Am in Silom so thought I'd go up to the Thai Red Cross for a full STD STI HIV test check up.
The Thai Red Cross is is between Sala Daeng (Silom) and Ratchdamri BTS stations. Just opposite the corner of Lumphini park.
Located here:
Thai Red Cross STD STI HIV Test Check UP
Wasn't expecting any nasty news, but been a few years since my last STI STD check, so went on up.
The Thai Red Cross is closer to Ratchadamri BTS station than Silom, if you are travelling by BTS.
You walk in through the gates and will see 2 big water towers.
Between the 2 gates is the 'Anonymous Clinic', which is where you go for your STD STI HIV tests etc.
It's all anonymous, and no need to show any ID, unless you want more detailed help.
Walk in, get your number, and a very pleasant older American gentleman with Thai Red Cross poloshirt talks you through the registration process.
Had a bit of a chat, he isn't paid by the Thai Red Cross, but is paid by a HIV charity thing set up by Elton John.
Your number and 2 stickers for them to use.
I opted for blood test, which tests for HIV and Syphilis.
And the Chlamydia and Gonorrhea tests which are done by urine.
Thai Red Cross Testing rooms are all nice and clean.
Had my blood drawn, and you get the HIV and Syphilis results after one hour.
The Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test results take 15 days and will be emailed to you.
Go and pee into this. Seal it up and leave it in a little basket.
Pay the bill.
I imagine that's quite cheap.
One hour to wait, so I went down to Silom for an oil massage.
