Testing for STIs can happen through:

  • Finger prick test
  • Fluid sample from vagina, penis, anus or any sores
  • Blood test
  • Urine test
  • Pelvic examination

 

If you test positive for an STI and your doctor suspects it has turned into an STD, further examinations can be required, including surgeries and more invasive procedures.
