About STI Tests
Some STIs don’t have any symptoms, so you may have an infection without even knowing it! This can be a problem as you can pass the infection on to a sexual partner without being aware. If an STI is not treated, you and/or your partner(s) could also end up with long term health issues. Getting regular sexual health check ups helps you to make sure you can feel safer and more confident in your sexual health.
A urine test can check for common infections such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Mycoplasma Genitalium.
For other bloodborne infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B&C, and Syphilis, you’ll need a blood test also.
Important: if you have symptoms suggestive of an STI or are feeling unwell, you will need in-person care. Go to your local doctor or sexual health clinic instead.
