Cost

Service	Who	Cost
Full STI check	Everyone	Free The clinic's listing says visits with symptoms, or to rule out a disease covered by the Communicable Diseases Act (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV), are free; all other visits are charged at the regional rate. Whether a tourist without EU cover pays a visitor fee is not stated.

Prices are shown in the local currency as stated by the source on the date shown. “Consultation” is often charged separately from tests.

Sweden: good to know

What visitors pay. Sweden's national health service site 1177 says you never pay to be tested for the infections covered by the Communicable Diseases Act (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV and hepatitis B), and that all treatment for those infections is free. Sahlgrenska's clinic repeats this for visits with symptoms or to rule out one of those infections; other visits are charged at the regional rate. Neither page says whether a tourist without EU cover pays a visitor fee, so ask when you book.
