Do STI tests check for oral STIs?
Yes, STI tests in Canada do check for STIs that may present in some people as oral symptoms. However, we should note that Felix only tests for STIs, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomniasis, in your genital areas.
Many people that contract STIs won’t experience any symptoms, or the symptoms that they do experience may be so mild that they go unnoticed.
This is why it’s essential to get periodic STI testing, if you’re at risk of exposure, or you’ve experienced STIs in the past. Most practitioners recommend getting tested every at least once a year to identify any potential exposures.
