Why are the prices of our STD tests higher than those of some other centers in Seville?
As a matter of fact, being guided solely by price when it comes to our health is not advisable. The explanation of our rates is clear: At Andromedi we don’t simply deliver analytic results as laboratories do. We accompany you at all times with a professional medical opinion, interpreting and assessing the results, offering a deeper diagnosis, and being able to resolve any doubts and questions that may arise, in addition to creating a record in case you have a positive result and need follow-up.
In other centers offering less expensive services, you are simply given a flyer with the results (often not very comprehensible), which in our opinion is incomplete: we believe that medical consultation should always be more human, personalized and individualized, especially when it has to do with venereal diseases, something that particularly worries patients at risk of being infected.
For us, speed and privacy are essential pillars when analyzing possible STDs: in 24-48 hours, we can establish whether or not the patient has contracted Human Papillomavirus, Syphilis, AIDS or genital herpes among many other diseases. Our uninterrupted schedule from 09:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. is easily adapted to your needs so that you neither have to be absent from work nor attract unnecessary attention from your immediate surroundings.

I think I've caught something. What’s it most likely to be?
The 5 diagnostic tests for venereal diseases (sexually transmitted diseases or STDs) most conducted in our center in Seville are:
Disease
Genital herpes
Other names
Herpes simplex, Herpes Hominis virus
What it is
Genital herpes is actually Herpes simplex (type VHS1 or VHS2) that affects this area of the body, favored by its specific conditions of temperature, humidity, and exposure.
Causes of infection
Direct contact with the virus, which is usually found in the ulcers produced by the infection.
Symptoms
Appearance of blisters and skin lesions in groups: pain, itching, discomfort, and burning.
Diagnosis
Visual examination by a specialist and if appropriate, a sample is collected to be analyzed (biopsy), or a blood test (blood count to find antibodies for this disease) is conducted.
Treatment
There is no cure for herpes, although there are treatments to alleviate, diminish, or prevent an outbreak (period of increased activity of the virus).
Disease
Human papillomavirus
Other names
HPV, Condyloma, or Genital warts.
What it is
These are a group of viruses (more than 40 types, related to a larger group) that affect the human genitals creating warts or causing cervical cancer among other types of cancer in worst-cases.
Causes of infection
Sexual contact is a risk factor, including either touch, oral, vaginal or anal.
Symptoms
There are two groups, low-risk viruses (those that form fleshy bumps) and high-risk viruses (those that can lead to abnormal tumor cells). In the first type, warts arise that are irritating when touched and can bleed when rubbed. In the second type, there are no symptoms until there is a major problem (cancer). So, medical check-ups are always necessary to rule out risks. Remember that both types can be spread to other people.
Diagnosis
In the group of low-risk viruses (types 6 and 11), a visual examination by a doctor is usually sufficient. Meanwhile, the second type which can be much more dangerous requires a specific serological test (flow, a biopsy of suspicious tissue, etc.).
Treatment
There is ongoing research in the field of medicine to find a cure for Human Papillomavirus. Although it currently has no cure, there are ways to alleviate its expansion (eliminating warts by cauterizing the infected area) as well as the side effects. In some people, the disease naturally does not develop, even when they are still carriers. So, it is necessary to diagnose it in all cases.
Disease
HIV / AIDS
Other names
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
What it is
It is an infectious disease that causes a drastic lowering of the body’s natural defenses, thus exposing it to other infections or viruses free to cause very serious medical conditions.
Causes of infection
Sexual intercourse, contaminated syringes, from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery or through breast milk. Antiretroviral drugs do not prevent infection but can make it difficult.
Symptoms
As a syndrome, the symptoms can be very variable and generalized, so, a general study becomes necessary because it can be identified through other diseases, sudden weight loss, general fatigue, persistent fever, cough, sweating, swollen glands, etc.
Diagnosis
Analysis of a blood sample within 30 days after exposure to the virus.
Treatment
It is well known that there is still no cure for AIDS, but there are antiretroviral treatments with more than 30 drugs approved by regulatory entities.
Disease
Candidiasis
Other names
Candida, Moniliasis, yeast infection, fungal infection.
What it is
Excessive proliferation of bacteria “Candida albicans”, which usually occurs mostly in the vagina, although it can also appear in the glans and foreskin of men.
Causes of infection
The infection of candidiasis is more associated to an internal imbalance of the patient rather than a contagion through a sexual relationship, but it is true that some men may present hours or days later with symptoms such as itching, rashes, or irritation in the glans or foreskin most especially.
Symptoms
Itching, redness, swelling, pain, burning sensation, whitish flow with the presence of lumps. Discomfort during sexual intercourse
Diagnosis
Normally based on a cytological culture in women and visual examination in men.
Treatment
Antifungals (Miconazole, Clotrimazole, Tioconazole, Butoconazole), diets low in sugars to avoid glycemic peaks, and specific habits to combat the environment that is conducive to the colonization of Candida.
Disease
Granuloma inguinale
Other names
Donovanosis, Genital ulcer, Klebsiella granulomatis.
What it is
Ulcerative infection that causes lesions on the skin of the genital and anal areas. Rarely appears in the mouth, although it is possible.
Causes of infection
This disease is acquired through sexual intercourse with penetration (vaginal or anal), and is less likely to be contacted through touch with hands or oral sex. Men usually present symptoms more frequently (so the male homosexual group is at greater risk).
Symptoms
During the first week, the patient may have been infected without knowing since the first symptom (small pimple or bump, accompanied by surrounding redness) appears between 7 and 10 days after contact. This initial stage tends to develop and become more noticeable during the next two or three months or until treatment is started. When the infection progresses, fleshy (raised) and painless nodules appear that can bleed with the rubbing of pants or lingerie increasing in thickness and colonizing more surrounding tissue. If the disease is not treated in time, ulcerated areas appear on the genitals and the anus, reaching the legs and the upper part of the pubic bone.
Diagnosis
It is not an excessively common disease in our country since it has more prevalence in tropical areas. It can be confused with the Chancroid infection (see above) in its early stages. Visual examination by a specialist is usually sufficient to indicate an antibiotic treatment, before a laboratory tissue biopsy may be required if it does not control its spread.
Treatment
Antibiotics (tetracycline, erythromycin, streptomycin or ampicillin) for at least a month, to control the spread and re-dosing if necessary.
