Sexually transmitted infections are very common in young people and increasingly common throughout the lives of any sexually active adult. Testing is the only way to be confident you and your partner(s) are safe.

infections tested for are chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and syphilis which are the commonest sexually transmitted infections.

It is estimated that 1 in 10 sexually active young people have a chlamydia infection.

Many men do not have any symptoms at all for the infections being tested although in some there is pain on urination, discharge and other symptoms.

Whether there are symptoms or not, the potential for serious harm is very high with all the conditions tested for. They can cause infertility, very painful prostatitis and  epididymitis, liver failure and unfortunately, even death.

Many people choose to test when starting a serious relationship or at regular intervals.

Testing is essential to keep you safe.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Chlamydia PCR, HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies + p24 Antigen, Hepatitis C Antibody, N. Gonorrhoea PCR, Syphilis (Treponoma) IgG/IgM, Hepatitis B Surface antigen
