A negative result means that the labs found no trace of any infection in your system. However, this does not mean that you are in the clear forever. We still highly recommend you taking normal precautions during any sexual activity in which you engage and continue to get tested regularly.

A positive result means that our labs found some trace of infection in your system. Our medical doctors will help give recommendations and, in some cases, prescribe treatment. If you require a specialist, they may also refer you to one in your area.

A test result that is equivocal means that it was neither positive nor negative. This could be due to a variety of factors. For example, if you have recently contracted an STD, it may not be present in your system long enough to produce a true "positive" result. You could also have another disease or a substance in your system that is causing an equivocal result. If you receive an equivocal result, your best option is to wait a short time before being tested again. This will aid in determining your next major step and whether or not you should begin treatment. Please do not interpret an equivocal result as negative.

If a test result is reported as “Non-Reactive”, then it is Negative.

Positive results will be attended to by our medical team, where possible a prescription will be provided. For more complicated conditions, additional testing and/or a referral to a more specialized provider may be required.

The general answer is no, but medical aid benefits differ significantly. To be sure, it is best to check directly with your medical aid on whether the tests are covered. As a general rule, most non-emergency procedures are not covered by medical aid or come out of your medical savings (this is just your money, kept by the medical aid and not an actual benefit)

Many STDs may not show symptoms, or may disguise themselves as other illness/disease symptoms. The only way to be sure is to Get Tested.

An STI (sexually transmitted infection) is an infection whereas an STD was an infection that developed into a disease.
