You can get a comprehensive STD test any time you are worried and seeking peace of mind. It is advisable that everyone who is sexually active be screened routinely.

Our comprehensive sexual health screening packages test for the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the UK. We also offer additional swab options to suit your specific circumstances.
After testing, if your results are abnormal, we provide a telephone consultation with a nurse and any necessary prescriptions. At Walk-In-Clinics, your sexual health is in the best hands.
STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) refers to infections that are typically transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. These diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
Some common STDs include HIV/AIDS, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Genital herpes, and HPV. The most common STD currently in the UK is Chlamydia. It is vital to always practice safe sex and get tested regularly if sexually active to prevent and manage STDs.
Untreated STDs can lead to serious health complications and transmission risks. Symptoms like genital discomfort, pain during urination, and sexual issues persist untreated. STDs such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), leading to infertility and pregnancy complications.
Certain STDs increase cancer risks (e.g., HPV) and neurological problems (e.g., Syphilis). Cardiovascular issues and weakened immunity (e.g., HIV/AIDS) are also concerns. Socially, stigma and relationship strains can arise. Therefore, early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent these risks and improve overall health outcomes.
STDs can be either curable or manageable. Curable STDs, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, and Trichomoniasis, can be completely eradicated with antibiotics or other medications.
Manageable STDs, while not curable, can be controlled to reduce symptoms, prevent complications, and lower transmission risks. HIV is managed with antiretroviral therapy (ART); herpes simplex virus (HSV) with antiviral medications; and human papillomavirus (HPV) with treatments for symptoms and vaccines to prevent infection. Hepatitis B is managed with antiviral medications and vaccination, while hepatitis C is often curable with direct-acting antivirals but requires management for chronic cases.

Keeping yourself sufficiently hydrated makes blood-taking easier by ensuring your veins are more accessible and your blood flows more smoothly. This can help reduce discomfort and make the process quicker and more efficient. Additionally, for accurate urine test results, it is recommended that you hold your urine for two hours prior to the appointment. This helps concentrate the urine, providing more reliable test results and ensuring that any potential infections or abnormalities can be accurately detected. Proper preparation is key to obtaining the most precise and helpful diagnostic information during your visit.
If you are experiencing symptoms, you will have a consultation with an experienced doctor who will discuss your options for testing. This may involve personal questions about your medical and sexual history, typical methods of contraception, and other aspects of your sex life, sexual practices, and sexual partners. If you want testing but do not have any symptoms, your consultation will be with a sexual health specialist nurse. All information provided during your visit will be treated confidentially. HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C are tested for with a blood sample, while Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are tested for with a urine sample. Depending on your symptoms, additional swabs and urine tests might be recommended.
Your privacy is of absolute importance to us. We offer multiple options for receiving your test results to ensure your comfort and confidentiality. You can choose to have a doctor call you with the results, receive them via email, or you can contact us yourself at your convenience. This flexibility allows you to select the method that best suits your preferences and ensures that your sensitive information is handled with the utmost care and discretion.
