When should you get tested?
If you have had unprotected sex, it is recommended to take a test for sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia is the most widespread venereal disease in Norway, while the spread of gonorrhea is also increasing. Both chlamydia and gonorrhea rarely cause symptoms – many are therefore infected without knowing it, which in turn increases the risk of infecting others. It is therefore important to get tested, despite the fact that you do not feel any symptoms.

Venereal diseases – symptoms and treatment
A venereal disease – also called venereal disease, sexually transmitted disease or infection – is a group of infectious diseases that are transmitted sexually, either through vaginal intercourse, anally or orally. The infection occurs via contact between skin and mucous membranes in the mouth, genitals and intestines, or sometimes via blood. The infection can be caused by bacteria, viruses, mites and lice.
STDs are among the most common infections in the world, and there is effective treatment for most of them. They are easily contagious as you are often completely without symptoms and signs of infection for a long time, and thus often infect others without being aware of it.

Course of treatment
Chlamydia infection is treated with a course of antibiotics for 7 days. It is important that you take the entire course even if you feel better after a few days, then there is a risk that the infection will flare up again if you do not complete the course and that the bacteria will become resistant to the antibiotic (do not respond to the treatment).
Standard treatment for gonorrhea is antibiotics as a single dose. This is injected into the gluteal muscle. After treatment, the patient is observed for 30 minutes. The vast majority will tolerate the treatment well without significant discomfort. Due to increasing resistance, retesting is done 2 weeks after treatment to check whether the treatment was correct. Patients must not have unprotected sex during this period.
Treatment for both chlamydia and gonorrhea are free. When it comes to the injection for gonorrhea, you can choose to book an appointment with your GP yourself or for free at, for example, Sex og Samfunn, Olafiaklinikken or other health centres. You can also book an appointment at one of our clinics for NOK 69,–.
