Confidential, judgment-free testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections — from a specialist who treats them routinely, including care tailored for MSM.
Sexually transmitted infections are extremely common, and most carry no stigma in the consulting room — they are simply infections, and they are treatable. The two things that matter are testing at the right time and treating properly, including partners where needed. At Nirvana Clinic this is routine, confidential work.
A 30-second confidential self-check for HIV exposure. Your answers stay on the page unless you choose to contact the clinic.
A 30-second private self-check to understand whether PEP, testing or reassurance is the next step.
🔒 Private · your answers stay on this page unless you WhatsApp usEducational guidance only — not a diagnosis. If exposure was within 72 hours, call urgently.
Very common, often symptom-free, easily treated when caught. Untreated, they can affect fertility.
Still seen in practice and often silent. A simple blood test detects it and treatment is straightforward — but it can become serious if ignored.
Common and manageable. Not curable, but symptoms and transmission are well controlled with treatment.
Assessment, treatment of warts, and advice on prevention and vaccination.
Bloodborne infections worth screening for alongside STIs; both are now very treatable.
Always part of a full sexual health check — see confidential HIV testing.
Get checked if you notice any of: unusual discharge, burning on passing urine, sores or ulcers, genital itching or rash, or pelvic/testicular pain. But — and this is the important part — most STIs can be completely silent. Testing is wise after:
Symptoms alone can’t confirm which infection you have — testing does that — but any of these should prompt a confidential check:
| Symptom | Possible causes | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Burning on urination | Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, urethritis, UTI | Urine test / swab, then treatment after assessment |
| Genital discharge | Gonorrhoea, chlamydia, trichomonas | Test early; don’t self-medicate |
| Genital ulcer or sore | Herpes, syphilis and others | Examination and targeted testing |
| Genital warts | HPV | Assessment, wart treatment, vaccine advice |
| Rash, fever, swollen glands | Syphilis, early HIV, other viral illness | Blood tests and clinical assessment |
| No symptoms but a recent exposure | Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis | Screening still makes sense |
The right test depends on your symptoms, the type of exposure and timing — not everyone needs every test.
| Infection | Common test |
|---|---|
| HIV | 4th-generation HIV test; HIV RNA/NAT in selected early high-risk cases |
| Syphilis | Blood test (VDRL/RPR) with a confirmatory treponemal test where needed |
| Gonorrhoea / chlamydia | NAAT/PCR from urine or swab; site depends on exposure |
| Herpes | Clinical assessment; PCR/swab from a fresh lesion where available |
| Hepatitis B / C | Blood tests (HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, anti-HCV) where relevant |
| HPV / warts | Clinical examination; cervical screening for women as per age/risk |
Some infections can be tested early; others need a repeat. Timing depends on symptoms and exposure:
A respectful discussion of history and risk to decide which tests are relevant — not every test is needed for everyone.
Blood tests, swabs or urine samples as appropriate, arranged discreetly.
Most bacterial STIs are cured with a short course of the right medicine; viral ones are well controlled. Treatment is guideline-based and specific to the infection.
Advice on informing and treating partners to prevent re-infection, plus prevention going forward — including PrEP where HIV risk is ongoing.
Treatment isn’t complete unless re-infection is prevented:
