Organisation and Procedure

How are the procedures of the STD Check-Up organized?

On the day of investigation, primarily, a physician will talk to you about your personal situation, possible ways of getting infected, individual risks, symptoms and possible measures of precaution.

Afterwards, a physical investigation will be done, smears and a blood sample will be taken.

Approximately one week later, the diagnostic findings will be discussed with you. If a treatment should be necessary, this will be initiated. You will receive a written report on the diagnostic findings.
