STD vs STI: what is the difference?
STI means sexually transmitted infection. STD means sexually transmitted disease. In everyday language, the terms are often used in the same way. Many infections do not cause obvious symptoms at first, which is why sexual health screening is important even when you feel well.
When should you get STI screening?
You should consider STI / STD testing if you have had unprotected sex, a condom broke, you have a new partner, you have multiple partners, you have symptoms, or you simply want peace of mind. Testing is also sensible before starting a new relationship or after a possible exposure while travelling. If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy and are concerned about an STI, please see our information about STDs during pregnancy or contact the clinic for confidential advice.
Symptoms that may need STD testing
- Pain or burning when urinating.
- Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina.
- Genital sores, blisters, ulcers, lumps or warts.
- Pelvic pain, testicular pain or pain during sex.
- Rash, fever, swollen glands or unexplained flu-like symptoms after possible exposure.
- No symptoms, but a recent sexual risk or concern.
What STDs and STIs can be tested?
The most appropriate sexual health screening depends on your symptoms, medical history, possible exposure, recent sexual activity and the timing of testing after exposure. Different infections may require different types of screening and follow-up. CM Mediclinic can advise on suitable and clinically appropriate testing options for a range of common sexually transmitted infections, including:
- HIV
- Syphilis
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhoea / gonorrhea
- Herpes simplex virus
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C

- Trichomoniasis
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Urinary or genital symptoms requiring laboratory testing
- Other STI panels when clinically appropriate

Treatment after STI / STD testing
If your test suggests an infection, our medical team can advise on appropriate treatment and follow-up.
