Sexually transmitted diseases

The GetChecked® Risk 1 profile is a comprehensive test designed for the early detection of two common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), chlamydia and gonorrhea. Swabs or self-swabs from the pharynx, anus, urethra or vagina are collected to detect a possible infection with these bacteria. As these STIs are often asymptomatic, this screening also allows symptom-free people to know their status and initiate early treatment if a test is positive.

Please note: For meaningful test results, compliance with the recommended diagnostic window after a possible risk contact is crucial. The diagnostic window describes the period of time between an infection and the earliest possible time at which an infection is detectable. Performing tests before the end of this period can lead to an infection not being reliably detected. Detailed information on the specific diagnostic gap of the respective tests can be found in the analyses.

This profile was created in collaboration with PD Dr. Karoline Aebi-Popp and the company GetChecked. Further information can be found on the website: https://www.get-checked.ch/.

The Get Checked® Risk 1 profile focuses on two of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs): chlamydia and gonorrhea. This screening is particularly recommended for:

• Individuals who have had specific risk contact and want targeted screening.
• People who have symptoms that could indicate an infection with chlamydia or gonorrhea.
• Sexual partners of people who have tested positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea and want to safeguard their own health situation.

For a broader STI screening, which includes additional tests for HIV and syphilis, we recommend the extended GetChecked® Screening. This is indicated if you want a comprehensive overview of your own STI status or if you have risk factors for several STIs.

We will do everything we can to provide you with your results as quickly as possible. As a rule, you will receive your result within 3 to 4 weeks from the day the test is carried out.

The Get Checked® Risk 2 profile is aimed at people looking for a reliable and comprehensive test for HIV and syphilis, two serious sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that are often asymptomatic and can have serious health consequences if left undetected. The included VDRL test serves as an additional confirmatory test for a positive syphilis result. This test kit is an essential choice for a reliable diagnosis in order to initiate appropriate steps for treatment and prevention of further transmission at an early stage.

The Get Checked® Risk 2 profile provides comprehensive screening for HIV and syphilis, two serious sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. This profile also includes a VDRL test to confirm a syphilis diagnosis, if necessary. It is especially recommended for:

• Individuals who have had unprotected sex with changing partners.
• People with previous or existing STIs to check the risk of co-infection.
• People who have symptoms that could indicate HIV or syphilis, or if a partner has tested positive.
• People who wish to have their STI status checked regularly, especially if they live or work in an environment with an increased risk of STIs.

The Risk 2 profile is an important step in maintaining your sexual health and early detection of infections that may progress without clear symptoms. For people who want to protect themselves against a wide range of STIs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, we recommend upgrading to the full GetChecked® Screening.

The GetChecked® Screening profile is a comprehensive testing package for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) designed for both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. Asymptomatic screening is particularly important as many STIs cause no obvious symptoms and can therefore go undetected. Early detection and treatment are essential to reduce the risk of HIV transmission and avoid potential long-term health damage. Asymptomatic screening:
Why: Many STIs are asymptomatic and cause no visible symptoms. If left untreated, they can increase the risk of HIV infection and lead to long-term health consequences.
What is tested: In asymptomatic individuals, samples from the vagina/urethra, pharynx and anus are analyzed for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea). A blood sample is tested for HIV, Treponema pallidum IgG/IgM (syphilis), and the VDRL test is used if the syphilis result is positive.
Please note: For meaningful test results, compliance with the recommended diagnostic window after a possible risk contact is crucial. The diagnostic window describes the period of time between an infection and the earliest possible time at which an infection is detectable. Performing tests before the end of this period can lead to an infection not being reliably detected. Detailed information on the specific diagnostic gap of the respective tests can be found in the analyses.

• Persons with a new sexual partner or a change of partner.
• People who have had unprotected sexual intercourse.
• People seeking reassurance about their STI status, especially before starting a new sexual relationship.
• People who are asymptomatic but may still be at risk of STIs.
