The answer is relatively simple. You can get an STI test done by your GP or at a Sexual Health Centre (CSG) of the nearest Public Health Service (GGD). It&#8217;s good to know: the GGD doesn&#8217;t disclose your visit to anyone, not even to your insurance company. Each visit is anonymous. By the way, nowadays it&#8217;s also possible to do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easly.nl\/en\/shop\/?_categories=std\">home test<\/a> in your own trusted environment.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-42a9c4d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"42a9c4d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c34a4e6\" data-id=\"c34a4e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-039f850 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"039f850\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which test is needed can vary depending on the STI. Sometimes the doctor will do an external or internal examination. The problem area is then examined. In addition, a sample can be taken, which is then examined in a laboratory. For example, a swab may be taken, where the doctor or you use a cotton swab to take a sample in your vagina or anus. Sometimes you have to submit some urine or blood is taken. The presence of the bacteria or virus that causes the STI can then be detected in the laboratory. Are you doing a home test? In that case, you can take a sample yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-055846f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"055846f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-98f05fc\" data-id=\"98f05fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c264f4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c264f4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does it take to get the result of an STI test?
