Sexual Health (FAQs)
Get clear answers to common questions about sexual health testing — including how tests work, when to take them, result times, and what happens next.
Symptoms vary depending on the infection, and many people experience no symptoms at all.
Common symptoms may include:
- Unusual discharge
- Pain during sex or urination
- Sores, ulcers, blisters or rashes
- Itching or irritation
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Testicular pain
- Lumps or swelling in the groin
Even without symptoms, infections can still cause health complications and be passed on to others. Testing is the only reliable way to know for certain.
Learn more about STD symptoms in our blog: How long after sex do STI symptoms appear?
No STI test is accurate immediately after exposure.
Each infection has a “window period” — the time needed for it to become detectable. Testing before this period may result in a false negative.
Every test displays an “Accurate From” timeframe. If you test earlier, you may need to retest once the advised window period has passed.

Yes. Your Sexual Health provides a confidential service, with your test details shared only with the professionals involved in delivering your care, including our laboratory and, where relevant, the clinic carrying out your appointment. Your results are delivered securely through our online portal, which you can access using the login details created when you place your order.
If you require treatment following a positive result, we can arrange a free private GP consultation to discuss your result and the next steps. We will always ask for your permission before sharing your details with any partner medical provider.
Your results will not be added to your NHS medical records unless you specifically request this. We retain customer information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service and meet our legal obligations, after which it is securely deleted.
Yes. We can arrange a consultation with a private GP for any positive tests – free of charge. They can arrange prescriptions for you and provide advice on treatment, precautions, timelines, and follow-up tests.
No. Our service is completely confidential between Your Sexual Health, the clinic you choose, our laboratory, and yourself. Should your test return a positive result, we can refer you to our partner medical organisation for treatment and a consultation, so that you don’t need to tell your regular GP if you don’t want to.
No. Your test and results are not automatically added to your NHS medical record. We do not disclose your results to any third party. If you wish to share your results with your GP, this must be done at your request.
Yes. Our team of trained experts are on hand to explain your results and talk you through what they mean. If you require it, we can recommend an independent private GP to you at no extra cost.
Try to avoid having sex or practice safe sex. This should be done at all times, irrespective of your results. If you believe you have an STD, because you’ve got symptoms or because someone has told you that you might have caught it from them, then you should avoid having sex at all until you are all clear.
We cover all of the most common STDs with our extensive range of tests. Many of our tests cover multiple tests at once to give you peace of mind, while we also provide single STD tests if you know exactly what you’re testing for.
