People who practise unsafe sex and\/or have multiple partners are at risk of an STD. STDs are not always associated with symptoms or complaints. This means that you can have an STD without noticing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The most common bacterial STDs are chlamydia and gonorrhoea. They can be identified with a swab taken from the throat, urine, anus and vagina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Syphilis and STDs that are transmitted by a virus like HIV and hepatitis are confirmed by a blood test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-std-test-and-treatment\"><br>STD test and treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As STDs are transmitted through unsafe sexual contact just like HIV, it is advisable to test regularly for STDs during HIV treatment. You can have an STD without showing symptoms. For this reason, it is important to test regularly. Most STDs can be treated easily, but there can be severe consequences if you do not treat them promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"timeline-block block normal-timeline \" >\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                    <!-- Introduction text -->\n            <div class=\"wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"col-12\">\n                                            <h2>Taking an STD test<\/h2>\n                                                        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <!-- \/\/ Introduction text -->\n                <div class=\"wrapper history-items \">\n                                    <!-- History item -->\n                                                <div class=\"col-12  \">\n                            <div class=\"history-item \">\n                                <div class=\"year\">\n                                    <h3>Making an appointment<\/h3>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"history-content\">\n                                                                        <p>Make an appointment (anonymously if desired) by calling +31 (0)88 0100 944.
