There are range of reasons why people decide to take an STD test. It's always good for your long-term sexual health to get tested regularly. Here's why: -
  • In 2017 there were 422,000 diagnoses of STDs in England alone. That means 8% of the population had an STD at some stage during that year
  • If you don't get tested and identify the STI early it is more likely to have a long-term and lasting impact on your reproductive and overall health
  • Certain STDs such as chlamydia, herpes and gonorrhoea can impact pregnancy and fertility
  • STDs are contagious and you are likely to pass it on to your sexual partners if you're unaware you're infected
  • The only way to know you have an STD is through testing as many STIs show no symptoms most of the time

The length of time it takes for you to receive your test results depends on the test that you have taken. Some tests offer results straight away whilst others have up to a 5 day turnaround time. You can find out the turnaround times for each of our tests displayed on the main test page or the clinic pages.
