STD Testing
There is no need to do swab tests. Men and women may have STD Tests done on urine samples if they prefer. The Umbrella Test is an urban myth which does not exist (Bradbeer et al; BMJ 2006; 333: 1287-1288).
Our testing is fully confidential and real names do not have to be given. You do not have to give your address or phone number and we do not contact you or your GP unless you request us to do so. The tests and their results do not go on to any central medical record.
We can prescribe antibiotics at the first visit for patients with symptoms or those in high risk situations, but we would also send away samples for testing.
We have male and female Doctors. A chaperone is always available.
If you are concerned about your sexual health, simply phone and book a consultation or feel free to walk in to our GUM Clinic. We are able to see most patients within 15 minutes.
