luna1 -> RE: What STD's do you get tested for? (10/29/2012 10:09:26 AM)

In the Netherlands, testing for STD's is free for people in risk groups (youth, multiple partners etc). The diseases that are tested for are HIV, Hepatitis B, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, lymfogranuloma venerum (only when chlamydia is found in an anal swab) and trichomoniasis when indicated. Thrush is not an STD, and therefore testing for it is quite useless. In STD consults in high-risk groups, swabs are taken from the vagina, anus and throat, as they can also harbour bugs (mainly chlamydia). I have an STD test every 6 months.
