Patient Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers regarding our confidential testing protocol in Kathmandu.

Is STD testing confidential in Kathmandu at Apollo Diagnostic Center?

Yes. We provide 100% confidential and anonymous STD testing in Kathmandu. Your results are never shared with third parties and are delivered securely via password-protected PDF directly to your email or WhatsApp.

How soon after exposure should I get an STD test?

With our advanced NAAT/PCR technology, the earliest detection window for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea is 5 to 7 days post-exposure. For conclusive results, we recommend testing 14 days after a high-risk encounter. HIV 4th Gen can detect exposure from 18 to 45 days, while Syphilis typically requires 3 to 6 weeks.

Do I need a blood test or painful swab for STD screening?

Not necessarily. For men, our most accurate NAAT tests for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma only require a simple, painless first-catch urine sample. For blood-borne infections like HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes, and Syphilis, a quick standard blood draw is performed.

How much does a full STD test cost in Nepal?

STD test prices at our NPHL 'A' Grade lab in Kathmandu range from Rs 500 for basic rapid screening (HIV, VDRL, HBsAg) to Rs 9,400 for a comprehensive Triple STD NAAT Combo (testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Ureaplasma simultaneously).
