Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about STI testing in the Netherlands.
What is an STI test and when does it make sense?
An STI test checks whether you have a sexually transmitted infection — chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV and more. Most STIs cause no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know for sure.
Which provider is cheapest for a full STI screening?
Prices vary widely. Free testing is possible at the GGD (if you fit a priority group) or at the GP once your deductible is spent. Beyond that, home tests start around €36, and on-site ZIZ (€36 for chlamydia + gonorrhoea) usually sits below the commercial clinics (around €115 for the same test, treatment billed separately). Use the comparison or the decision helper to find the cheapest route for your situation.
Is an STI test at the GP free?
The consult is free (basic insurance), but the lab work counts toward your annual deductible (€385 in 2026). Already used it up? Then testing is virtually free.
Who qualifies for free testing at the GGD?
Under-25s, men who have sex with men, sex workers, anyone with symptoms, and anyone notified by a partner. Capacity can be limited per region.
How much does a chlamydia home test cost?
From €36 at ZIZ (treatment included), up to about €71 at Soapoli-online (medication via pharmacy on top). The certified home-test providers Soapoli-online, Soapolinoord and SoaStudentArts sit in between.
What’s in a standard 4-in-1 STI test?
Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis. These are the four most common STIs in the Netherlands and together they’re sometimes called the "Big Four".
How fast do I get a result?
Rapid test: 30 minutes to 2 hours (ZIZ, SoaZorg, OneDayClinic). Lab test: 1–7 days at private clinics and GPs. Home test: 2–7 days from order.
What is the window period for different STIs?
Chlamydia and gonorrhoea: 2 weeks after exposure. HIV and syphilis: 4 weeks. Hepatitis B/C: 6–12 weeks. The HIV-1 RNA rapid test is reliable from 14 days.

Read moreWhat is an STI test?
An STI test (test for sexually transmitted infection) checks whether you have an infection such as chlamydia, gonorroe, syfilis, hiv, hepatitis B/C, mycoplasma, or trichomonas. Most STIs cause no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know for sure.
When to test? If you have symptoms like burning urination, unusual discharge or sores, get tested straight away. If you’ve had a new or recent sex partner with unknown STI status, wait at least 2 weeks before testing.
How we compare? We show every route for STI testing in the Netherlands: from private clinics to home tests and from the GGD to your own GP. Ranked by the total cost on a positive result. Because the real price is what you pay for the test plus the treatment. Read our full methodology.
When is a test reliable?
There’s a "window period" between possible exposure and the moment a test becomes reliable. Test too early and the result can be falsely negative. The window varies by STI:
STI
Reliable from
Chlamydia
2 weeks after exposure
Gonorrhoea
2 weeks after exposure
Syphilis
4 weeks after exposure
HIV
2–4 weeks after exposure
Hepatitis B/C
6–12 weeks after exposure
Mycoplasma
2 weeks after exposure
Trichomonas
2 weeks after exposure
Waiting doesn’t cost extra: testing too early can return a false negative. Consider the HIV-1 RNA rapid test (from 14 days) if you don’t want to wait longer than strictly necessary. Read more about when to test.
What if you test positive?
Treatment is almost always short and effective on a positive result. Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, mycoplasma and trichomonas are all treated with antibiotics (a tablet course or injection). HIV and hepatitis B/C need specialist care and are referred to an HIV treatment centre or internist. At ZIZ and the GGD, treatment is automatically in the price. At other providers you pay separately for a treatment consult (€50–€130) or for medication via the pharmacy (€12–€28).

Rutgers and Aidsfonds – Soa Aids Nederland merge into one sexual health organisation
Expertise centre Rutgers and Aidsfonds – Soa Aids Nederland completed a governance merger on 1 July; the legal merger follows on 1 January 2027. Under the joint leadership of Marieke van der Plas and Mark Vermeulen, a single point of contact emerges for sexual health knowledge, education and policy. The organisations aim to tackle misinformation and health inequalities more effectively and to reach young people and vulnerable groups better.
Read moreRIVM annual report: fewer STI consultations in 2025, yet gonorrhoea and syphilis keep rising
RIVM counted 146,982 consultations at the Sexual Health Centres in 2025 — 8% fewer than in 2024 and below pre-COVID levels for the first time. Diagnoses nevertheless rose: gonorrhoea +2.5%, syphilis +7.2% and HIV +6%, with the positivity rate climbing to 17%. Fewer tests, more findings. Soa Aids Nederland calls the combination worrying and argues for more accessible testing via the GGD, your GP or a trusted provider.
Read moreYoung men: more unprotected sex, far less STI testing
Soa Aids Nederland highlights CBS figures: 14% of men around their twenties had unprotected sex with a casual partner in the past year, versus 8% of women — yet only 6% of young men got tested, against 13% of women. It calls the combination of unprotected sex and low testing rates alarming, and argues for targeted condom promotion and low-threshold testing via the GP, GGD or a trusted provider.
