2. Anonymous Testing is an Option - Certain clinics, such as DSC Clinic and select private clinics, offer anonymous HIV testing, ensuring your identity remains protected. However, not all STDs can be tested anonymously.
3. A Range of Tests is Available - Common STD tests include: HIV Testing (Rapid or Blood Test) , Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Test (Urine or Swab Test), Syphilis & Herpes Test (Blood Test), Hepatitis B & C Screening. Some clinics provide comprehensive STD panels that screen for multiple infections at once.
