STD Test London: Summertime Blues

July 28th, 2011

Are you more likely to pick up an infection in the summer? Get an STD test in London today.

Summer is the time when we feel laid-back and chilled-out. It’s when we take our well-earned rest and, for many, it’s when we pick up a sexually transmitted infection. Unfortunately, despite governments and health organisations trying to raise awareness of STDs and the damage they can do, the number of young people becoming infected is rising, which is why it’s important that you take an STD test.

London has the facilities

If you’re worried that you may have picked up an infection, either from a holiday abroad or from a relationship you’re having at home, get an STD test. London has a number of clinics where you can get tested in a comfortable and confidential environment. Find a clinic near to where you work and you can take the test in your lunch hour or before or after work. This lets you fit the test into your day, at your convenience and without the hassle of getting time off work. London clinics like CityDoc can test for:

  • Genital warts
  • Hepatitis B and C
  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhoea
  • Herpes
  • HIV

In addition to these STD tests, London clinics can help with cervical smears, erection problems and other sexual health issues. Treatment is offered and on-site pharmacies mean that you can start to recover as soon as possible. Leaving STDs untested and untreated could lead to serious problems later on – and you could be passing on the infection to everyone you have intimate sexual contact with.

STD test – London residents walk in

Walk-in surgeries let you get your STD test with the minimum of fuss and embarrassment. Summer can see a rise in STDs simply because we feel more relaxed and are less likely to keep track of our sexual health. This is when it’s most important, however, particularly if you are anticipating having several partners over the summer months, because they can endanger your health and you can endanger theirs. Take the sensible step of getting an STD test in London as soon as possible so that you can enjoy the weather and your social life with confidence.
