Sexual health support

What happens at a sexual health clinic

A doctor or nurse:

• will ask you some questions about your sex life
• may ask to take a look at your genitals or anus
• will tell you what tests they think you need

Some clinics offer home testing kits for some STIs.

If tests show you have an STI, you should tell your sexual partner and any ex-partners so they can get tested and treated as well.

If you don't want to do this, the clinic can usually do it for you without naming you.
