When should I get tested for an STI in Retford?
All Venereal Diseases have an incubation period. This is the time it takes for an infection to be detectable in your body from the time that you might have caught it. If you are worried about a specific incident in Retford, then the incubation period varies between 10 and 28 days depending on the infection and test method. You can book your STI Test appointment in advance. Please choose a date on or after the incubation period.
If you are having a regular check-up, then the incubation period is less important. Your results will be accurate for partners up to and before the incubation period of your tests or screens.
If you think you may have been exposed to an STI, or you have any symptoms, you should get tested.
