Recognize the Warning Signs
- Note Any Unusual Symptoms
Pay attention to genital itching, unusual discharge, sores, bumps, or pain during urination or intercourse. Record when each symptom began and its severity. Accurate dates guide test selection. - Pause Sexual Activity Immediately
To prevent potential spread, abstain from sexual contact until you receive test results and clear treatment guidance. Inform partners discreetly so they can also seek testing. - Avoid Self‑Diagnosis with Over‑the‑Counter Creams
While topical antifungals or antiseptics may relieve itch or irritation temporarily, they often mask symptoms and delay accurate diagnosis. Trust professional lab tests instead. - Practice Immediate Hygiene Measures
Gently wash the affected area with a mild, unscented cleanser and pat dry. Avoid scrubbing or harsh soaps that can worsen irritation. - Keep a Symptom Diary
Log any fever, rash spread, or systemic signs (fatigue, swollen lymph nodes). This record becomes invaluable when reviewing results with your clinician.
Recognizing and documenting your symptoms precisely sets the stage for accurate, targeted testing—your first defense against complications.

Prepare for Your STD Test
- Fast or Avoid Urination Briefly
For urine‑based tests (chlamydia, gonorrhea, UTI), avoid urinating for one hour before sample collection to ensure adequate concentration. - Keep Medications Handy
Bring any current prescriptions or supplement lists to your nurse or doctor—some medications can affect test accuracy. - Have Identification Ready
Your clinician needs to verify identity for confidentiality and accurate record‑keeping. Keep your passport or hotel ID in view. - Clear a Private Space
Set aside a bathroom or enclosed area for sample collection. Trishnanda clinicians provide all sterile supplies—just ensure privacy. - Confirm Any Allergies
Inform your clinician if you are allergic to latex or certain antiseptics. We carry latex‑free gloves and alternative skin cleansers on every visit.
By taking these simple prep steps, you guarantee a smooth, dignified testing experience—without surprises.
What To Do After Your STD Test
- Follow Up on Your Results
Expect a secure message within 4–8 hours. Review each finding carefully with your Trishnanda doctor. Ask questions: For example, “What does a low CD4 count indicate?” or “How quickly can I start treatment for a positive chlamydia result?” - Begin Prescribed Treatment Promptly
If your test is positive, Trishnanda offers in‑villa antibiotic prescriptions (for bacterial STDs) or antiviral regimens (for herpes, HPV) delivered directly by our nurse or doctor. Completing the full course as directed is vital. - Notify and Encourage Partners to Test
Contact recent sexual partners to inform them of potential exposure. Partner treatment prevents reinfection and broader transmission. - Schedule a Follow‑Up Test
For certain STDs—like syphilis or HIV—repeat testing after treatment completion and at 3‑month intervals ensures clearance. Book your return visit before leaving Bali. - Maintain Confidential Records
Securely save your digital reports and invoices for travel insurance claims or future reference. Trishnanda provides ICD‑coded documentation to facilitate reimbursement.
Prompt follow‑up care and partner notification seal the loop on safe, responsible STD management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after exposure should I test?

Yes. Our rapid tests deliver results in hours. If positive, you can start treatment with us on the same or next visit.
Will my results remain confidential?
Absolutely. Trishnanda adheres to strict privacy protocols: all records are encrypted, and no data is shared without your consent.
What if I’m asymptomatic—should I still test?
Yes. Asymptomatic infections like chlamydia, HPV, or UTI can cause long‑term damage. Annual screening is recommended for anyone sexually active.
