Once a taboo subject, sex and sexual health was a no-go for discussion!
However, today acceptance has replaced reluctance, and talking about your private life is more common, even in the older generation.
In an age where people are living longer, it is more common to have more than one life partner today than in decades gone by. Whether losing a partner through illness or divorce, women and men are now embarking on second or third or more long-term relationships and marriages.
Whatever the circumstances, whatever the age, sometimes when you find a new partner the last thing you want to do is give them the third degree about their past exploits! But, difficult though it may be, if you decide to spend more than a cup of coffee with your new Mr or Mrs Right, you both really need to consider getting sexual health checks.
It is easy and confidential to get tested for any sexually transmitted infection (STI) at one of our clinics.
Simply call us on 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com to book an appointment with our nurse.
Testing is straightforward and with our sympathetic staff there is no need to feel embarrassed.
The main STIs we test for are;
- chlamydia
- genital herpes
- gonorrhoea
- genital warts
- hepatitis
- syphilis
- HIV/Aids.
As usually a patient will not know what infection they have been exposed to it is medically safer to test for them all, and then the correct diagnosis and medication can be provided. Full STI screening is from 280 euros.
If you think you may have been exposed to any STI it is vital to get tested. You may not have symptoms but the infection could be doing damage, and you could pass it on to another sexual partner. If you are embarking on a new relationship – at any stage of life – it is a good idea to get tested for STIs.
Your privacy is very important to us. All enquires are treated with the utmost confidence. Your results will be give ONLY to you
