About sti testing
A confidential consultation in Exeter — by video or in clinic — covers what to test for, based on your history and any symptoms. Depending on your situation, testing might involve swabs, urine or blood samples for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis and more. 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
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections passed on through sexual contact, and many cause no obvious symptoms at all, which is why regular testing matters even without symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can include unusual discharge, pain when urinating, genital sores or rashes, and pelvic or lower abdominal pain. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and genital herpes, each with different tests and treatments.
