We offer a full screening service for sexually transmitted infections in the practice (STI Screening).
Unfortunately there are a large number of such infections in circulation, many of which can be picked up easily.
They include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, genital warts, trichomonas, hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis, herpes.
In many cases you may not even know you are infected so therefore can pass on an infection to a partner without realising it.
A morning appointment is preferable so that samples reach the lab in good time.
This service is beneficial whether you have symptoms of infection (these include discharge, pain, lumps, sores, burning on passing urine), or if you and your partner simply want to know you are both free of infection.
We realise this is a sensitive subject so we provide the service with discretion and confidentiality.
You may find it easier to come for such testing in the privacy of a GP surgery rather than a busy public STI clinic in a hospital.
Please contact reception to book.
