Vaginosis Bacterial infection testing can detect sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) caused by bacteria. These STDs include ureaplasma, mycoplasma, gonorrhoea and chlamydia
Having unprotected sex can result in an STD infection, and some STDs do not show symptoms. This makes it difficult to know if you have any STD and unknowingly transmit it to others.

Testing for bacterial infections is vital as these STIs are the most common sexually transmitted infections. The testing procedure is fast and simple, and you shouldn’t be worried if you have a positive result. Medications are available that effectively treat bacterial STIs
We offer a comprehensive bacterial infections test package. This package includes a test for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, which takes about 2 – 5 days. We also carry out swab testing for other bacterial STIs.
We will send the swab for culture analysis to a well-equipped laboratory. Bacterial swabs take about 48 – 72 hours, but urine tests take 2 – 5 days. These tests are reliable for detecting sexually transmitted diseases.
If you want to undergo bacterial STI testing, avoid urinating at least two hours before the test.
If you had unprotected sex (sex without using a condom), you need an STI test, especially if you have several sex partners. You should also undergo STI testing if you have a new sex partner.
Yes, you do. Smear tests aren’t for bacterial infection diagnosis, but the procedure is almost the same. Even if you had a recent smear test, you still need an STD screen.
Blood test screening is suitable for the high-risk population, but a bacterial screen is sufficient for the early diagnosis of common infections. Your healthcare provider will advise you on the most suitable.
