FAQs

There are range of reasons why people decide to take an STD test. It's always good for your long-term sexual health to get tested regularly. Here's why: -
  • In 2017 there were 422,000 diagnoses of STDs in England alone. That means 8% of the population had an STD at some stage during that year
  • If you don't get tested and identify the STI early it is more likely to have a long-term and lasting impact on your reproductive and overall health
  • Certain STDs such as chlamydia, herpes and gonorrhoea can impact pregnancy and fertility
  • STDs are contagious and you are likely to pass it on to your sexual partners if you're unaware you're infected
  • The only way to know you have an STD is through testing as many STIs show no symptoms most of the time

You would want to go to a sexual health clinic if you are concerned about your sexual health. This concern can stem from having had protected or unprotected sex or if you are exhibiting signs of an STI. You may also consider going to a clinic if you are starting up with a new partner and you wish to preserve both your and their sexual health by being screened.

The length of time that it takes to receive your results depends on a number of factors, including the test that you choose, the clinic you choose, and your appointment time and day.  All laboratory turnaround times are stated on the test cards. This states the time it takes to turnaround the sample from when it’s received by the laboratory.  You can find out the turnaround time that the test will take in total on our appointment booking page which factors in the time it takes for the sample to be received by the laboratory from when it is sent from the clinic. For home tests you will need to factor in the time it takes for you to receive the sample collection kit which is sent using Royal Mail First Class Post.

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.

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.
