About sti testing
In Chichester, a GP consultation, by video or in person, works out what testing you need based on your history and symptoms. That may mean swabs, urine samples or blood tests, covering chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis and other infections as needed. Samples are processed by UKAS-accredited labs, and where symptoms strongly suggest a treatable infection, treatment can start while results come back. Full detail is on /conditions/sti/.
About STIs
STIs — sexually transmitted infections — pass between people through sexual contact, and a lot of the time cause no noticeable symptoms, which is exactly why regular testing matters. Where symptoms do show up, they can include unusual discharge, pain passing urine, genital sores or rashes, and lower abdominal or pelvic pain. Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and genital herpes are among the most common, and each is tested and treated differently.
What happens in the appointment
In Chichester, an STI testing appointment starts with a confidential review of your history and symptoms, by video or in person.
Cost and booking
A booked appointment in Chichester costs £125 — no subscription, and free to cancel up to 24 hours ahead.
Seek urgent care if you have
- Severe pelvic pain with fever (possible PID)

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.
