What This Routine Female STI Screen Includes
Blood Test
This 4th generation HIV blood test checks for HIV-1 antibodies, HIV-2 antibodies and HIV p24 antigen. It may help identify markers linked to HIV infection.
Syphilis blood testing checks for antibodies associated with syphilis infection. If results suggest infection, further medical advice and treatment may be recommended.
Vaginal Swab
The vaginal swab checks for chlamydia, one of the most common bacterial STIs. Chlamydia may not always cause symptoms, so testing can still be useful even if you feel well.
The vaginal swab also screens for gonorrhoea, a bacterial STI that can affect the genital tract and may require treatment if detected.

When Should I Test?
Different infections have different testing window periods, so the best time to take an STI test depends on the infection being checked and the time since possible exposure.

- HIV blood testing: most accurate from approximately 45 days after exposure
- Syphilis blood testing: often recommended from around 3-6 weeks after exposure, depending on individual circumstances
If testing is performed earlier than the recommended window period, repeat testing may sometimes be advised for additional reassurance.
