GUM Clinics Belfast

Your Sexual Health has multiple private STD clinics in and around Belfast. Our clinic in Belfast Central is on Howard Street, close to Great Victoria Street train station and other local amenities in the city centre.

We have another sexual health clinic just outside Belfast city centre close to Balmoral train station and Musgrave Park Hospital. Our Balmoral clinic is easy to access via road from the city centre via the A1.

Our private STD clinic in Lisburn is located near Hillsborough Medical Practice, accessible via bus. There is a public car park a short walk away, and the nearby A1 provides easy access to and from Belfast city centre.

Once your sample has been deposited at one of our GUM clinics in Belfast, it will be sent by Royal Mail 1st Class post to the nearest laboratory. Here it will be tested using the highest possible standards of medical accuracy available anywhere in the UK. Once we learn your results we’ll notify you using your preferred contact method and we will then upload them to our secure portal.

In the unfortunate event that your results come back positive, these can be discussed and actioned by your own GP.  We can also recommend an independent private GP service if you prefer who can discuss your circumstances and manage further as required. This service will be free of charge to you. We’re the only online private STD testing provider to offer this level of service.

You should get tested for STDs for peace of mind that you do not currently carry infection, and you aren’t at risk of passing it to anyone else. There are also several other reasons to get tested:

• Encourage a healthy pregnancy if you are trying for a baby or are about to start IVF treatment
• To support your VISA application if you’re moving to a country that requires an HIV-free certification
• Ensure you don’t pass on infections to new sexual partners
• To make sure you are not an asymptomatic carrier of an STD currently that could cause harm if left untreated

Every sexually transmitted infection will affect each patient in a different way and indeed many they not experience any symptoms at all. For this reason, the most effective way to know if you have an STI is to get tested. However, some common symptoms may include: 

• Discharge from your penis, vagina or anus
• Pain whilst urinating
• Lower abdominal pains
• Rashes, blisters or sores affecting your genital area
• Blood in between periods for women

If you notice any of these symptoms it’s important that you are tested or seek medical help immediately. Get in touch with our team if you need help choosing the right sexual health test.
