About sti testing
In St John's Wood, 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. Labs are UKAS-accredited, and treatment can be arranged while you wait for results if symptoms point clearly to a treatable infection. See /conditions/sti/ for more.
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
