If you’re looking for a regular STI check-up, you don’t need an appointment. Order an STI test kit to use at home, or walk into 56 Dean Street to pick one up from reception.
You only need to an appointment if you have been in contact with STIs or you have symptoms. Most results are texted within 24 hours.
Window periods
An STI test may miss an infection that has been caught very recently. This is called the ‘window period’. If you’ve been exposed to an infection, we will offer you treatment at your booked appointment if we see you during this window period. Otherwise, we’ll wait for the results.
