Sexual Health (FAQs)
Get clear answers to common questions about sexual health testing — including how tests work, when to take them, result times, and what happens next.
Symptoms vary depending on the infection, and many people experience no symptoms at all.
Common symptoms may include:
- Unusual discharge
- Pain during sex or urination
- Sores, ulcers, blisters or rashes
- Itching or irritation
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Testicular pain
- Lumps or swelling in the groin
Even without symptoms, infections can still cause health complications and be passed on to others. Testing is the only reliable way to know for certain.

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.
No STI test is accurate immediately after exposure.
Each infection has a “window period” — the time needed for it to become detectable. Testing before this period may result in a false negative.
Every test displays an “Accurate From” timeframe. If you test earlier, you may need to retest once the advised window period has passed.

Try to avoid having sex or practice safe sex. This should be done at all times, irrespective of your results. If you believe you have an STD, because you’ve got symptoms or because someone has told you that you might have caught it from them, then you should avoid having sex at all until you are all clear.
We cover all of the most common STDs with our extensive range of tests. Many of our tests cover multiple tests at once to give you peace of mind, while we also provide single STD tests if you know exactly what you’re testing for.
