How STI testing works in Wagga Wagga

1. Book a consult. Choose a phone or video appointment; same-day appointments are usually available, 9am to 7pm Sydney time, 7 days.
2. Test locally. The doctor sends an electronic pathology request to your phone. Take it to any collection centre in Wagga Wagga. Most STI tests are a urine sample, a self-collected swab and/or a blood test.
3. Get results and treatment. We text you when results are in (usually 1 to 3 business days) and book a follow-up. If treatment is needed, an eScript goes to your phone for any pharmacy.

Pathology collection in Wagga Wagga

Your electronic pathology request from our doctor works at any approved collection centre, so pick the one closest to home or work:

• Laverty Pathology: 135 Peter Street, Wagga Wagga (plus other Laverty centres around the city) (locations)

Opening hours change, so check the provider's page before you go.

HIV and STD testing in Wagga Wagga

An HIV test is a simple blood test, and it's part of a standard STI (STD) check when it's relevant to you. Your doctor can put all your tests, including throat and anal swabs where relevant, on one pathology request, so you can do them in a single visit to a Laverty centre. For eligible Medicare card holders the consult is bulk billed and standard tests are usually covered, so there's usually no out-of-pocket cost. See what a full STI check includes.

When you need to be seen in person

Some care can't be done by telehealth, such as an examination, an injection (the usual treatment for gonorrhoea and syphilis) or specialist care. The public Wagga Wagga Sexual Health and Hepatitis Treatment Service is at the Brookong Centre, 260-280 Edward Street, phone (02) 5943 2830, Tuesday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm. It's free, doesn't need a Medicare card, needs an appointment, and provides PEP. Our doctor will tell you if you need this and help arrange it.
