Testing for Venereal Disease

Whilst conclusive sexual health data can be somewhat difficult to obtain in certain Middle Eastern nations, the threat of venereal disease in the area remains ubiquitous. What we do know about the region is that almost 1 in 10 women are infected with the Herpes virus – the figures don’t improve much for men, either – while in 2016, around 11,000 AIDS related deaths were estimated throughout North West Africa and the Middle East. Perhaps the most pressing statistic, however, is that more than 1 million STIs are acquired around the world every single day.

Early detection and intervention are crucial factors in the fight against venereal disease, hence the significance of regular testing. With outstanding private facilities in cities such as Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Manama and Muscat, Better2Know provides same or next day appointments in major locations across the Middle East.

If you are concerned about Venereal Disease, or anything else related to your sexual health, contact our experienced Patient Services team on the telephone number above. Our welcoming staff are on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer your questions and organise your test.

Better2Know in the Middle East

Throughout the Middle East, Better2Know provides comprehensive testing for a wide variety of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, and many more. Tests can be performed individually, or as part of bespoke screens comprising tests for multiple infections. Your peace of mind is our priority, and we will make sure that you get the most appropriate test or screen at the closest possible location.

At your confidential appointment, your samples will be collected by a qualified clinician, before being sent for analysis at one of our certified laboratories. Results are available within one to five working days of your sample’s arrival at the lab, depending on your selected test or screen.

When all your results are ready, we will contact you via your preference of telephone call, email or SMS. In the meantime, you can check the progress of your results by logging into the secure patient area of our website.

Despite the region’s diversity and cosmopolitan nature, the Middle East’s sexual health legislation has its complexities. Our discreet tests and screens are concurrent with national guidelines and, as a result, personal identification may be required at your appointment. Remember, it is always advisable to be aware of the respective state’s regulations prior to travelling.
