Personal advice

STI Test advisor

Find out in 2 minutes which STI tests fit your situation. The advisor asks targeted questions and gives an evidence-based recommendation following Dutch guidelines, fully anonymous.

Fully anonymous

Your answers are not stored and not linked to your order.

Based on guidelines

Recommendations follow NHG-Standard 'The STI consultation' (M82), RIVM-LCI guidelines and the Multidisciplinary STI Guideline (2022). See sources below.

Personal advice

We factor in gender, risk factors, symptoms and timing after contact.

Done in 2 minutes

Short wizard with 6 to 8 questions. Instant clear recommendation.

When should you test?

STI testing makes sense in several scenarios. Not sure? Run the advisor for concrete guidance.

  • After unprotected sexual contact with a new or changing partner
  • When you have symptoms such as discharge, painful urination or skin issues
  • Before starting a new relationship (getting tested together)
  • Periodically if you belong to a risk group (e.g. MSM or sex work)
  • After a needlestick or blood contact incident
  • When a partner tests positive

About the window period

An STI isn't always immediately detectable. The window period is the time between infection and when a test can reliably confirm it.

For HIV, a 4th-generation test is 99% reliable after 6 weeks, and a negative result after 12 weeks rules out infection (RIVM-LCI). For syphilis we advise a retest at 12 weeks on initial suspicion. For chlamydia and gonorrhoea a urine test or swab is needed via GP or GGD — we do not offer these.

Evidence base

Guidelines this advice rests on

We use the current Dutch guidelines as the basis for every recommendation. Below you'll find the source and scope per topic.

  • NHG-Standaard 'Het soa-consult' (M82)
  • RIVM-LCI Hiv-infectie
  • RIVM-LCI Syfilis
  • RIVM-LCI Hepatitis B
  • RIVM-LCI Hepatitis C
  • RIVM-LCI Herpessimplexvirusinfecties
  • Multidisciplinaire Richtlijn Soa (2022)
