The best place to get tested is at your doctors, where you’ll need to phone and book an appointment first. There’s no need to be embarrassed or nervous – STI tests are just a normal part of keeping healthy when you’re having sex. Plus, your doctor will just be happy that you’re taking control of your health.
Remember, your results are also completely confidential.
Doctor not an option? No problem.
There are many other services, including Family Planning NSW, Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS), Headspace and some youth-specific sexual health clinics.
For more info about any of these, or to put your mind at ease about STI testing, why not contact Nurse Nettie?
