You can also order a Home Blood Sampling Kit (STD home test) to screen for HIV, Hepatitis and Syphyllis.
Results come back by email or confidential text message. If the results are negative no further action is required and if they are positive then either private referral can be arranged or the patient can make their own arrangements via their GP or local NHS GUM Clinic.
At the moment you will need to arrange for someone to take your blood sample but new kits will be available soon that allow you to take a finger prick sample at home:-
-
Your local GP practice by your GP
-
Your GP’s Practice Nurse
-
A Local Private Clinic
-
A Local Private Hospital (eg SPIRE, Nuffield, BMI, Ramsay Healthcare)
Some clinics or hospitals offer a walk-in service.
A sample taking fee may be charged.
