At Sallins Medical Centre, we offer a full screening service for sexually transmitted infections. Unfortunately there are a large number of such infections in circulation, many of which can be picked up easily by men or women. These include: Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, genital warts, hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis, herpes. In many cases you may not even know you are infected so therefore can pass on an infection to a partner without realising it.

A morning appointment is preferable so samples reach the lab in good time.

This service is beneficial whether you have symptoms of infection, or if you and your partner simply want to know you are both free of infection.

You may find it easier to come for such testing in the privacy of a GP surgery rather than a busy public STI clinic. This service can be provided for females at the same time as a smear test (if due) but please mention this in advance.
