HIV Testing in Machakos
HIV is common in Machakos. Many people with HIV in Machakos are not aware that they have HIV or are not taking their medication every day. This means that they are at high risk of passing on the virus. If you are worried that your last sexual partner was one of them, then it is important to get an HIV Test.
If you find out that you have HIV early, then you can start medication sooner, which may mean that you can lead a normal length of life. The earliest we can test for HIV is just 10 days after any exposure with our Early HIV RNA test. If it has been at least four weeks since you were exposed then our HIV Duo test is the better-priced test with fast results and is available 6 days a week in Machakos.
What STDs should I test for in Machakos?
The most important STD to test for is HIV, as this can be fatal if if is not treated and is common in Machakos. Other STDs are not tested for as often, and are less well known about, but are very common. These include:
- Chlamydia - often has no symptoms and can cause infertility
- Syphilis - many years may pass between the initial Chancre (sore) and serious illness so many people do not think they have it
- Herpes - a common cause of blisters in the mouth (type 1) and genital area (type 2) outbreaks can reoccur and cause people to feel unwell
If you are worried about a recent sexual encounter then you should get an STD test to protect you, your health and your future partners.
