* [www.durdans.com/ Durdans Hospital]: This is a private hospital. From a local: "I was told that Durdans is the only private hospital that covers all the tests. But that too with lots of judgement and they make it very uncomfortable for the patient." Address: 3 Alfred Pl, Colombo 00300, Sri Lanka. Phone: +94 11 2 140000. | |||
* [http://www.fpasrilanka.org/ Family Planning Association of Sri Lanka]: They may be less judgmental than Durdans Hospital but they may also test for a smaller range of STIs/STDs. Location: Bullers Lane, Colombo 07. Tel : 2555 455. Clinic is open from 9am to 3.30pm in weekdays. | |||

Note from a local: "Lanka hospitals and Nawaloka are particularly awful, with friends and acquaintances having really terrible experience with the medical staff. I've easily come across at least ten instances where a patient who went to get checked for an STD was reprimanded for having sex outside of marriage. The Family Planning Association (FPA) is a lot better in that department but in general, trying to get any of the such services, particularly if you are unmarried, is a fairly uncomfortable process at any normal hospital.
