About sti testing
In Farnham, a GP consultation, by video or in person, works out what testing you need based on your history and 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
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 Farnham, an STI testing appointment starts with a confidential review of your history and symptoms, by video or in person.
Cost and booking
In Farnham, appointments are £125 each, with no ongoing subscription and free cancellation with 24 hours' notice.
Seek urgent care if you have
