They concluded that whilst “efforts are being made to improve prevention and control measures” for infections like viral Hepatitis, the amount of people receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV remains “a concern”.

Symptoms of an STD

You may experience few to no symptoms in the early stages of an STI infection. As such, those infected may be unaware of the damage being done to their body, which could ultimately lead to infertility or other health complications. Without being tested, it is extremely difficult to ascertain which STI you have contracted. When symptoms are present, they can often consist of:

• Burning sensations or pain when urinating
• Irregular bleeding (for example in between periods for women)
• Unusual discharge
• Blemishes such as cuts, sores, ulcers, blisters or any other breaks in the continuation of skin
• Pain during or after intercourse (or upon ejaculation)
• Itching, rashes, redness, swollen glands or general discomfort around the genital or rectal area.

Better2Know’s Testing Process

Many of Better2Know’s screens or tests in Oman require a minimum incubation period to ensure you are eligible for testing. This is the time between potential exposure and your Better2Know test or screen. Blood, urine and/or swab samples will be collected at your private appointment and sent to our fully certified, central laboratory for fast, accurate analysis.

Your results will be available no later than five working days after your samples have arrived at Better2Know’s accredited laboratory. Our experienced sexual health advisors will contact you, unless specified otherwise, to report your results as soon as they are all ready.

In the meantime, we will publish your results to Better2Know’s secure Patient Area as they become available. This online service can be accessed via our website using the login details your advisor will send you upon processing your booking.

The sexual health legislation in Oman can be complex and Better2Know’s private STI testing services adhere to the national legislation. You may, therefore, be required to provide a form of personal identification at your private appointment. If you have any concerns about your sexual health, it is important to get tested as soon as possible. Early access to treatment will benefit your sexual health in the long term.
