STD testing / STD screening lets you check for the presence of a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Which is an infection that is spread, mainly by sexual contact with an infected person, when no condom is used during vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex, or cunnilingus.
Early STD treatment stops further damage to your body, prevents STD transmission to another person, and lets you tell your previous partners so that they can get tested.
After infection, you may not have STD symptoms. But you can check for an STI with STD screening.
We are a walk-in clinic, so during our operating hours, you may just walk in. Kindly hold your urine overnight, or for at least 4 hours prior to arriving at the clinic. As there may be some waiting for your turn, after registration, if you are unable to continue holding your urine, ask the counter for a urine container to provide a first-catch sample of urine.
Consultation is SG$68/=, which includes:
- Private and confidential discussion of sexual history, symptoms and concerns
- Genital examination for discharge, blisters, ulcers, growths, rash. Consider trimming or shaving your pubic hair to facilitate a clearer view
- Provisional diagnosis and sexual risk assessment
- Discussion of investigation and treatment options

Regular STD Testing In Singapore
Regular screening / testing for STDs is recommended for all sexually active adults regardless of whether or not there are symptoms. Aside from regular screening as part of a comprehensive health maintenance schedule, STD testing is also frequently done by people starting a new sexual relationship, getting married or entering into a long term monogamous relationship.
The requirements for STD screening depend on the patient’s sexual practices. A blood test is usually required. Also, depending on the individual’s sexual practices, a urine sample, vaginal swab, throat swab or an anal swab may also be required.
What Are STDs? Why Is STD Testing & Screening Important?
STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) are bacteria, viruses and parasites that are transmitted from one person to another primarily during sexual intercourse. STDs can infect the penis, the vagina, the anus, the throat and even the eyes. Certain STDs can also cause symptoms in places other than the sexual organs.
For example, Syphilis can result in a rash that covers the whole body including the palms and the soles. In fact, more worryingly, many STDs can infect a person and stay completely invisible without causing any symptoms (also known as asymptomatic infections).
These cases are particularly challenging as patients do not even know that they have been infected, and therefore do not get STD tested and treated. They then not only potentially suffer serious long term complications caused by the infection, but they can also unknowingly pass the infection onto others. STD testing is thus important in helping an individual detect underlying STDs quickly and accurately.
While seldom talked about in public, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are more common than we think. This is especially so among young people, or more accurately, anyone who is sexually active.
STIs refers to any infection that is passed from one person to another through sexual intercourse (this also includes oral and anal sex); sometimes through direct contact with the genitals. Regular and prompt STD testing can help uncover such STIs accurately.

Modes of STD Testing & Screening
STDs / STIs can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, through sexual contact and through blood contact. Depending on conditions, your doctor may recommend a STD blood test, STD urine test or STD swab test. For STD swab tests, the test may be performed on the penis, vaginal, rectal area, throat area, or another infected areas.
Preparation for STD Testing
- URINE STD TEST – Please hold your urine for at least 2 hours prior to the urine STD test.
- VAGINAL SWAB – Please avoid vaginal STD swab during menstruation.
- ABNORMAL DISCHARGE – Please avoid cleaning off any abnormal discharge from the penis, vagina, throat, and/or anus. A swab sample will be collected.
- TEST RESULTS – Results of STD test and STD screening will take 3 – 7 working days.
Results can be communicated via phone or email. Preserving patient confidentiality is of utmost priority. Therefore reports will NOT be snail mailed by post.
STD Treatment at a Singapore STD Clinic
STD testing and screening is essential in determining your STD status. Many STDs can be cured with the correct antibiotics. Others can be managed with medication. Knowing your status also allows you to take steps to protect your partner while the infection is being treated. Leaving an infection untreated can lead to serious complications like infertility.
What may be a aggravating factor is trying to self treat with home remedies such as apple cider vinegar or over the counter antibiotics. Doctors often see patients who suffer serious complications like skin burns from home remedies. Taking antibiotics without proper medical advice can also lead to the bacteria becoming resistant to the medicines thereby requiring stronger and more toxic medicines to treat. In more rare but serious cases, the bacteria becomes completely resistant and effectively incurable.
