STI/STD (Sexually Transmitted Infections)
STI & STD Testing and Treatment in Dubai
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs, also called STDs) are infections passed between people through sexual contact. More than 20 different types are known, and the great majority are treatable or curable with prompt diagnosis. Dr. Shawket Alkhayal offers confidential, accurate STI testing and treatment for men and women in Dubai.
Causes
Unprotected intercourse is the most common route of transmission, but STIs can also be passed through oral or anal sex. Many different organisms can be responsible, and symptoms vary widely some infections cause no symptoms at all, which is why regular testing matters even without obvious signs.
Symptoms in Men
Common symptoms include burning or itching in the penis, discharge from the penis, pelvic pain, sores, bumps, or blisters on the penis, anus, or mouth, burning or pain during urination or bowel movements, and unusually frequent bathroom visits.
Symptoms in Women
Common symptoms include burning or itching in the vagina, unusual discharge or odour, pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain during sex, sores, bumps, or blisters, burning or pain during urination or bowel movements, and frequent urination related to a bladder infection.
Diagnosis in Dubai
Diagnosis combines a clinical examination with laboratory testing either a fluid sample from the vagina or penis, or a blood test. PCR testing is the most accurate method available and is offered directly at the clinic, screening for Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, Treponema Pallidum (Syphilis), Gardnerella, Trichomonas
Vaginalis, Herpes Simplex Virus, and HPV, as well as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV infections that can otherwise go unnoticed until serious complications arise.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
