Why Get Tested?

•

Peace of Mind

Many STIs have no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know for sure. Regular testing is a normal part of looking after your sexual health.

•

Early Detection

Most STIs are easily treatable when caught early. Delayed treatment can lead to complications including fertility problems and transmission to partners.

•

Protect Your Partners

Knowing your status allows you to make informed decisions about your sexual health and protects the people you care about.

•

Confidential Service

Your privacy is paramount. All testing is completely confidential and results are only shared with you. We create a judgement-free environment.

What to Expect

Your appointment will last approximately 15-20 minutes. After a brief confidential discussion about your testing needs, our trained phlebotomist will take a small blood sample from your arm. The procedure is quick and causes minimal discomfort. Your samples are processed by an accredited laboratory with strict quality controls. Results are typically available within 2-5 working days and will be communicated to you confidentially through your preferred method. If any results require follow-up or treatment, we will provide guidance on next steps and can arrange referrals to specialist services if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get tested?

We recommend testing after any unprotected sexual contact, when starting a new relationship, annually if sexually active with multiple partners, or if you have any symptoms of concern.

How soon can STIs be detected?

Different infections have different window periods. Most can be detected 2-4 weeks after exposure, though some may take up to 3 months for accurate results. We will advise on appropriate testing timing.

What if a test is positive?

Most STIs are treatable or manageable with the right care. We will explain your results clearly, discuss treatment options, and provide support for partner notification if relevant.
