Best STD Checkup in Kathmandu The Complete Sexual Health Assessment
A proper STD checkup is a structured review — history, examination, a matched test panel and a prevention plan — not just a random blood draw. Thamel Clinic's checkup covers all of it in one visit, fully confidential.

Why a Structured Checkup Matters Here
- Self-selected lab panels miss infections — patients guess at tests instead of being matched by history.
- Preventive health culture is thin — checkups are usually symptom-driven; we normalize the scheduled sexual health review.
- Sexual history is rarely taken anywhere else — the conversation most clinics skip is the one that determines the right tests.
- A clean documented baseline has future value — next year's results interpret against this year's.
What a Real STD Checkup Includes
A checkup that is only a bag of tests misses the point. A proper sexual health checkup answers four questions: what is your risk profile (history), is there anything to find (examination), is anything present (matched testing), and what should change going forward (prevention plan). The lab work is one quarter of the value.
Our checkup is designed for three situations — the periodic review for sexually active adults, the peace-of-mind check after a worrying period, and the baseline assessment before a new relationship, marriage or pregnancy. Each gets the same rigor; the panel matches the history, not a generic list.
This page lays out exactly what happens during the checkup, what the panel covers, and what you leave with.
The Four Components
1. Confidential History
Partners, protection, prior STIs and tests, vaccination status, current concerns — the 5–10 minutes that determines everything else.
2. Examination
Genital/skin examination where indicated — warts, ulcers, discharge, lymph nodes. Female patients may request female staff.
3. Matched Testing
The panel your history calls for — typically GC/CT PCR + syphilis + HIV, extended per risk; site swabs where exposure indicates.
4. Prevention Plan
Screening interval set, vaccination gaps identified (HPV, hepatitis B), PrEP discussed where relevant, questions answered.
The Standard Checkup Panel
- Chlamydia + Gonorrhea PCR — urine or self-collected swab; rectal/pharyngeal added per history.
- Syphilis paired serology — RPR/VDRL titer + TPHA.
- HIV 4th gen Ag/Ab — the standard assay.
- Hepatitis B & C — HBsAg + anti-HCV for the extended check.
- Examination findings — warts, herpes, molluscum assessed clinically.
- Optional expansion — STI-29 PCR panel for comprehensive coverage.
How Often, and the Logistics
Annually for most sexually active adults; every 3–6 months for higher-risk profiles; event-triggered after new partners or exposures (respecting window periods). The visit itself takes ~20–30 minutes plus sample collection. No fasting needed; for urine PCR avoid urinating 1–2 hours before. Results return in 24–48 hours with doctor interpretation.
What You Leave With
- A complete result set — explained, not just delivered.
- A documented baseline — your sexual health record starts here.
- A defined next checkup date — matched to your risk.
- Prevention actions — vaccination, PrEP or condom strategy as relevant.
- Treatment same-visit if anything is found — positives never wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a checkup and a test?
A test answers one question; a checkup assesses the whole picture — risk, examination, matched tests and a forward plan. The lab work is embedded in a real assessment.
How long does it take?
About 20–30 minutes plus sampling; results in 24–48 hours with a follow-up explanation.
I feel completely healthy — is a checkup useful?
That is precisely who it is for — the infections a checkup is designed to catch (chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis) are characteristically silent.
Will anyone know I had a checkup?
No — the visit is indistinguishable from any health checkup and results go to you alone.
Can I bring my partner?
Yes — couples checkups are common; each partner is assessed and reported to individually.
