See, I have a bit of knowledge with medical matters. The most COMMON STDs are:
Chlamydia
Genital herpes
Genital warts
Gonorrhea
Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C
Syphilis
HIV

Not all of them are detected with blood tests. and Chlamydia can certainly get rid off.

Just go and see a GP, and next time wear a condom. Oh forgot, condoms are not 100% safe against STDs.

I got some sound advice on sexual diseases from my boss some twenty-five years ago when I was about to embark on a business trip to Lagos. I've never forgotten it...

Yes you are right, my partner was diagnosed with chlamydia. The one diagnosed gets a one week treatment with antibiotics, and the partner (me) gets a single dose of a different pill.

From http://www.avert.org/stdstatisticuk.htm

Chlamydia can have serious side-effects, one of which is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can lead to infertility in women. However the disease can often be SYMPTOMLESS and therefore many people do not come forward to be tested – they often have no idea that they're infected.

Condoms do not protect from all STDs simply because you don't usually wear one for all sexual acts (see oral). You certainly don't wear one for kissing! You can get STDs from kissing alone.

You seem to be in the know Tom, so why have you not been to a GP ? I would of thought a simple blood test would confirm or deny what you are worried about.

Again, a simple blood test does not detect everything. My question was whether someone knows of a clinic (anonymous visit preferred) in nicosia, that can test for all sexually transmitted diseases, and give treatment if necessary.

Ok. Sorry cannot help with Nicosia.
You could try the Polyclinic in Limassol, they will see you the same day. Treatment and testing is not cheap but they are excellent.
