Did you know? …
There is an increased risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancies when women delay treatment for STIs.
Full Screen
Expectant fathers should also receive thorough STI testing before trying for a baby. If you have an infection, you could pass it on to your partner. Should the infection be of high-risk, such as HIV, and your partner remains unaware of the transferred infection, it can cause complications during the pregnancy or birth of your child. It can also cause developmental problems in the child if they are exposed to the infection.
Better2Know’s Full Screen provides men and women with extensive testing for a variety of STIs. Certainty regarding your sexual health status can put your mind at ease when it comes to the health of both your partner and your baby.
Pre-Pregnancy Screen
Pregnant women could suffer from miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies or preterm birth, and the child could suffer from an array of health problems, including issues with development, as a result of an untreated sexual infection.
Better2Know’s Pre-Pregnancy Screen gives expectant mothers, or those wanting to conceive, peace of mind regarding their sexual health status. This screen will detect a wide range of STIs that can be treated or managed to ensure a pregnancy unperturbed by the consequences of sexually transmitted infections.
Female Swab
Better2Know’s Female Swab will look for bacterial infections that may be causing vaginal discomfort. It is a culture test suitable for women experiencing symptoms of a vaginal infection, whose circumstances indicate that their infection is not sexually transmitted. This includes symptoms such as unpleasant odour, yellow or green discharge, painful urination or itching and redness around the genitals.
