STD testing | Sexual Health Tests London | Harley Street Health Centre

Sexual health testing is one of our specialisms and we have helped people gain peace of mind and treatment since 1998. We have two sexual health specialist nurses and knowledgeable GPs who can recommend the right testing for you at the right time.

For peace of mind regarding your sexual health, our full sexual health package is a comprehensive screening covering all of the major and most common sexually transmitted diseases, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, Hepatitis B and C, syphilis, and HIV.

The test package includes an examination and consultation with one of our experienced sexual health professionals, who will interpret your results and organise any prescriptions or treatments you may need.

We also offer a range of add-on swabs that your doctor or nurse might recommend if you are symptomatic or have specific concerns.

When should I get tested?

It is always recommended that you have a full sexual health screening if you are noticing symptoms, or if you have a new sexual partner. You may also want to have the test if you have had sex with someone who has been diagnosed with an STI, or if you have any other concerns about your sexual health. If you have multiple partners, it is recommended that you get tested every three to six months as a safety measure.

What does the test include?

The Comprehensive Sexual Health Screen includes a blood test (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C) and urine test (chlamydia and gonorrhoea).

What to Expect

ONLINE
BOOKING

Step 1

Preparing for test

Please arrive well-hydrated to ensure ease of taking your blood sample, and with a full bladder. For women, it is advised that you do not book the test on a day when you have your period.

Step 2

During the test

Your test involves a consultation with an experienced sexual health professional, who will ask you about your medical and sexual history, and discuss the various testing options with you. They will ask you questions about contraception, your sexual partners and practices, and other questions about your sex life. We observe a strict confidentiality policy, and all of the information given during your visit will be treated with the utmost care. No personal details or test results will be shared with anyone outside of the sexual health service without your permission. After the consultation, an examination will be performed, and your blood, urine, and swab samples were taken.

Step 3

Results

It is entirely up to you how you want to receive your results. You can receive a telephone call from the doctor who examined you, or they can be sent by email. You can also have them in hard copy through the post, or come in to collect them in person.

FAQs

I am not experiencing symptoms, why do I need to get a sexual health check?

Not all STDs present with symptoms. Chlamydia, for example, one of the more common infections, can develop in the body without any symptoms at all, but if it is left untreated, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which scars the fallopian tubes and can cause infertility.

I am experiencing some sexual symptoms, but I’d rather not get tested. Is there a chance they will clear up on their own?

If you have contracted an STD, you will need to have medical treatment, usually in the form of antibiotics, to clear it up. Unlike cervical cell changes, for example, which sometimes clear up on their own, infections only get worse.

Does my partner need to be tested?

If it has been some time since you or your partner have been tested, or if either of you is noticing symptoms, it is recommended that you both have a sexual health screen.

I would absolutely recommend this clinic for PCR tests. I needed one within 96 hours before my departure and the clinic sent the result in less than 30 hours after my appointment! Getting my results earlier than expected was a huge relief and put my mind at ease.The staff were professional, polite, speedy and efficient. The clinic was very clean and covid-19 measures were in place. Also, booking an appointment on their website and accessing the result was easy too. Should I need more travel documents in the future, I'd definitely come back here.

Made a morning appointment for a COVID-19 PCR Test (tested Thursday) and a result was emailed to me in less than 30 hours which given that some countries now require a test within 72 hours was exactly the service I needed. Staff were professional and well organised, the three members of the team here were polite, courteous and very speedy about the whole process.I would definitely recommend this clinic for travel documents

I needed a negative RT-PCR test to show I didn't have COVID-19 for my holiday. I had to do this within 7 days of flying and was worried in case the test did not come back in time. I repeatedly tried to schedule an appointment with other clinics offering this service and found they were not taking bookings far enough in advance and/or taking an age to answer their phones. I was able to speak to someone for advice at the Harley St Health Centre and then book a slot online for first thing on the Monday before my Saturday flight and best of all received the results in just a little over 24 hours.

I couldn’t ask for better care. I had my consultation with James Walton who’s been since the beginning very kind and helpful and in a few days I got my hair transplant done. The staff who’s been taking care of me is very professional and friendly and I truly recommend it to everyone who’s considering to get an hair transplant. It was more easy and efficient then I thought

I received simply mind-blowing service from this clinic when I went to them to receive a COVID-19 antibody test. First of all, they were offering the test at a third of the price asked by pretty much all the other private clinics in London, and NHS members would have an additional 50% discount. I could quickly book an appointment online and get a visit one or two days later. The clinic is nice and welcoming, with two competent receptionists: after a short wait a really nice nurse explained to me the various aspects related to the test and applied it to me. 15 minutes later I had a positive result for IgG antibodies, although the result line was a bit faint. The nurse assured me that this still meant I was positive to antibodies, but I was still somewhat dubious, so after going online for answers and getting confused by differing opinions, I wrote to the clinic to get a confirmation. The clinic director went to absolutely unprecedented lengths to reassure me, indicating me the brand of the tests they used, the accuracy rate that had been measured, and confirming the fact that a faint result was still a result.He didn't stop there, though, and invited me for a retest a few weeks later for piece of mind: in the meantime the test accuracy had been also certified by the Pasteur institute in Paris. I was tested by a different nurse who was also extremely nice and professional, clearly caring about myself not being scared by the needle and engaging in pleasant chat to distract me.

The best private GP in London. Beautiful & clean clinic. Very professional doctors and helpful staff. Found the Harley Street Health centre clinic because my hands and feet were itchy every night once I gone to bed. I have booked a next day appointment and got seen by the very lovely Dr Sabina. Done couple of blood tests (received the results in just 12hrs) and have been diagnosed. Now on medication for couple of weeks.But feel so much better. No more itching. :)

Excellent service and easy to book. I needed to see a GP quickly and the one I have seen was very professional, helpful and friendly. A caring & experienced Dr is hard to find, so I intend to use them in the future as well.

I know that Freddie Mercury got diagnosed with AIDS here back in 1987 just 4 years before his death

Loved the fact that they are very discreet and professional. I got seen by a very friendly doctor who I felt I can trust with my health concern. Got my results & treatment, and happy to say that I feel like brand new. :)

An excellent team of caring staff in a beautiful, professional environment. The doctor I saw was non-judgmental (despite my very subtle and weird symptoms), helpful, and I felt genuinely well taken care of and in good hands. My test results also came back in lighting time and I received a call the minute they were ready. The doctor's advice contributed to my condition improving very quickly. Highly recommend this place!
