CLICK AND COLLECT - STI/BBV Screening Questionnaire

Thank you for your interest in Click and Collect STI/BBV testing through SHQ.

STI - this tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, the two most common sexually transmitted infections in our community. Click here for more information. These can be tested using: 
     Urine sample
- you pee in a jar (for people who use their penis for sex)
     Vaginal swab
- you insert a cotton swab inside vagina (for people who use their vagina for sex)
     Anal swab
- you insert a cotton swab inside anus (for people who use their anus for sex)
     Throat swab - you insert a cotton swab inside your mouth (for people who use their mouth for sex)

BBV - this tests for HIV, Hepatitis B (which are viral infections transmitted through blood) and Syphilis (which is a bacterial infection transmitted through blood, sex and contact with skin sores). Testing for these 3 infections will require a blood test. Click here for information about HIV/Hep B, and here for information about syphilis.

To complete your testing, you can attend an SHQ clinic, or we can provide you with a pathology referral form to take to your nearest pathology provider, where your samples will be collected. Results are usually available within one week, and you will be notified via your nominated contact method.

Please note, this service is for asymptomatic (no symptoms) testing only. If you are experiencing symptoms, you will need to arrange an appointment with a doctor for further assessment. Please contact our Sexual Health Helpline on 9227 6178 (Mon–Fri, 10am–4pm) for further assistance.

This form should take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

Getting Started

No problem, we can organise this for you! There is a cost of $35 for this service.
First we need to ask you a few personal questions to determine the best type of test and ensure we have a secure way of informing you of the results. 

Feel free to read SHQ Privacy Policy to learn more about how we use your information and keep it safe. 

PLEASE NOTE: Positive STI or BBV results are routinely and confidentially reported to the WA Health Department, as required by law

No problem, we understand.

If you'd prefer to book an appointment to see a clinician, you can do so online or by calling 9227 6177.
You can also find more information and resources on our website or by calling the Sexual Health Helpline on 9227 6178.

About You

If you don’t have Medicare, please note that there may be additional costs for testing charged by the pathology provider (separate from SHQ). We recommend discussing these fees with the provider prior to any testing. 

If you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim some reimbursement. Please check with your insurer beforehand.

If you have any questions, please contact the Sexual Health Helpline on 9227 6178.

An Individual Health Identifier (IHI) is your digital health profile, and it allows our doctors to send electronic prescriptions straight to your phone/email if required. Further information can be found here.

Because you are under 16, you will need to have a quick chat with an SHQ clinician before we can organise the test/s for you. 

No problem, we understand.

Sexual History

The following questions relate to your STI and/or BBV test.

The answers you provide will help us determine the most appropriate tests for you.

Some STIs and blood-borne viruses can take a little while to show up on a test. If you’ve had sex in the last 2 weeks (for STI tests) or last 3 months (for BBV tests) that you’re worried about, it’s a good idea to come back for another test later, even if these results are negative.

STI Testing

For example, discharge from penis/vagina, painful sex, sores/lumps/bumps around the genital area, burning or stinging wee, etc.

Please note, the Click and Collect service is for asymptomatic (no symptoms) testing only.

SHQ will make 3 attempts to reach you over the phone. If we are unable to reach you after 3 attempts, we will send you a message asking you to call us.

Click and Collect Payment and Confirmation

You will need to attend during clinic opening hours.

There is approximately a 2 business day turnaround time between form submission and sample kits being ready for collection. Please do not attend beforehand without prior notification, as you may be asked to wait.

Please note that any kits not collected within 2 weeks will be discarded and a new request form will be required after this time.
If you require testing more urgently, please consider selecting electronic pathology form delivery from the options above. Electronic forms can often be delivered to you more quickly than a clinic site collection kit.
