Booking an STD test today could have a long-term impact on your health.

If you’ve had a recent sexual experience that you’re worried about, or if you’ve got the symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease, you should be booking an STD test. London is a vibrant city, and one-off sexual encounters are par for the course, but you should be doing as much as you can to protect yourself from potential long-term damage.

Why STDs can be bad for your health

There’s an embarrassment factor surrounding STD tests, from London to Sydney. It’s a fact, however, that some STDs are becoming increasingly common and, if ignored can have a potentially devastating effect later in life. What’s more, if you have an undiagnosed STD, the chances are that you will pass it onto your next sexual partner – whether short or long-term – which in turn could be damaging for them. Untreated STDs can cause:

• Infertility in men and women
• Danger of ectopic pregnancies in women
• Inflamation of the testicles
• Fever-like symptoms
• Fatal infections

Whilst some of the more extreme reactions are rare, they are always possible. Taking an STD test at London’s Moorgate Medical clinic will give you the opportunity to identify and treat any STDs you may have contracted so that you can get on with your life without worrying.
