Where can someone do a full STD / STI screening and what is the cost about? On the east rand preferably, but can be done anywhere. Thanks

It's more cost effective to buy a home testing kit online. Most testing places such as any Lancet lab, Dischem etc either don't test for all STI's or charge an absolute fortune.

Considering this is something that I feel everyone should do at least once every six months, it's not that accessible.

One can never be too safe these days. And even if you are, you cannot guarantee the safety of your partners.

I did a quick search and Famka came up. Are they reliable? Or any other site you can recommend? Thanks K!nky M!nx :)

I saw also the FAMKA site, but they don't have any kit screening for Trichonomas. And that actually the one I most interested in getting checked. But I'll rather go do them all

Sediba Hope in the pretoria CBD has a clinic for WG (and working guys ) and they do full testing free and even supply free prescriptions and condoms to WG.

For punters, if you are willing to say you sleep with men you can go to Ten81 in Hatfield in Pretoria and they will do free testing for you.

You can buy a home HIV test now days at most pharmacies now days.
It does not cover all sti and stds though.

That you need to see a dr. for. If you shy, then just go to a dr. you don't normally go to.

Throwaway acc for obvious reasons.
had a bad experience with home test that came up with a different result to the lab - if you google around you will see that the home kits are usually less accurate. For me being in this lifestyle its worth keeping aside the extra money for a better test.

There's a decent amount of available tests, for proper tests that's more expensive try get-tested, testeasi or lancet

home tests are available at pharmacies (usually just hiv) or online
