How we test patients for sexually transmitted infections

We advise testing for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis. Some patients may need testing for other infections too.

Testing for HIV and syphilis requires a blood sample. Our staff are very skilled in performing blood tests.

For patients with symptoms, we will need to carry out a genital examination. You may find having a genital examination embarrassing, but our doctors and nurses are fully trained to make you feel comfortable. During the examination, we will take swabs for testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea.

Men without symptoms may provide us with urine sample for chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing. Women without symptoms may provide us with a self taken vaginal swab for chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing.
