STI Care in Kathmandu

  • Complete pathway — testing, treatment, partner care, follow-up.
  • Site-matched testing — correct specimens, not urine-only default.
  • Confidential — private consultations, secure delivery.
  • Non-judgmental — routine healthcare handled professionally.

A Specialist STI Clinic — What It Covers

A specialist STI clinic covers complete pathway: confidential consultation ( exposure, symptoms, right assessment), correct testing (site-matched NAAT, serology, lesion PCR — matched to infection and exposure), treatment where positive (organism-matched — chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, less-common), and partner care ( reinfection prevention that completes pathway).

The specialist framing matters because STI care is not reflexive test-and-treat — correct service is one that selects right test for exposure, interprets result against timing and coverage, treats correctly, and prevents reinfection.

At Thamel Clinic service is confidential throughout — private consultations, secure specimen handling, results delivered to your chosen channel — and complete pathway (testing → treatment → partner care → follow-up) at same service.

The Testing — Correctly Done

The correct test for infection: NAAT for chlamydia and gonorrhea (site-matched — urine for urethral, throat/rectal swabs where exposure warrants, ~95% on correct specimen), 4th-gen HIV (~2–4 week window), two-test syphilis serology, lesion PCR for acute herpes, and hepatitis markers where indicated.

The specimen is clinical decision — site-matched coverage that determines what test can see — urine-only default misses ~85–90% of extragenital infection.

NAAT CT/GC

Site-matched — ~95% on correct specimen.

HIV 4th-Gen

Antigen/antibody — ~2–4 week window.

Two-Test Syphilis

Screening plus confirmatory.

Lesion PCR

Acute herpes — fresh-sore diagnostic.

The Treatment — Organism-Matched

The treatment is organism-matched: chlamydia by antibiotic course (doxycycline preferred), gonorrhea by ceftriaxone ( correct drug for resistance landscape), syphilis by stage-matched penicillin, herpes by antiviral management, and less-common by correct organism-matched approach.

Where infection involves complications — the PID, epididymitis, systemic — management escalates appropriately at same service.

Gonorrhea

Syphilis

Partner Care — the Reinfection Prevention

Partner management is complete-pathway component: partners tested site-matched and treated — untreated partner is commonest reinfection source — with confidential notification routes where patient prefers not to disclose directly.

The partner care is part that prevents ping-pong reinfection — treated patient reinfected by untreated partner is commonest recurrence.
