Sexual health checks and STI infections

Self-test kits for chlamydia and syphilis are a convenient and private way to check for a sexually transmitted infection (STI), but your doctor and local sexual health clinic have access to a much wider range of tests which are free of charge. Always speak with your doctor or local sexual health clinic if you are concerned about your symptoms.

Let's make self-testing better

Our tests are based on the same principles used by hospital labs, and provide reliable, meaningful results, but self-testing is not meant to replace established NHS healthcare pathways. Always consider what a positive or negative result will mean to you before testing, and be aware of the limitations of the test you are using.
