STI Pack

It is considered appropriate to have a regular STI check-up from time to time, approximately once a year. This is because more than 85% of sexually transmitted diseases are asymptomatic and, if diagnosed early, can be treated very well. In addition, regular screening can prevent numerous complications, such as infertility or various types of cancer.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that often has no symptoms, especially in the early stages of infection. However, in some cases, the following symptoms may appear:

• Abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina.
• Pain or burning when urinating.
• Pain or bleeding during sexual intercourse.
• Pain or a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen.
• Anal discharge or painful defecation (in case of rectal infection).

It is important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other sexually transmitted infections or other medical conditions. In some people, chlamydia may be present without symptoms for a long time, increasing the risk of long-term complications such as infertility.

Yes, gonorrhoea is curable with proper treatment. The infection is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and can be effectively treated with antibiotics. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if a gonorrhoea infection is suspected, as the infection can spread and cause serious complications if not treated properly. In addition, a person infected with gonorrhoea may also be infected with other sexually transmitted diseases, so it is important to be tested for other infections and treated accordingly. After being treated for gonorrhoea, it is important to follow up with your doctor to make sure that the infection has been completely cleared. In addition, it is important to practice safe sex to prevent transmission and reinfection.

The window period is the time from infection with a disease until diagnostic methods can detect the presence of the disease in the body. In summary, the window periods for STIs in the ITS-7 test are as follows:

• HIV: Average time is 2-4 weeks, could be up to +12 weeks.
• Hepatitis B: Average time is 1-4 weeks, could be up to +9 weeks.
• Hepatitis C: Average time is 6-9 weeks, could be up to +12 weeks.
• Syphilis: Average time is 3-6 weeks, could be up to +12 weeks.
• Gonorrhoea: Average time is 1-2 weeks, could be up to +2 weeks.
• Chlamydia: Average time is 1-3 weeks, could be up to +12 weeks.
• Trichomonas: Average time is 1-4 weeks, could be up to +4 weeks.

It is important to note that these window periods may vary from person to person and that diagnostic tests may have different levels of sensitivity and specificity at different times after infection. If a sexually transmitted infection is suspected, it is recommended to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can affect different parts of the body, including the genitals, rectum and throat. Some of the most common symptoms that can occur in the different areas affected by the infection are described below:

• Genitalia: In women, there may be abnormal vaginal discharge, pain or burning with urination, pain during intercourse, or vaginal bleeding outside the menstrual period. In men, there may be discharge from the penis, pain or burning during urination, and pain or swelling in the testicles.
• Rectum: there may be rectal discharge, pain, itching, bleeding, rectal tenesmus (sensation of having to defecate) and pain during bowel movements.
• Throat: there may be a sore throat, redness and pain when swallowing.

It is important to note that some of these symptoms may be caused by other infections or medical conditions, and that gonorrhoea can also occur asymptomatically.

Trichomoniasis, also known as «trichomonas», is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. In some people, the infection may have no symptoms. However, when they do appear, symptoms may include:

• Foul-smelling, greenish-yellow vaginal discharge.
• Pain or burning when urinating.
• Irritation, redness or itching in the vaginal area.
• Pain during sexual intercourse.

It is important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other sexually transmitted infections or other medical conditions. In addition, some people may have the infection without having symptoms, which increases the risk of transmission and long-term complications.
