STI Home Testing Kits
It may be possible to offer you a home testing kit. Please call the appointment line below.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea home testing kits
When you call the receptionist will ask if your partners are male, female or both. This is so that we know what testing kit to send you.
Window period of 14 days
It is important to remember that there is a testing 'window period' for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea which is 14 days. This means Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea may not be picked up in a test which is taken within 14 days of contracting the infection. It is recommended therefore that you wait for 14 days after a sexual contact that you are concerned about, and then take the test.
Phone us if you have symptoms
If you have painful or distressing symptoms or have been told that you may have been in contact with an infection please call to arrange a telephone consultation with a nurse.
