Advice on STD testing

If you’re sexually active, particularly with multiple partners, you’ve probably heard the following advice many times, always use protection and importantly, make sure that you and your sexual partners are regularly tested as a matter of routine. It is important to visit a specialist STD testing clinic as not all doctors test for the same STD’s, some STD’s are not prevented by the use of condoms and these can be missed in the routine test carried out by GP’s.

HIV private STD test clinics are available throughout the UK and many are centred on the capital London, which with its ever changing population and influx of foreign visitors the chances of becoming infected with an STD is higher than most places, particularly through casual sex. STD and STI tests are carried out at the London clinics in 100% confidentiality and results of the tests can be with you instantly in the case of an HIV test, or within 1 to 2 days with other STD infections. These can be given either in person or by telephone, this time contrasts with the normal 2 or 3 weeks by your local GP or NHS clinic.
