What Is Sexual Health and STI Testing?

Sexual health is an important part of overall wellbeing. STI testing is a routine medical check that helps detect infections early often before symptoms develop so they can be treated promptly and safely.

During a consultation, a may discuss symptoms, risk factors and testing options to develop a personalised screening plan. Common tests can identify infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B or C.

Regular STI screening is recommended for sexually active adults. Testing is simple and private, usually involving a urine sample, blood test or swab.

What to Expect During Your GP Appointment
