Private, professional and non-judgmental care
Confidential sexual health care
at MyGP Clinic
MyGP Clinic provides confidential STI and STD screening, testing, treatment and prevention services at selected clinics. You can speak openly with a doctor about symptoms, a recent exposure, a new partner, routine screening, HIV testing, PrEP or PEP.
Your consultation helps the doctor recommend tests based on timing, symptoms, sexual practices and the parts of the body that may have been exposed. You do not need to feel embarrassed, and you do not need to know which test to request before attending.
Services, tests, medicines and appointment times vary by branch. Please contact MyGP before visiting so the team can direct you to an appropriate clinic.
The right test starts with you
STI testing tailored to you
There is no single test that detects every STI. The right sample and timing depend on the infection being considered and where exposure occurred.
Urine or genital sample
Chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing
A urine sample or vaginal, cervical or urethral swab may be used for nucleic acid amplification testing, often called NAAT or PCR. Testing for trichomonas or other organisms may be considered depending on symptoms, examination and test availability.
Exposure-site testing
Throat and rectal swabs
Oral or anal exposure can result in infection of the throat or rectum, sometimes without symptoms. Throat or rectal swabs may therefore be recommended based on your sexual history. A urine test alone may not assess these sites.
No symptoms needed
Routine and partner-based screening
Many STIs cause no symptoms. Testing may be appropriate after a new partner, condomless sex, a partner's diagnosis, before stopping condom use with a partner, during pregnancy planning, or as part of regular sexual health care.
Testing is individual: Tell the doctor about oral, vaginal and anal exposure so that relevant body sites can be considered. This information is used to guide care, not to judge you.
Know when to get checked
When should I consider an STI check?
Arrange a consultation if you are concerned about an exposure or notice symptoms such as:
- Unusual vaginal, penile or rectal discharge
- Pain or burning when passing urine
- Genital sores, blisters, ulcers, lumps or warts
- Pelvic, lower abdominal or testicular discomfort
- Pain during sex or bleeding after sex
- Rectal pain, discharge or bleeding
- Sore throat after oral exposure
- A rash, swollen glands or unexplained fever
- A current or recent partner diagnosed with an STI
- No symptoms, but you would like routine screening
Seek urgent medical care for severe pelvic or abdominal pain, severe testicular pain or swelling, significant bleeding, fever with feeling very unwell, or after sexual assault. If you may need HIV PEP, seek assessment immediately and within 72 hours.
Understand your options
HIV testing, PrEP and PEP are different services
A doctor can help you choose the appropriate pathway based on whether you want testing, ongoing prevention before possible exposure, or urgent medication after a recent exposure.
HIV testing
HIV testing checks your current status. The recommended test and timing depend on when the exposure occurred. A very early negative result may not exclude infection, so repeat testing may be advised.
PrEP: prevention before exposure
Pre-exposure prophylaxis is HIV-prevention medication for HIV-negative people who may have an ongoing or future risk of exposure. It requires an assessment, HIV testing and appropriate monitoring.
PEP: urgent care after exposure
Post-exposure prophylaxis is an emergency HIV-prevention option after a possible exposure. When clinically indicated, it should be started as soon as possible and within 72 hours.
A reactive HIV screening result requires confirmatory testing and prompt linkage to appropriate HIV care. The MyGP team can explain the next step and arrange referral where needed.
Clear steps. Continued care.
Treatment and follow-up
Several common bacterial or parasitic STIs—including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis—can be treated. Other infections may need symptom management, monitoring, vaccination advice or referral. Treatment is based on the diagnosis, current guidance, allergies, pregnancy status and other clinical factors.
- Private assessment Discuss symptoms, exposure sites, timing, partners, medicines and relevant health history.
- Appropriate testing The doctor recommends samples and examinations based on your individual situation.
- Results and treatment Results are explained clearly, with treatment or referral arranged where appropriate.
- Follow-up plan This may include partner testing or treatment, temporary sexual precautions and repeat testing.
Do not self-treat with leftover antibiotics. The correct medicine and follow-up matter, particularly because antimicrobial resistance can affect gonorrhoea treatment. Complete prescribed treatment and follow the clinician's advice about sex and partner care.

View current detailsA larger panel is not automatically the right panel. A fixed package may not include every relevant test or body site. Ask the doctor whether you need a blood test, urine test, genital swab, throat swab, rectal swab or repeat test based on your exposure.
When should I test?
Different infections and tests have different window periods. Testing too soon can produce a negative result even when repeat testing is later needed.
- If you have symptoms, arrange an assessment now.
- If a partner has been diagnosed, seek advice now.
- If the exposure was within 72 hours and HIV is a concern, seek urgent PEP assessment now.
- If you feel well, a clinician can advise the best initial and repeat testing dates.
Before your appointment
If possible, note the date of the most recent exposure, the type of exposure, any symptoms, your last STI test and any medicines or antibiotics you have taken.
Preparation differs by test. Contact the clinic before your visit rather than guessing—for example, a urine test may have specific collection instructions.
Good questions. Clear answers.
STI testing FAQs
Can I have an STI without symptoms?
Yes. Many STIs can be present without noticeable symptoms, including infections of the throat or rectum. Testing decisions should consider exposure and risk, not symptoms alone.
Which STIs can MyGP test for?
Depending on the branch and clinical indication, testing may include HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and selected other infections. The exact test panel and sample type should be confirmed during your consultation.
Do I need blood, urine or swab tests?
It depends on the infections being considered and the sites exposed. Blood may be used for HIV, syphilis and selected hepatitis tests. Urine or genital swabs may be used for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, while throat or rectal swabs may be relevant after oral or anal exposure.
How soon after sex should I get tested?
Testing windows vary by infection and test. If you have symptoms, a partner has been diagnosed, or you are worried about an exposure, contact a clinician now. You may be offered initial testing and advised to repeat some tests later.
What should I do after a possible HIV exposure?
Seek urgent medical assessment as soon as possible. If PEP is appropriate, it should be started as early as possible and within 72 hours. Do not wait for symptoms or a routine screening appointment.
What is the difference between PrEP and PEP?
PrEP is medication taken to reduce HIV risk before possible future exposure. PEP is an urgent course considered after a recent possible exposure. Both require medical assessment and HIV testing.
If my result is positive, can I be treated?
Many bacterial and parasitic STIs are treatable. Viral infections may require prevention advice, monitoring, treatment to control the infection or referral. Your doctor will explain the diagnosis, treatment, partner care and follow-up.
Does my partner also need testing or treatment?
Often, yes. This depends on the infection and timing. Partner care helps prevent complications and reinfection. The doctor can discuss practical and confidential ways to inform current or recent partners.
Can I request a doctor of a particular gender?
You may ask when booking. Doctor availability varies by branch and roster, so contact the clinic in advance.
Are STI services available at every MyGP clinic?
Consultations, tests, medicines and appointment times vary by branch. Contact MyGP before visiting so the team can confirm availability and direct you to a suitable clinic.
