Video is enough to work out what to test for and arrange home swabs or a blood-draw referral.
For a full panel with swabs and blood tests on the same visit — same-day appointments in Manchester.
A qualified GP talks you through what to test for, based on your history and any symptoms. Video or in-clinic.
Swabs, urine samples and blood tests for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis and others as appropriate. Samples are processed by UKAS-accredited labs; turnaround varies by test.
If symptoms strongly suggest a treatable infection, your GP can prescribe empirical treatment while tests come back. Partner-notification support provided.
Sexually transmitted infections are common and often have no symptoms — so testing is the only reliable way to know. Most are treatable, and many are curable with a single course of medication. Reasons to get tested:
Severe pelvic pain with fever can be pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which needs urgent treatment. If you have sudden severe pain, go to A&E or call 999.
Many genital symptoms have non-STI causes — thrush, BV, irritation, skin conditions. A GP can tell the difference and rule STIs in or out alongside other possibilities.
Yes. Book a same-day appointment, attend in clinic for sample collection (urine, swab or blood as needed) and your samples go to the lab the same day. For symptom-led visits we can talk through what you need, prescribe straight away if there's a clear bacterial picture, and run confirmatory tests in parallel.
It depends on your symptoms and what you'd like to screen for. A typical screen covers chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis; we add others (herpes, mycoplasma, hepatitis) when symptoms or risk profile suggest them. Your GP will explain which tests fit your situation at the appointment — no over-testing for the sake of it.
Turnaround depends on the lab and which tests are sent. Your GP will share the timeline at your appointment and contact you with the results and a clear next step — treatment if positive, reassurance and partner-notification advice where relevant.
Your appointment, samples and results stay within FastTrack — we don't share with your NHS GP unless you ask us to. Pay-as-you-go means no insurance trail. The clinic environment is discreet and bookings are by your name only.
For most bacterial STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea), treatment is a short antibiotic course prescribed and sent electronically to your pharmacy on the day we confirm the result. Viral STIs (herpes, HIV) are managed differently — your GP will explain the path, including any specialist referral, at the same call.
Yes — most STIs are silent in early stages. Routine screening every 6–12 months, after a new partner, or after unprotected sex is sensible. Symptom-free testing follows the same mechanic: book, attend for samples, get results within the lab's timeline.
Video or in-clinic, 15 minutes. Your GP takes a focused history, examines you, and explains what they think is going on.
Blood tests, swabs, urine samples or imaging — your GP arranges what fits and shares the timeline at the appointment.
Prescriptions sent electronically to your pharmacy after the call. Sick notes issued at the visit. Specialist referral letters written the same day when needed.
