STD screening in Carindale, private and judgement-free.
STD screening in Carindale gives you private testing and treatment with one of our GPs. Appointments are confidential and judgement-free, so you can ask anything you need to.
The STDs we screen for and treat
Knowing a little about the most common STDs can make screening feel less daunting. Chlamydia is the most common in Australia, especially in people under 30, and usually has no symptoms. Gonorrhoea and syphilis have both increased in recent years. Herpes and genital warts are common skin infections, and HIV and hepatitis B are less common but important to detect early.
At Carindale Doctors, your GP will recommend the right screening based on your history and any symptoms. Most bacterial infections, such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis, are cured with antibiotics. Viral infections such as herpes, HIV and hepatitis B can’t always be cured, but they can be managed very effectively with modern treatment.
In short: Carindale Doctors offers private, judgement-free STD screening inside Westfield Carindale for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis and other infections. Most bacterial STDs are cured with antibiotics, and viral infections are well managed. Pathology is often bulk billed, and children 16 and under are bulk billed.

STD myths we often hear
These myths can stop people from getting tested:
- "I'd know if I had one": many STDs have no symptoms.
- "Only some people get STDs": anyone who is sexually active can get one.
- "A Pap test checks for STDs": cervical screening doesn't test for most STDs.
- "Once treated, I can't get it again": reinfection is common without partner treatment.
Regular screening is the simplest way to know your status.
