What is the most convenient, accurate, embarrassment free and least stressful place to get tested for STIs?
The best place to go to is a genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinic. Staff are fully trained and friendly and there is no need to feel embarrassed as they are used to dealing with sexual health concerns all day, every day. You can be treated for all STI’s and you only need to pee in a pot or give a swab so it’s simple and painless. In South West London there are GUM clinics called ‘The Point’ which are only for under 18’s so you can choose one of these if you would rather only be there with people your own age. All ‘The Point’ clinics are drop-in so there’s no need to make an appointment and you can also get advice, free condoms and pregnancy testing as well if you want.
