Sexual Health Screen

Anyone who is sexually active should get tested for sexually transmitted infections at least once a year.

Certain groups of people are at particularly high risk and are advised to have more regular tests :-

• men who have sex with men are advised to test every 3 months if they're having unprotected sex with new or casual partners
• black African men and women are advised to have a regular HIV test and STI screen if they're having unprotected sex with new or casual partners
• people who share needles, syringes or other injecting equipment

Testing at the start of a sexual relationship as part of a full sexual health check is recommended, especially if you plan on not using condoms. Also, a negative test result in the past is no longer accurate if you've taken risks since. 

You will receive your test results within 4-5 working days of your test kit samples reaching the lab.

As soon as the lab has your test results you will be notified by your chosen method, email or SMS.  There will not be any detail in this message, it will simply ask you to login to your WebMed account; using your secure password. When you have logged in you will find your confidential test results.
