The government has set a target to have at least 17% of all young people screened for the STD Chlamydia which is still on the increase in the UK. It is now estimated that up to one in ten 15-24 year olds has the disease, double that of a decade ago. Figures reveal that as few as 5% of young people have been tested for Chlamydia and health experts suggest that 35% is the figure that is needed if we are to prevent the disease from spreading.

Anyone who has any symptoms of Chlamydia or feels that they may have contracted the disease is urged to take an STD test straight away. The test can be undertaken in London and many centres throughout the UK including major cities such as Manchester and Birmingham. The test is completely confidential and the result will be given to you quickly, by ‘phone, in person or by post. The sooner the result is with you, the earlier treatment can begin should you be suffering from the Chlamydia infection.

There are two first class STD clinics in Manchester which provide testing for gonorrhea as well as all other types of sexually transmitted diseases. Gonorrhea is the second most common sexually transmitted infection in the UK and the number of cases is rising every year. Young men aged 20-24 years and women between the ages of 16 and 19 are most commonly affected. Around half of women and one in ten men who have contracted gonorrhea do not experience any symptoms, which means it can often go untreated for some time.

If you are sexually active and particularly have multiple partners, it makes sense to check to see if you are clear of any form of STD. The tests are quick and simple and are carried out in complete confidence, anonymously if preferred. The results will be given to you quickly, either by telephone, in person, or they can be sent to you by post. The sooner you know whether you have an infection, the quicker that treatment can begin.

HIV (AIDS) is one of the most serious of sexually transmitted diseases and early detection is vital if the infection is to be kept under control. However, there is no cure for HIV and typically this virus leads to AIDS. With the use of antiretroviral drugs, though, people with HIV can significantly prolong their life as well as the put off the development of AIDS.

With this in mind people who are sexually active with multiple partners or same sex couples are most at risk of contracting HIV. Testing for the infection is carried out at a number of clinics in London as well as major cities throughout the UK. The primary detection of HIV is through a blood sample to test for HIV antibodies in the blood. If HIV antibodies are found, the patient is HIV positive. Another test is conducted to confirm diagnosis. The current treatment for the HIV virus is antivirus drugs, antiretroviral treatment or combination therapy. Contact your STD testing clinic today if you are injecting drugs or fall into the above category.

Do not delay that STD test!

There is often delay between becoming infected with an STD and the infection being detectable by testing. During this period the infection may be transmissible. If you fall into the category of a person who has regular sex with multiple partners, or male same sex you should arrange an STD test to determine if you are clear of infection.

Having a test is not a substitute for safe sex and precautions should always be employed. Tests by definition are only informative and not preventative, and while important in keeping oneself and others informed of a partner’s STD status, they do not take the place of preventative safer sex practices, which would include caution in selecting partners. Having an STD test in London or one of the other major centres in the UK is common sense as they are essential in the early treatment of STDs, and most STDs are treatable once discovered.
