Sexual health screening done with complete discretion. We test for all major sexually transmitted infections in a private, judgment-free environment, with results and treatment available the same visit.
Many STIs have no symptoms yet cause serious long-term harm, infertility, organ damage, and increased HIV risk. Our comprehensive panel screens for all major infections at once, giving you complete peace of mind.
🦠
Gonorrhoea & Chlamydia
The two most common bacterial STIs: often completely symptomless. Detected via urine or swab testing. If positive, antibiotics cure both.
🔬
Syphilis (TPHA)
Syphilis is resurging in Nigeria. Blood test screens for Treponema pallidum antibodies. Early detection means simple penicillin treatment. Untreated syphilis damages the heart, brain, and nervous system.
🛡️
HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis B
We include rapid HIV antibody test, HSV-1/2 IgG serology, and Hepatitis B surface antigen, a complete sexual health screen in one blood draw, with counselling included.
When to Test
Five Reasons to Get Screened Today
01
Unprotected Sex or Condom Failure
Any unprotected encounter carries risk, regardless of how the other person appears. Most STIs are asymptomatic, testing is the only way to know for sure.
02
New or Multiple Sexual Partners
Starting a new relationship or having had multiple partners in the past year warrants a full screen. Know your status before it becomes a problem.
03
Unusual Discharge, Sores, or Itching
Genital discharge, ulcers, painful urination, or rashes are red-flag symptoms of gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis, or herpes. Test immediately.
04
Before Starting a New Relationship
Getting tested before starting a committed relationship protects both partners and builds trust. Many couples test together as part of family planning.
05

Preparation
How to Prepare for Your STI Screen
Minimal preparation needed: your privacy is our priority from the moment you arrive.
💧
For Urine / Swab Tests
Do not urinate for at least 1–2 hours before a urine test. For swab-based tests (genital), no special preparation is required.
🔒
Anonymous Testing Available
No names required for STI screening. You can be tested completely anonymously. Only you will receive your results. We never share them with anyone else.
💊
Disclose Recent Antibiotics
If you have recently taken antibiotics (within 7–14 days), mention this before testing. They may suppress bacterial infections and cause false-negative results.
