Take the guess work out of your sexual health, stay safe and get tested with updoc.
With updoc's Online STD/STI Tests, all you need to do is complete an online form and sit back. Your Partner Practitioner will review your request and give you a call. If suitable, you'll get your STD pathology request sent straight to your phone.
From there, you can get tested at any pathology clinic at your convenience. A test can involve a combination of a urine test, swabs, and blood tests.
You'll receive a phone call from your Partner Practitioner with the results, and organise a follow-up consultation if needed.
How often and when you get an STD test will be largely dependent on your lifestyle. However, it is recommended to get an STD test every 6-12 months. You may also consider an STI test:
With Updoc you can request an STD test from wherever you are in Australia, and get tested whenever suits you.
Chlamydia & gonorrhea are two of the most common STDs. Once diagnosed, both can be treated with a course of antibiotics prescribed by a Partner Practitioner.
Hepatitis B & Hepatitis C are both infections of the liver. However, only Hepatitis B is considered an STD due to it's mode of transmission. Both can be detected through a blood test.
HIV is a virus affecting the immune system. Left untreated, the body will develop severe immune deficiency - this late stage of the infection is called AIDS.
It is crucial to get tested annually for syphilis as some people can exhibit no symptoms. If syphilis is left untreated it can lead to serious health problems.
