What Should You Expect From a Sexual Health Clinic in Newcastle
Once you’ve booked your Newcastle clinic appointment and chosen a time suitable for you, you can visit our clinic where a nurse practitioner will take your sample. Our clinics offer a relaxed setting to deposit your sample with no busy clinic waiting rooms. In addition, because our clinics are all general health clinics, no one will know why you’re attending. When your sample has been collected, it will be sent to our nearest laboratory in the North East, and your results will be sent to you within a few days.
Sexual Health FAQs
If you want to find out more about STDs, common symptoms, and the testing process, view our frequently asked questions below. Alternatively, get in touch with our customer service team who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
No STD test is accurate immediately after potential exposure to a sexually transmitted infection. For our tests to be accurate, we require the virus or bacteria to multiply within your body to a detectable level or they require your body to create antibodies in response to the STD.
The time that this takes is known as the window period for testing. This period varies depending on the test that you’re taking with details displayed as ‘Accurate From’ on the test pages and cards. The only exception to these times is if you have clear and obvious symptoms of an STD in your genital area.
The symptoms of STDs will vary between the infections you may have. However, common symptoms include:
- Burning, tingling, or itching around the genital or anus area
- Bleeding or ‘spotting’ between periods
- Abdominal pain
- Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
- Painful open sores or blisters
Keep in mind that STDs can also be asymptomatic, which means they may not show any symptoms. To be 100% sure of your sexual health status, you should get a comprehensive screening after every sexual partner, or at least every six months.
Yes, you can. Our sexual health clinics in Cardiff offer STD testing options that can be completed using a urine sample or a blood sample from your arm, neither of which will be affected by your period. Find out more about testing for an STD whilst on your period in our recent blog post.
Everyone has their own reasons for getting tested, here are just some of the reasons that might encourage you to get tested:
- Starting a new relationship and you want to ensure you’re all clear
- If you’ve had a one night stand but didn’t use a condom
- General peace of mind testing if you’ve had more than one sexual partner in the previous year
- Before beginning IVF or if you’re trying for a baby
