STI screening

We offer tests of chlamydia and gonorrhoea and other infections. Please ask at reception for kits. You can do the test at home, then bring your sample to reception. This will be sent to the hospital for analysis.

FEMALES

You will need to do vaginal self-swabs. The instructions are here:

vaginal-self-swabDOWNLOAD


After taking each sample you will need to break the swab at the marked line and put the cotton wool end into the test tube.

Remember to write your name, NHS number and date of birth on the tubes or they will not be analysed by the laboratory.

We can also do blood tests for HIV and syphillis. Please speak to a doctor if you would like these tests.

To get your results see this page.
