Regular STD Testing And Its Importance
Regular STD testing is recommended for anyone who is sexually active, even when protection is used. Regular STD testing uncovers any potential sexually transmitted disease (STD) that may not show any signs and symptoms. The risk of contracting a STD or STI (sexually transmitted infection) significantly increases if you or your partner is sexually active with more than one partner. The risk also increases if one engages in risky sexual activities or if one’s partner is known to have a STD. Regular and timely STD testing therefore ensures that one remains healthy while keeping a sexually active and fulfilling lifestyle, and that prompt medical intervention may be taken should the need arises.
STD Symptoms
Different symptoms may manifest for different STDs, though certain STDs or STIs may come with no symptoms. Some STDs will also only manifest symptoms during very late stages of infection. This is also why STD testing is important for sexually active personnel; to detect any underlying conditions quickly and accurately.
Some common symptoms of STDs may include:
- abnormal vaginal / urethral discharge
- pain during urination
- itch or pain in the vagina / urethra
- rashes, sores and / or blisters on sexual organs
- abnormal growths or lumps on sexual organs
- swells, pain, aches, dullness in the testicles
- swelling of the lymph nodes at the groin
To conclusively detect any potential STD in a person, a comprehensive analysis of your risk complete with STD testing is recommended. Most STDs may be treated completely with prompt STD testing.

Rapid Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Test
According to both CDC in USA and statistics in Singapore, Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are the top 2 STIs. Left untreated both can cause serious long-term consequences such as infertility or complications during pregnancy affecting the unborn child.
Using the technology of real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction), which simply means that the test is able to detect the DNA of both Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea in real-time, allows for accurate and quick diagnosis of STIs caused by these 2 organisms. The accuracy of the test can be up to 95%.
Our clinics offers this rapid test whereby results are available by the next working day. Thus facilitating prompt and appropriate treatment. All that is required is either urine, endocervical, throat or anus samples depending on where the infection is likely to be present which will be determined by your doctor after the assessment.
We understand that getting STI testing can be daunting and concerns about privacy. That is why in DTAP we now offer Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test using the same rapid technology of PCR.
