STD Tests in Phuket

Hi!

I have a question, I want to know if this really is true. I have a friend that has his girlfriend down in Phuket and she claims she went to the big hospital there and tested herself for STD, and say that she got answer in 1 hour for Syphilis and Clamydia and 1 week for HIV. So I wonder if this can be true? Can they really test someone in Phuket and have the answer for you in about 1 hour time??? In such case, do they have som brand new tecnique there that we don't have hear in Sweden for an example where I live, here it takes about 1 week for all STD and 2 weeks for HIV. My friend doesn't know if she lies to him, so I'm hoping that some of you guys that lives in Phuket or go there often can help me out.

cheers

The simple answer is no, She could get tested for Gonnerea by taking a urine test and get the results in about an hour, But it takes at least 2 weeks to get tested for Chlamydia (Swab taken) in Thai hospitals... Unfortunatly I found out the hard way

I am sure you can get results for Hiv and Syphilis though, As they are taking through a blood test and I would say you can get them back pretty quickly, But the Chlamydia one is a no for sure...

I get one done everytime Im there.....Does that make me a bad person?

Usually it takes one day from blood drawn to results.

They test for 4 things, I believe.

HIV
Syphillis
Hepatitis; one or the other or both, cant remember...


I use Dr.Wattani Clinic on Soi Dr.Wattani from Beach Road.

900 Bath.

Hi Viperman,

I think the waiting time for the HIV analysis is only one week in Sweden, it took only one week for me in Gothenburg anyway and I know it's possible to have the results within an hour but that's only a 90% sure kinda result... During my last trip the girl I was with went out and came back after about 2 hours and showed me a a piece of paper on which I could read her nickname and that she was HIV negative plus some other thing I don't remember now but when it comes to urin test based analysis I doubt it can be done within the hour as usually urin is tested for bacteria and those need to grow which doesn't happen in an hour while blood analysis in some cases it's about testing positive/negative against a indicator agent. I could also see they had taken blood from her arm.

No urine tests can be checked instantly.. Only takes a few minutes but they will only show up Gonnerea in most cases AFASK.. The swab takes a little bit longer though..

One thing I forgot to mention Viperman... I never thought of this at the time but Girls may be different? As the doctor looks inside them and can check easily for signs of Infection/Bacteria etc.. So they may not need to take the test.. Obviously the swab is the only 100% way of knowing though, So she might be telling the truth, If the doctor didnt see anything he probably didnt bother taking the swab...

Hi!

Thanx, I now think the girl wasn't lying, but my friend will ask for a paper from her doctor so then it all will be clear.

Cheers

555555555 I agree some urin based test may give immediate results as well but only if the test involves a reaction with something else such as energy or an indicator unless the sample preparation is time costy that is. Hehehe in my case when the good doc performed the painful swab thingie she actually looked at the sample under a microscope and she told me right away I was clear from Gonorrhea thou she ordered a full urin analysis which I had to wait for a week for the results Boy I felt good when I was clear from everything...

55555555 wasn't she your friend's girlfriend? This is my personal opinion thou... It's not worth to gamble with your life and no matter how many pieces of papers any girl show you or "your friend" it's way better to be safe than sorry... Good luck man!

Cheers
