A Quick STD Checkup in Gangnam, Seoul. In and out in about an hour.

Usually, yes. A typical visit at HIGHST Urology Clinic takes about an hour, including the consultation, samples and rapid results where available. PCR results take longer and are sent privately afterwards, so you do not need to wait at the clinic for them. Busy times can add waiting, so booking ahead helps.

Fasting is generally not needed for STD tests. For urine PCR tests, it can help not to urinate for a while before your visit so a good sample can be collected. If you have specific questions, message our coordinators on WhatsApp before you come.

Many people do. The clinic is about 2 minutes from Gangnam-gu Office Station, Exit 2. Booking a specific time on WhatsApp or KakaoTalk makes a short visit more predictable. Allow about an hour in case of waiting or if treatment is needed.

Most checkups use a urine sample and a small blood draw, which are quick and usually cause little discomfort. A swab is only taken if there are visible symptoms such as sores. Tell your urologist if you feel anxious, and they will explain each step.

The speed comes from an efficient process, not from skipping steps. A urologist still reviews your history and chooses tests that match your situation, and multi-PCR panels can check several infections from one sample. If something needs closer attention, your urologist will tell you.

If treatment is needed, prescriptions or injections can be given on site, often during the same visit. If a PCR result later shows an infection, your urologist contacts you privately and arranges treatment and any partner testing advice. Results are shared only with you.
