What is an STI clinic? An STI clinic is a place where people can go for testing for sexually transmitted infections. People often choose to visit an STI clinic when they want reassurance after unprotected sexual contact or suspect they may have an STI. During a consultation, the appropriate tests are discussed and you receive information about what happens next.
Although an STI clinic is a trusted option for many people, there are also accessible alternatives available today. With Labtest.nl, you can easily and discreetly take an STI test at home. Your sample is then analysed by an affiliated ISO-certified laboratory, according to the same quality standards used by STI clinics and hospitals.
Why do people choose an STI clinic?
Visiting an STI clinic can be appealing when someone wants personal contact or has questions during the testing process. Depending on the location, however, there may be waiting times, limited opening hours or an appointment may be required.
Some people may also feel uncomfortable visiting a physical location due to privacy concerns. This is one reason why reliable home STI tests with ISO-certified laboratory analysis are becoming increasingly popular.
