Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), also known as STIs, are unwanted infections or diseases that are contracted in a number of ways, including vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex, through blood contamination and even skin to skin contact. People of all ages can contract them, and it’s even common among individuals having sex for the first time, especially when they haven’t been given the right type of sexual health advice.
The negative connotations that arise because of the stigma around STDs mean many people avoid STI testing. Many STDs do not show obvious symptoms in the early stages, so regular testing is important even if you do not have STI symptoms. So, if you have an active sex life and wish to remain sexually active without presenting a risk to others, then it’s important to ensure you undergo regular sexual health testing at Broadgate GP.
Here at Broadgate GP, we offer discreet and 100% confidential sexual health testing from our fully equipped private sexual health clinic located in London, near Liverpool Street. Undertaking regular STI testing can ensure that you have a clean bill of health while tackling any sexual health concerns you may have. With all STI tests carried out at our sexual health clinic, you’ll be in the safe hands of a professional doctor.
Untreated STIs can lead to serious health risks, with infertility being common in untreated cases of several different STDs, such as Chlamydia, HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, or even Ureaplasma. Should you be displaying any unusual symptoms after sexual intercourse, or if you’re simply wanting to get checked, then be sure to book your private STI testing at Broadgate GP or use our STD testing service at our walk-in clinic. If you would like more information about the warning signs of STIs check out our blog on the subject, as well as several other useful blogs, including Pregnancy Planning with HIV and What You Should Know About Ureaplasma.

Preparing for STD testing is straightforward, but following your healthcare provider’s instructions is key to obtaining reliable results. For blood tests, you may be asked to fast for a certain period or avoid specific medications, depending on the type of test. If a urine test is required, it’s often recommended not to urinate for at least one to two hours before your appointment to ensure a sufficient sample. Being open about your sexual history and any risk factors allows your healthcare provider to recommend the most appropriate testing and treatment options for your situation. By preparing properly and sharing relevant information, you help ensure that your tests are accurate and that you receive the best possible care for your sexual health.
There’s a reason we’re one of the leading private sexual health clinics in the UK, and that is for the way we undertake our STI testing, tackle sexual health problems, and ensure that all of our services are handed delicately. That being said, there are some instances when it is highly recommended that information being shared outside of you and your doctor is important for health, safety, or even legal reasons. This can include allowing us to inform previous partners about your STD so that they can get tested and treated, or even in cases where the person with an STD is underage. These are rare instances so you can rest assured that your private medical information will remain just that – private. Have you recently tested positive for an STD and you’re unsure how to approach your partner about it? Check out our blog – full of tips about Telling Your Partner About an STD for expert advice.

STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease, which is a disease that is spread through sexual behavior like vaginal intercourse, oral sex, anal sex or sometimes intimate skin-to-skin contact. Some types of STDs are Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Herpes, HPV and HIV.
There is no way to know for sure without being tested. Many STDs don’t have obvious symptoms. Being sexually active can include vaginal intercourse, anal and/or oral sex. When doctors or nurses ask this question, they are really asking if you’ve done anything since your last check up that might have exposed you to an STD or pregnancy. STD tests should be part of your regular check-up. But, if you have any concerns at all that you may have been exposed to an STD, see a doctor and ask to be tested.
Once you arrive at Broadgate GP you’ll be seen by either a doctor or a nurse. If you require a blood sample you’ll be taken to a consulting room and they will draw blood. For urine samples you’ll be given a container and offered instructions for use. Swab samples may be taken by the medical professional or by the patient depending on a number of factors.
Once your results come through you’ll be notified there and then. In the event of a positive test you’ll be contacted by one of our professional health consultants to arrange a follow-up telephone consultation and to arrange your prescription.
We understand that sexual health testing is a very personal service and often requires absolute confidentiality. At Broadgate GP our clinic operates an appointment system, which means you won’t be waiting in a waiting room for any longer than you want to.
This will minimise the likelihood of seeing someone in there that you know. In addition to that the fact that when you get tested at one of our clinics no one has to know the reason for your visit other than the clinic and yourself. That’s because, unlike NHS GUM Clinics which only do sexual health services, the clinics that we use offer a range of different services.
You can attend Broadgate GP for tests if you think you might have a STI, whether or not you have symptoms (such as a discharge form your penis or vagina). You can also attend the clinic to be tested for HIV or for a routine sexual health check-up.
