Why Sexual Health Screening Matters
Sexually transmitted infections are more common than you might think
Did you know that chlamydia and gonorrhoea infections are on the rise, particularly among people younger than 30 years old or those with new or multiple partners? These infections often present with few or no symptoms, which means they may be far more prevalent in the community than many realise.
When left untreated, sexually transmitted infections can lead to serious long-term complications. These include pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pain, and even infertility. The good news is that early detection makes treatment straightforward, often requiring just a simple course of antibiotics.
At Madison Medical Practice Hornsby, we understand that discussing sexual health can feel uncomfortable. Our experienced healthcare professionals provide a supportive, confidential environment where you can address your concerns without judgement.

Simple, Quick STI Testing On-Site
Getting tested is easier than you think, with convenient testing options available at our Hornsby clinic.
Sexual health testing at Madison Medical Practice is straightforward and convenient. All you need is a simple swab or urine test, along with a blood test, which can be completed on-site at our pathology collection facility.
Results are typically available within a couple of days. Your doctor will review your results and contact you to discuss the findings at a follow-up appointment. If treatment is needed, it can often begin immediately.
We recommend regular screening if you have new partners, multiple partners, or if you have any concerns about potential exposure.
