centre instead of your regular doctor. These centres specialise in sexual healthcare and may help you feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out more about STIs, head <a href=\"https:\/\/jeanhailes.org.au\/health-a-z\/sex-sexual-health\/safer-sex-stis\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>This article has been published with the permission of Jean Hailes for Women\u2019s Health.
