STD Tests Singapore

Private & Discreet STD Tests

Get fast, accurate, and confidential STD tests in Singapore. Our clinic provides comprehensive screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with discreet care and personalised doctor support.

What Are STD Tests?

STD tests are medical tests used to detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including (not exhaustive):

  • HIV
  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhoea
  • Syphilis
  • Hepatitis A & B
  • Hepatitis C
  • HPV
  • Herpes Simplex Virus 1/2
  • Non gonococcal Urethritis (NGU) 
  • LGV*
  • Chancroid *

These infections can be transmitted through oral, vaginal, or anal sex, even without symptoms.

Regular STD testing in Singapore is essential for maintaining sexual health and preventing transmission.

Why STD Testing Is Important

Many STDs are asymptomatic, meaning you may not know you are infected.

Testing helps:

  • Detect infections early
  • Prevent complications (e.g. infertility, organ damage)
  • Protect your partner(s)
  • Provide peace of mind

Routine screening is recommended for sexually active individuals.

When Should You Get Tested?

You do not need symptoms to get tested. Most STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and HIV can be present for months or years without any noticeable signs. Testing is the only reliable way to know your status.

Consider getting tested if you:

  • Had unprotected sexual contact or a condom broke
  • Have a new sexual partner or multiple partners
  • Have a current or previous partner has been diagnosed with an STI
  • Are experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, sores, pain during urination, or unexplained rashes, 
  • Are planning a pregnancy or going through premarital screening
  • Simply want STD tests as part of routine preventive health care.

Annual screening is a reasonable baseline for sexually active adults. More frequent testing, every 3 to 6 months is recommended for individuals with multiple partners or those on PrEP.

Common STDs in Singapore 

In Singapore, common STDs include:

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhoea
  • Syphilis
  • Genital herpes
  • HPV (genital warts)

Some infections may show symptoms, while others remain silent, making regular testing important.

STD Tests Available in Singapore

Our doctors will recommend the most appropriate tests based on your sexual history, symptoms (if any), and the timing of your last potential exposure. You can also request specific tests individually.

We offer a wide range of STD tests in Singapore:

Blood Tests

  • HIV Ag/Ab (4th Generation) - Detects both HIV antigen and antibodies. Reliable from 28 days after exposure. This is the current standard of care for HIV screening. 
  • Syphilis (TP Antibody / RPR / VDRL) - Screens for current or past syphilis infection. Reliable from 3 to 6 weeks after exposure. 
  • Hepatitis B (HBsAg and HBsAb) — Checks for active hepatitis B infection and immunity status. Reliable from 4 to 6 weeks after exposure. 
  • Hepatitis A (Total Antibody) - Screens for hepatitis A exposure or past infection. 
  • Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV) - Screens for hepatitis C exposure. Reliable from 8 to 12 weeks after exposure. 

 

Urine and Swab Tests (PCR)

  • Chlamydia trachomatis PCR - The most common bacterial STI in Singapore. Often completely asymptomatic, especially in women. Detectable from about 2 weeks after exposure. 
  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae PCR - Screens for gonorrhoea. Detectable from about 2 weeks after exposure. PCR testing can be performed from multiple anatomical sites, urethral, vaginal, pharyngeal (throat), or rectal - depending on your sexual history. This matters because pharyngeal and rectal gonorrhoea and chlamydia are frequently asymptomatic. A patient who tests only at one site may carry an undetected infection at another. Our doctor will advise on the appropriate number of sites to test based on your history.


Women's Screening

  • PAP Smear - Screens for abnormal cervical cells. Recommended every 3 years for women aged 25 to 65. 
  • HPV DNA Test - Detects high-risk HPV strains linked to cervical cancer. Can be combined with a PAP smear or done as a standalone screen. Also available as a self-collection swab. 
  • Triple Vaginal Swab - Tests for Gardnerella (bacterial vaginosis), Candida (yeast infection), and Trichomonas. These are not always sexually transmitted but are commonly included in a women's sexual health screen.

STD Symptoms

Men: Abnormal discharge from the penis or anus, pain or discomfort when urinating, pain during sexual intercourse, the development of rashes either localised or generalised on your body, or the appearance of growths or ulcers around the penis or anus. Itchiness in the penile or anal area can also be a cause for concern.

Women: Unusual vaginal discharge (change in colour, consistency or odour), pain or discomfort when urinating, pain during sexual intercourse, a rash either localised or generalised on the body, growths or ulcers around the vagina or anus, unusual vaginal bleeding between periods, and pelvic or lower abdominal pain. Itchiness or irritation in the vaginal or anal area can also be a sign of infection.

Taking care of your sexual health is vital, and getting tested is a proactive step towards maintaining a healthy sexual life.

Who should get STD tests 

Regular STD testing offers peace of mind for individuals who are sexually active, particularly those with multiple partners. It's recommended to undergo testing annually if sexually active or whenever engaging with a new partner. This proactive approach ensures early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of complications and transmission.

If you:

  • Had unprotected sex
  • Have STD symptoms such as itching, discharge or pain
  • Believe you had been exposed to individuals carrying STD virus

If you believe you have been exposed to high risk and unprotected sexual exposure in the last 72 hours, there are options available such as Post-Exposure Prophylaxis.

On PrEP? You Need More Than an STD Test

If you are taking HIV PrEP, whether prescribed in Singapore, purchased online, or obtained from a clinic overseas, you need structured monitoring that goes beyond a standard STD screen. 

PrEP requires quarterly HIV testing to confirm you are still HIV-negative, regular STI screening (PrEP prevents HIV but not other infections), and kidney function monitoring because the medication can affect renal health over time. 

A standard STD test does not cover kidney function, liver function, or the metabolic markers that PrEP users need tracked. Our PrEP Monitoring & Sexual Health Screening packages are designed specifically for this — combining STI screening with the organ function blood work your PrEP regimen requires, all under the care of one consistent doctor. 

Visit our PrEP Monitoring page for full details and pricing, or WhatsApp us to discuss which option suits your situation.

How to prepare for STD testing at Regis Medical 

For urine tests, please hold your urine for at least 2 hours before your tests. Let our staff know to pass you a urine bottle on arrival to the clinic in case you need to use the toilet urgently upon arrival. 

For ladies, it is not advisable to do STD testing during a menstrual period. Avoid using vaginal creams, medicines, foams, tampons and lubricants, before seeing our Doctor. 

You will receive your STD test results via email (password protected). However, for review of STD test results, Regis medical suggests that most patients review in person for the results. 

After Your STD Test

Once your STD test is completed, here is what you can expect: 

How You’ll Receive Results

  • Fast turnaround: Most results are ready within 3–7 working days, depending on the type of test performed. 
  • Convenient delivery: Results will be sent securely (with password protection) via email or WhatsApp—whichever you prefer. This ensures you don’t need to make an extra trip unless necessary. 

What the Results Mean

  • Normal / Negative results: If your results indicate that everything is normal or negative, you will usually not need a follow-up consultation. You may simply continue your regular health checks or repeat testing as recommended. 
  • Abnormal / Positive results: If your results suggest an infection or any concern, our clinic will arrange a review. During this session, our doctor will explain your results in detail, discuss treatment options, and address any questions you may have. 

Confidentiality

  • We understand STD testing is sensitive. While we are not an anonymous HIV test clinic, your results are kept strictly confidential and are shared only with you. 
  • However, the laboratory and clinics are expected to submit basic non identifier statistical data to MOH in the event of a positive result for most STDs (exceptions include HIV and Hepatitis C)  

Next Steps & Ongoing Care

  • Treatment and prescriptions: If required, medication or further management will be provided during your review. 
  • Partner notification & support: Our doctors can guide you on how to discuss results with your partner(s). 
  • Repeat or follow-up testing: Some STDs may require retesting after treatment to confirm clearance. We’ll advise you on the right timeframe. 
  • Preventive care: If you’re at higher risk, we may recommend regular screenings, vaccinations (e.g., Hepatitis B, HPV), or lifestyle advice to help protect your health.

About PrEP & STD Monitoring

Do you prescribe PrEP?

No. We focus on monitoring and sexual health screening. If you need a PrEP prescription, we can point you in the right direction, but our role is to make sure you are safe while taking it, not to sell you medication.

You may continue to take your regular medication for chronic diseases (e.g. hypertension, cholesterol) but are to omit your diabetic medication until you have taken your breakfast.

I buy my PrEP from overseas, can I still use your monitoring service?

Yes. It does not matter where your medication comes from. What matters is that you are being monitored properly. Many of our patients obtain PrEP from various sources and use Regis Medical for their regular check-ups and screening.

How is this different from a regular STD test?

Our monitoring packages include metabolic and organ function blood work, kidney function, liver function, full blood count, lipid panel, HbA1c, bone profile, alongside the STI screening. This is important because PrEP affects your kidneys and bones over time, and these need to be tracked. A standard STD test at most clinics does not include these markers.

Do I need to fast before the tests?

The Annual Sexual Health Screen packages include lipid panel and HbA1c, which are more accurate with fasting (8–10 hours, water is fine). The PrEP Monitoring Programme quarterly visits do not require fasting unless your annual blood work is being done at that visit. Our staff will confirm when you book.

Is this suitable for women on PrEP?

Yes. Daily PrEP is effective and recommended for all genders. We offer monitoring for women on PrEP, with the option to include cervical screening and vaginal health testing through our women's packages. Your monitoring schedule will be tailored to your regimen and exposure profile at your initial consultation.

I am not on PrEP, can I still book a package?

Absolutely. The Annual Sexual Health Screen packages are designed for any sexually active adult who wants a comprehensive check. You do not need to be on PrEP to benefit from thorough sexual health and metabolic screening.

How confidential is this?

Completely. All consultations, results, and records are kept strictly private. We do not share information with employers, insurers, or family members without your explicit consent.

STD Tests Related

Can I choose which tests to do?
Yes. You can request specific individual tests or select one of our screening packages. Our doctor will also recommend tests based on your sexual history, symptoms, and timing of last exposure.
Do I need to fast?
No. Standard STD screening does not require fasting. If your doctor recommends additional blood tests such as cholesterol or glucose, you may be asked to fast for 8 to 10 hours. Our staff will let you know when you book.
How soon after exposure can I get tested?
It depends on the infection. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are detectable from about 2 weeks. HIV requires at least 28 days with the 4th generation test. Syphilis takes 3 to 6 weeks. Herpes antibody testing is most reliable after 12 weeks. See the window period table above for a full breakdown.
What if I test too early?
Testing during the window period may produce a false negative. If your exposure was recent, your doctor will advise on timing for a follow-up test. A single early negative does not rule out infection.
I would  like to see a female Doctor only, is it possible?
If you prefer a female Doctor to see you, please contact us beforehand to fix an appointment with our female Doctors. Otherwise, we may not be able to guarantee a female Doctor available during your visit.
How do I prepare for a STD test at Regis Medical? 
  • Bring along your personal documents (e.g. passport, IC etc.)
  • Bring along your past STD test documents from other healthcare providers (if applicable)
  • Abstain from sexual activity
  • Be completely honest with our Doctors. Our Doctors may ask you about your sexual history, medical history, and symptoms. Be completely honest with us so we can provide you with the best care promptly.
  • Relax and stay calm.
Can Regis Medical GP Clinics offer express STD tests? 
No. We do not offer express STD tests.
Can Regis Medical GP Clinics offer self STD tests? 
No. We do not offer self STD tests. STD tests are only done by our certified Doctors in clinic.
What happens during an STD test? 
The test may involve a physical examination, blood tests, urine tests, or swabs of the infected area. The type of test depends on the specific STD being tested for.
Are STD tests painful? 
Some tests, such as a swab, can cause mild discomfort, but most are not painful.
How long does it take to get the results of an STD test? 
The turnaround time for test results can vary, but most results are available within a few days to a week.
Can STDs be treated? 
Yes, many STDs can be treated with antibiotics or antiviral medications, but some, like herpes and HIV, have no cure. Early detection and treatment can help prevent complications and reduce the spread of the disease.
Can Regis Medical GP Clinic treat STDs?
Yes. We can treat certain STD conditions such as Herpes, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Chlamydia. For the other STD conditions, we can refer you to a specialist for treatments.
