Common STI symptoms include:

• pain when you pass urine (pee) 
• itching, burning or tingling around the genitals 
• new discharge from the genitals or anus
• blisters, sores, spots or lumps around the genitals or anus
• bleeding between periods or after sex
• pain during sex
• lower abdominal pain
• rash over the body with flu like symptoms

However, it is important to remember that some people experience no symptoms when they have an STI. That's why regular testing is so important.

If you don’t have symptoms it can sometimes be better to wait to test as it can take time for your body to show signs of infection and for it to show up in our tests. Please consider the information below before taking a test. If it's done too early it may not be accurate.

• It can take two weeks after sex, for chlamydia and gonorrhoea to show up on a test
• An HIV test is highly accurate 45 days (about 6 weeks) after sex
• Syphilis can take up to 12 weeks to show up on a test after sex

If you have no symptoms and have consulted the information above, you can book a test online here.

If you have symptoms or have been in contact with an infection it is important to be seen as soon as possible. Please call us on 0141 211 8130 to make an appointment.

If you are worried about the risk of HIV exposure in the last 72 hours please ring us on 0141 211 8130 as you may need treatment, PEP, to prevent infection.

It’s a good idea for everyone who is sexually active to book a test for STIs and HIV once a year, whether you have one partner or more than one partner.

If you are changing partners, it’s advised to test at least every six months. Some people (listed below) should consider testing more often such as every 3 months.

• people with high numbers of sexual partners
• those using PrEP
• gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) who are changing partners
• people involved in the commercial sex industry 

Our Time Sensitive Health Care page has info on when you need to test sooner. 

For those 16 and over without symptoms you can book an STI test online. You will be given the choice of coming into one of our clinics to do an Express Test or being sent an At Home Self-Sampling Kit to send back to us. Your online booking can be cancelled and rescheduled online, too.

For those over 16 with symptoms, we advise you to please call us to book your appointment as soon as possible. This is because you will need a consultation with a doctor to discuss any treatment.

This will depend on what you are being tested for and if you have any symptoms.

Express Tests and Self-Sampling Kits

If you have no symptoms you can book an Express Test as you don't need to have a full consultation with clinical staff. At this appointment you take your own urine and/or swab sample for testing for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. Clinical staff will take your blood for HIV & Syphilis.  

If you just want to test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, you can also opt to have an At-Home Self-Sampling Kit sent out to you. You complete this yourself by following an instruction booklet and sending it back to us for testing. There is a limited supply of kits, if there are no kits available try again another day. 

If you have symptoms, please book an in-person appointment so you can be seen by a clinician.

Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are tested for by swabs or urine sample. If you have no symptoms you can take this swab yourself. The tests are very easy to do. Please read our guidance on this here (the tests are done the same way whether opting for an At-Home Kit or coming to an Express Test appointment).

HIV and Syphilis are tested for by taking a blood sample, which will be done by a clinician.
