Can an STD be detected from a blood test?
Most STDs can be tested through a simple blood test and urine sample. At the Cosmocare Clinic, our experienced doctors can check for the following STDs:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhoea
- Mycoplasma Genitalium
- Syphilis
- Herpes
- HIV
- Hepatitis
In some cases, blood tests aren’t as accurate as other forms of testing. It may also take a month or longer after being exposed to certain STDs for blood tests to be reliable. For example, if HIV is contracted, it can take up to 28 days to a few months for tests to detect the infection.
