Health Tests at our Sexual Health Clinic

Our std clinic offers free and confidential Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea postal testing service for people aged 16 to 24 years.

NHS STI Clinics

There are a number of drop-in clinics across the UK, all testing centres are confidential and you won’t need to let your GP know of your visit. It’s important to know that there’s no need to feel embarrassed, staff are trained to treat lots of different infections and are non-judgemental. Sexual health is extremely important, to find your nearest sexual health clinic, visit the NHS website.

The type of tests they carry out include:

  • Urine sample
  • Blood tests
  • Swabs from the urethra
