STD & HIV Testing
TAFx provides a discreet and efficient way to get tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV. This service is available to anyone who wants a hassle-free testing experience without the need for a consultation.
Who Should Consider STD & HIV Testing?
Anyone looking for lab testing—whether for peace of mind, routine health checks, or follow-up screenings—can use this service. It is suitable for individuals who prefer to get tested without a doctor’s consultation, those who undergo regular STI check-ups, or anyone who has had a recent high-risk encounter.
This service also supports those on HIV PrEP who require routine testing, individuals needing confirmation that a past infection has cleared, and those with a partner diagnosed with an STI. Additionally, it is useful for people who need lab results for a doctor’s review or require tests before starting HIV PEP or PrEP.
Testing Options
TAFx uses modern diagnostic methods, including Multiplex Real-Time PCR Testing, which detects multiple STIs from a single sample for quicker and more comprehensive results. For those needing immediate answers, Rapid HIV & Syphilis Tests provide results within minutes.
