How our home testing works
Chlamydia: Chlamydia is a very common STI caused by a specific strain of bacteria known as Chlamydia trachomatis.
HIV (I, II): HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system.
Hepatitis B/C: Hepatitis B and C are infections of the liver caused by a virus that is spread through blood and body fluids.
Gonorrhoea: Gonorrhoea is an STI caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae or gonococcus.
Syphilis: Syphilis is a chronic bacterial infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact.
Test Proactively
STIs don't discriminate, so independent of your ethnicity, sexuality or sexual behaviour, we encourage you to get tested proactively to understand your sexual health status.
Timeline
If you develop symptoms of STIs you should test as soon as you can. If you know you have been in contact with someone with an STI you may be able to access treatment (at the same time as testing) so speak to one of our healthcare professionals.
STIs can often take a while to show up in tests, so if you test too early, you may receive a false negative result.
For chlamydia and gonorrhoea, this can be up to 2 weeks from your last sexual activity (or from when you think you may have been exposed to an infection).
For syphilis and Hepatitis B, it's up to 12 weeks following your last sexual activity before these infections can be detected or ruled out.
For HIV it's 45 days.
Change in circumstances
You should consider taking an STI test for any of these reasons:
- New sexual partner
- More than one current partner
- Your regular partner has other partner(s)
- Having condomless penetrative sex
- Experiencing STI symptoms
- You are a contact of an STI, eg. a recent partner reports they have been infected
Test timings
You should not engage in sexual activity if you know/suspect you have been in contact with someone with an STI or if you have STI symptoms. Just be patient and we’ll get your results back to you within 2 to 5 working days.
Treatment
Sexually transmitted infections are common and most of them are easy to treat. If you test positive for an STI, don’t panic, we’ll provide you with all of the information you need to know about the next steps and treatment.
Antibiotics
Most sexually transmitted infections can be cured with antibiotics. If you test positive for an STI our pharmacy partner can provide antibiotics if necessary.
Healthcare professional advice
Luud Health has a network of healthcare professionals on-hand to talk with you and provide treatment advice following a positive STI diagnosis. Your results are confidential. We aim to provide you with the support and information you'll need.
