Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Screening and Treatment Singapore

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also referred to as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), can affect women even without noticeable symptoms. Early and regular screening is an important part of preventive healthcare as it protects reproductive health, prevents long-term complications, and provides reassurance.

Within our medical group — including Asimont Clinic, Motherlove, Motherlove GP, and our dedicated gynaecology specialist clinic — we provide confidential and evidence-based STI testing and treatment. Our care is delivered in a private, non-judgmental setting designed to support your wellbeing with respect and clarity.

Understanding The Condition

Why STI Screening Is Important For Women

Many STIs show no symptoms, especially in women, yet may lead to long-term health issues such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, or increased risk of cervical cancer. Regular screening supports early detection and timely treatment. It also ensures peace of mind when entering or maintaining relationships.

Proactive Testing to Protect Your Sexual and Reproductive Health

When You Should Consider STI Screening?

You may benefit from STI screening if:

You are sexually active

Regular screening is part of routine care, even without symptoms.

You’ve never done an STI screen before

Baseline testing helps establish a clear starting point for your health.

You have a new or multiple sexual partners

Increased partner count raises the risk of undetected infections.

You’ve had unprotected sex

Barrier-free contact increases the chance of transmission.

You’ve experienced symptoms

Discharge, pain, bleeding after sex, or itching may signal infection.

You suspect your partner had other sexual contact

Partner exposure can put you at risk, even without visible symptoms.

Infections We Commonly Screen For During STI Evaluation

Common STIs That Can Affect Women

Some of the most common sexually transmitted infections screened at our affiliated clinics include:

A bacterial infection that often presents with no symptoms but can affect fertility if left untreated.

Gonorrhoea

Another silent bacterial infection that may cause pelvic pain, discharge, or complications if unaddressed.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

Syphilis

A bacterial infection that progresses in stages and may cause serious complications if untreated.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 & HSV-2)

Causes painful blisters or sores; may remain dormant and reactivate over time.
