Protect Your Health Through Regular STD Screening

Finding time to catch up with friends with our hectic schedule is a good reminder that we all have a lot going on — looking after our health often takes a back seat without us realising it.

Regular STD screening is one of those things that is easy to put off but essential for peace of mind.
A few things worth knowing:
• Many STIs do not cause obvious symptoms, so you may not know without getting tested.
• Screening is straightforward and can be done at a GP clinic.
• It is relevant for anyone who is or has been in a relationship, not just those with open relationships or multiple partners.

Taking that first step to get checked is simple. See a GP.

A Basic Std Screening is priced at SGD 80, which covers tests for HIV, syphilis & Hepatitis B

Low Testosterone: Recognising the Signs and Understanding Your Options
Testosterone levels naturally decline as men get older, and for some, this drop may reach a level that affects how they feel day-to-day. It is more common than many realise.

Some signs that may be associated with low testosterone:
• Persistent tiredness or low energy that doesn't improve with rest
• Noticeable drop in motivation or mood changes
• Difficulty concentrating or a sense of "brain fog"
• Reduced muscle mass or increased body fat despite no major lifestyle changes
• Decreased interest in intimacy
• Disrupted sleep

These signs can also be linked to other conditions, so it is important not to self-diagnose. A proper assessment by a GP is the right starting point.
How is it assessed?

A simple blood test which includes your testosterone levels. Your GP will look at the results alongside your symptoms and overall health before discussing any next steps with you.

What are the options?
If testosterone is low, your GP will explain what it means and discuss possible treatment options.
If you have been experiencing any of the signs above, you are welcome to speak with our GPs at Cross Street Medical Clinic.

HIV Screening: Understanding Your Options

Getting screened for HIV is straightforward but many people do not act because they are unsure what the process involves. Here is a simple overview to help you understand your options.

Why consider HIV screening?
HIV does not usually have obvious symptoms in the early stages. Screening is the only reliable way to know your status. Knowing early means more options for managing your health.

What types of HIV tests are available?
• Antibody Test (3rd Generation test) — Checks for antibodies that the body produces against HIV.
• Antigen/Antibody Test (3rd/4th Generation test) — Detects antibodies against HIV and a protein called p24. This test can pick up HIV sooner after exposure compared to an antibody-only test.
• PCR Test (RNA Test) — Detects the virus directly and can be done earlier after a potential exposure.

When should you test?
There is a "window period" for each test type — this is the time between exposure and when a test can reliably detect HIV. Your GP can advise on the appropriate test and timing based on your circumstances.

Who should consider getting screened?
HIV screening is something anyone can consider, particularly if you:
• Have had a potential exposure and are unsure
• Have not been screened before and would like to know your status
• Are starting a new relationship
• Are on or considering PrEP
If you have any questions, our doctors are here to help.

STD Screenings for Women: Clearing Up Misconceptions

There are quite a few misconceptions around STD screening for women, and they sometimes stop people from getting checked when it may actually be helpful to do so. Here's a straightforward look at some common ones.

Misconception 1: "I don't need a screening if I have no symptoms"
Many STIs do not have obvious symptoms, especially in the early stages. Someone can have an STI and feel completely fine. A screening is the only way to know for sure.

Misconception 2: "Screening are only for people with multiple partners"
This is not the case. STD screening can be relevant for anyone who is or has been in a relationship, regardless of the number of partners.

Misconception 3: "A Pap smear covers everything"
A Pap smear is screening for cervical cancer only and is not the same as an STD screening. They are separate tests.

Misconception 4: "It's embarrassing to ask for one"
Our GPs are here to have open, non-judgmental conversations. Asking about your health is always the right thing to do.
Misconception 5: "It's a complicated or painful process"
STD screening are generally straightforward. Your GP will advise on what tests may be appropriate based on your situation.

PrEP: What Is It and Who It May Be Suitable For

PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It is a medication that, when taken as prescribed, will reduce the risk of getting HIV, particularly for people who are at higher risk.

PrEP may be something to discuss with your GP if you:
• Have a partner who is living with HIV
• Are not in a mutually exclusive relationship and are concerned about HIV
• Have had a recent STI diagnosis
• Feel that you may benefit from an added layer of protection

Important things to know:
• PrEP is not a cure for HIV and does not protect against other STIs
• It works best when taken consistently, as directed by your doctor
• Regular follow-up appointments and testing are part of the PrEP journey
• It is not suitable for everyone — your GP will assess if it is appropriate for you

Common Signs That May Indicate the Need for Health Screening

Ever been in a conversation with friends and realised you're not the only one feeling constantly tired, having random headaches, or just feeling "off" lately? Sometimes, these everyday complaints are worth paying a little more attention to.

Some signs that may suggest it's worth going for a health screening:
• Persistent fatigue that doesn't go away with rest
• Frequent headaches or dizziness
• Unusual thirst or frequent urination
• Unexplained weight changes
• Feeling "off" without a clear reason
These symptoms don't always mean something serious — but getting checked gives you peace of mind and helps your doctor understand your health better.

🤧 Flu Season is Here: Safeguard Your Health with Vaccination

The flu — or influenza — is more than just a bad cold. It can cause high fever, body aches, a persistent cough, and extreme tiredness that can last more than two weeks. In young children, it can also cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach discomfort.

The good news is that flu vaccination is one of the steps you can take to help reduce your chances of getting it, or to lessen how severe it may be if you do.
Who may benefit from flu vaccination?
Singapore's Ministry of Health recommends vaccination, especially for:
• Adults aged 65 and above
• Young children aged 6 months to 59 months
• Pregnant women (at any stage)
• Those with long-term health conditions such as heart, lung, kidney, or metabolic conditions
• Those with a weakened immune system
• Residents in nursing homes or long-term care facilities
• Healthcare workers

Already feeling unwell?
We also offer a rapid flu test at the clinic — results are available in about 15 minutes. If flu is confirmed, our GP can discuss treatment options with you. Antiviral medication (such as Tamiflu) is most helpful when started early — within the first 48 hours of symptoms.

💳 Medisave may be used for flu vaccination for eligible groups. We are a CHAS-approved clinic.

Understanding Syphilis and the Role of Screening

Syphilis is a bacterial infection that is more common than many people realise — and it does not always cause obvious symptoms. This is why screening is important for staying informed about your health.

What you may not know about syphilis:
• Symptoms can be mild or easy to miss — some people experience skin rashes, sores, or general discomfort such as stomach or body aches, while others may notice nothing at all.
• It progresses in stages — if left undetected, it can affect other parts of the body over time.
• A simple blood test can detect it — screening is straightforward and quick.
• It is treatable when detected — early detection allows your doctor to advise on the appropriate next steps.

If you have concerns or are unsure whether screening is right for you, our GPs are available for a consultation. We will take the time to understand your situation and explain your options clearly.
