Public Health England has released new dataabout sexual health in the UK. These data revealed that there is a high rise of STDs again. This increase is about 5% compared to the diagnosis of last year and 2017. This news is not all bad since there is also a higher number of diagnoses that correlate with the rise in the number of people getting tested for sexual health disease and receiving treatment.
Despitethis, since about 500,000 people tested positive for STIs in 2018, it means that there is room for significant improvement, seeing the increase in awareness about safer sex practices. At the sexual health clinic inLondon, we offer reliable, fast and pain-free same day STI testing. Our specialities aresexual health, and we have years of experience doing the job. Now, we offer you an even faster result and a shorter windowalongside our competitive prices.
Commonly,we are asked questions about the window period for testing STIs. This means that many people want to know how long they have to wait after being involved in unprotected sex to get tested for STI.
HIV has a window period offour to six weeks. But now, you only have to wait just 10 days before getting tested with our new early detection test. This new test is called HIV RNA EarlyDetectionTest and offers very accurate results which are usually available in 4 to 6 working hours. This means that when you get tested, you will receive your result on the same day.
Amongst all the new statistics,therising number for gonorrhoea is more alarming. The increase in this diagnosis is about 26%. Nearly half of these diagnoses were found in men that have sex with men (MSM). So,If you are among this group, ensure you get regularly tested.Also,we would love you to know that there has been a record of multi-drug resistance exhibited by gonorrhoea. This means that some strains of the disease are not treatable with the traditional antibiotics we call “Super Gonorrhoea.”
4 to 6 hours is the time you have to wait to get your gonorrhoea results from us. On the same day, you can get a prescription. So, if you suspect gonorrhoea or any sexually transmitted infection,tryas much as you can to contact and meet with us.
