Hereford Sexual Health Clinic FAQs

When visiting a Your Sexual Health clinic you'll be guaranteed a straightforward, discreet and convenient service. Once your appointment is confirmed, you simply need to arrive at the clinic so that we can collect your sample. This will either be a urine, blood or swab sample. The doctor, nurse or phlebotomist will draw the blood using a needle, but they will leave you to collect a urine sample in the clinic toilets before handing it back to them. Swab samples may be collected by our medical professionals or by you depending on the situation.

Once this is taken care of, you're free to leave. We'll send the samples to the laboratory and notify you of your results by either telephone or email.

We offer various methods of sexual health assessments that don’t require a blood test, however, some viruses propagate through the blood and it is, therefore, necessary to carry out blood tests to give a full health assessment.

We carry out blood tests to screen for:

  • Herpes (Simplex I & II)
  • HIV
  • Syphilis
  • Hepatitis B & C
  • Genital Herpes

The STD that is most often dormant is genital herpes. Many people have the virus (HSV) but aren’t aware. It affects people through the mucus membranes in their skin and can often never cause any visible problems in humans.

Chlamydia is sometimes also known as the “silent infection” as some people never experience symptoms. Some chlamydia symptoms such as burning during urination can be missed or even confused with a UTI. If chlamydia isn’t detected and treated in time, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to permanent damage to reproductive organs and infertility.
