SEXUAL HEALTH CHECK
SEXUAL HEALTH CHECK
We offer a screening service for sexually transmitted infections. We provide this service with discretion and complete confidentiality. Some reasons why you might attend for a sexual health check include:
-
If you have had unprotected sex especially with an unknown partner.
-
If you have symptoms in the genitourinary area which may be related to sexual contact
-
If a recent or present partner has been diagnosed with an STI
-
If you would like to know about your sexual health status
​
A sexual health check will include urine testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, and blood tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis. Other tests such as penile and vaginal swabs may be taken.
​
There is no point in attending for screening any sooner than 2 weeks after the contact that you are concerned about as the test results may not be accurate. This does not apply if you have symptoms.
​
It is advisable for men not to pass urine for 2 hours before your appointment so that an accurate sample can be obtained.
