What is STD testing?
STD (sexually transmitted disease) testing, also called STI testing, checks for infections that can pass between partners during sex. Many of these infections cause no symptoms, so testing is the reliable way to know. At Eunice Women's Clinic, STD testing is part of the clinic's women's disease care and is done by Dr. Eun Mi-na, a female OB-GYN who consults in English.
Depending on your situation, testing may look for:
- Chlamydia and gonorrhea
- Trichomoniasis, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma
- Genital herpes and HPV
- Common vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection
- Blood-borne infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis, when the doctor recommends them
Who should get tested?
- Anyone with a new sexual partner or more than one partner
- Anyone whose partner has been diagnosed with an STD
- Women with unusual discharge, itching, burning, sores, pelvic pain or bleeding after sex
- Women planning pregnancy or who have just learned they are pregnant
- Anyone who wants peace of mind after unprotected sex
How does STD testing work at the clinic?
- Private talk: the doctor asks about symptoms, timing of possible exposure, and past infections. Your answers stay confidential.
- Exam: a pelvic exam checks the vagina and cervix for discharge, redness or sores.
- Swab: a small sample is taken from the vagina or cervix. One swab can often be used for a panel of several infections.
- Blood test if needed: for hepatitis or other blood-borne infections.
- Treatment plan: if symptoms suggest a common infection, the doctor may start treatment on the same day. Otherwise she waits for the results.
How should I prepare for STD testing?
- If possible, avoid sex, vaginal medicines and douching for about 24–48 hours before the test.
- Testing too soon after exposure can miss an infection. Tell the doctor the date of the possible exposure so she can advise on timing.
- You can be tested during light bleeding, but tell the clinic if you are on your period.
When will I get my results?
Results usually come within a few days; the clinic will tell you how you will receive them. If a result is positive, the doctor explains treatment and whether your partner should also be tested and treated.
How much does STD testing cost in Seoul?

Frequently asked questions
Is STD testing confidential?
Yes. Your medical information is protected under Korean law. Results are shared with you. If you need a document for someone else, such as an insurer, you request it yourself.
Can I get tested if I have no symptoms?
Yes. Many STDs cause no symptoms, so testing after a new partner or unprotected sex is reasonable. Tests done without symptoms may not be covered by NHIS, so ask for the price first.
Does my partner need to be tested too?
If you test positive for an infection such as chlamydia, gonorrhea or trichomoniasis, your partner usually needs testing and treatment too, to avoid passing the infection back. Men can visit a urology clinic.
Can I be treated on the same day?
Sometimes. If the exam strongly suggests a common infection, the doctor may prescribe treatment on the day. For other infections, she waits for results so the treatment matches the cause.
How soon after exposure should I test?
Some infections take days to weeks to show on tests. Tell the doctor when the exposure happened. She may test now and suggest a repeat test later. Blood tests for hepatitis may need a longer window than swab tests.
