Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and can affect anyone who’s ever had oral, vaginal or anal sex. STIs often don’t have any symptoms but if left untreated, can cause long-term health impacts.
No matter who you are, where you live, or what your sexual health needs are, there’s an STI testing service for you. Use our STI testing service finder to locate a NSW testing service near you.
