Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and treatable, yet many people delay testing due to stigma or fear of judgment. At Medex Neo Clinic in Naxal, Kathmandu, we provide confidential, fast, and professional STD testing for all 8+ major infections. Early detection means easy treatment and protection for you and your partners. This comprehensive guide explains which STDs we test, our testing process, and why Medex is your best choice for private STD testing in Nepal.

Which STDs Does Medex Test For?

We test for 8+ major sexually transmitted infections using advanced laboratory methods. Early detection allows for simple, effective treatment before complications develop.

1. Chlamydia & Gonorrhea

The two most common bacterial STIs. Often asymptomatic, especially in women. Testing is simple — urine or swab sample. Treatment with antibiotics is highly effective if caught early.

2. Syphilis

A bacterial infection that progresses through stages if untreated. Easily curable with antibiotics when caught early. We perform RPR (rapid plasma reagin) testing for accurate detection.

3. HIV

We offer 4th generation HIV testing with detection as early as 18 days post-exposure. Early detection allows for immediate ART (antiretroviral therapy), leading to undetectable, untransmittable status.

4. Hepatitis B & C

Viral infections affecting the liver. Hepatitis B is vaccine-preventable and treatable. Hepatitis C is curable with modern medications. Testing is blood-based and rapid.

5. Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2)

Viral infections causing painful sores. While not curable, they are highly manageable with antiviral medications. Serological testing identifies active or past infection.

6. Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

The virus responsible for certain cancers and genital warts. Vaccines are available for prevention. Testing helps determine risk and guides preventive care decisions.

7. Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma

Bacterial infections increasingly recognized as causes of urethritis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatable with specific antibiotics once identified.

8. Trichomonas

A parasitic infection causing discharge and discomfort. Easily curable with a single antibiotic dose. Testing via urine or swab is quick and reliable.
