STI testing: why symptoms are not the whole story
Looking or feeling well does not rule out a sexually transmitted infection.
Three practical points
- Ask a qualified clinician or sexual-health service which tests suit your exposure and timing.
- Explain the concern clearly and ask whether follow-up testing is needed.
- Check how results will be delivered and what to do while waiting.
In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
