STD testing advice for men

It is a sac fact that testing centres do not usually suggest that men are routinely tested for STD’ and STI’s, that is unless you have regular sexual contact and sexual practice with other men. If this is the case your health could well be at risk. If you regularly practice sex with other men, you should have regular screening for HIV, syphilis, Chlamydia and gonorrhea. It is a known fact that HIV and syphilis can be life-threatening if untreated, regarding Chlamydia and gonorrhea, these infections can put you at an increased risk of acquiring HIV and other STDs.

Of course, if you are heterosexual and sexually active with a number of different partners, you are at increased risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Men in these circumstances should consider regular testing. Private clinics in London and in other major centres throughout the UK will undertake STD testing which is completely confidential and the results can be given to you quickly, for HIV almost immediately, for other STD’s within 2 to 3 days by ‘phone or at the testing centre.
