Infections tested for are chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and syphilis which are the commonest sexually transmitted infections. It is estimated that 1 in 10 sexually active young people have a chlamydia infection. Many men do not have any symptoms at all for the infections being tested although in some there is pain on urination, discharge and other symptoms. Whether there are symptoms or not, the potential for serious harm is very high with all the conditions tested for. They can cause infertility, very painful prostatitis and epididymitis, liver failure and unfortunately, even death. Testing is essential to keep you safe.
