Tested and Sure: The Private STI Screening Guide for Men in Bangkok

What's inside

What's inside the guide

• The window-period table: how long to wait after a possible exposure before each test can be trusted, about 2 weeks for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, 45 to 90 days for a conclusive HIV result on a 4th-generation test, up to 12 weeks for syphilis and hepatitis B, and up to about 6 months for a conclusive hepatitis C antibody result, so you never trust a false negative taken too soon.
• The full men's panel, marker by marker: HIV 4th-gen, syphilis (RPR/TPHA), chlamydia and gonorrhoea by urine PCR plus throat or rectal swabs where relevant, hepatitis B and C, and herpes, with a plain-English note on which ones you can skip.
• Real 2026 Bangkok pricing: what a rapid HIV test, a basic 4-marker check and a complete screen cost, what a confirmatory test adds, and where a cheap test quietly cuts corners.
• Cleared with one course versus managed for life: the infections cleared with a single course of treatment, and the ones that are controlled rather than cured, plus what that ongoing care actually involves.
• The discreet visit, step by step: which sample types are taken (urine, blood, swab), what the doctor will and will not ask, how quickly results come back, and how your data is protected under Thai PDPA.
