Why Go For an STD Check Up?

An STD check up can help detect infections such as:

  • Chlamydia.
  • Gonorrhoea.
  • Syphilis.
  • HIV.
  • Hepatitis B and C.
  • Herpes.
  • HPV.

Early detection is key to successful treatment and prevention of further transmission. Many STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning you might not notice any symptoms even if you are infected.

What To Expect During an STD Screening

A typical STD screening may include:

  • A consultation to understand your medical history and symptoms (if any).
  • Blood and/or urine tests.
  • Swab samples, depending on the suspected infection.
  • A follow-up discussion of your results with a doctor.

Most clinics provide discreet testing with quick turnaround times, often within a few working days.

Can I Use Medisave for STD Testing?

Medisave generally does not cover STD testing unless it is part of a related hospitalisation or medically necessary procedure. Most STD screenings in Singapore are done in private clinics, and payment is usually out-of-pocket.

Choosing Between Singapore and Malaysia

Some individuals explore both Singapore and Malaysia—particularly Johor Bahru or Kuala Lumpur—for their STD check ups. Each option has its own considerations:

  • Cost: Malaysia may offer lower prices, especially in private clinics, which can be appealing for those looking to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Convenience: Singapore-based clinics may provide quicker access to follow-up care and results, especially if further consultation is required.
  • Medical Records: Having your medical history and records within Singapore may support better continuity of care.
  • Language and Privacy: Clinics in both countries generally maintain professional standards, but language preferences and privacy protocols may vary slightly depending on the provider.

Ultimately, the decision depends on your personal needs, comfort level, and budget. Both countries offer quality services, and choosing a reputable clinic is key to ensuring a smooth and confidential experience.
