You’re guaranteed confidentiality when you come for STD testing at London’s Moorgate Medical.

Embarrassment is one of the main reasons why many people fail to arrange STD testing, even if they believe they may have been exposed to infection. They fear that they will be labelled promiscuous or careless and judged by the medical professionals they are seeking help from.

It’s clear, however, that the problems and potential dangers faced by those who have sexually transmitted diseases outweigh the potential embarrassment of simple STD testing. London, like all other capital cities, has a high incidence of STD transmission and it pays to get yourself and your partner checked out if either of you have ever had unprotected sex. Not only will it set your mind at rest, but quick treatment of any disease that’s discovered could prevent problems later in life.

Getting STD testing in London

Most people don’t want to ask their GPs for STD testing, either because they know the staff in the surgery well, or they are worried about STD information going onto their medical records. Fortunately, it is possible to get STD testing in London and around the country by going to a specialist STD clinic. Clinics like Moorgate Medical operate on a confidential, walk-in basis, which means that you don’t usually need to make an appointment, and that we don’t need to know who you really are. We don’t need your medical records, so you can give a false name if it makes you feel more comfortable. We’ve designed our service to make life as easy for you as possible, including:

• Complete confidentiality
• Fast results – just 3-4 hours by phone or in person
• Comfortable waiting areas and consultation rooms
• Onward referrals to specialists if necessary
• Plenty of information and advice if you need it
• Experienced and sympathetic medical staff

So, if you’re worried that you might have an STD or you think you’ve been exposed to infection through a new partner, rest assured that you can access full STD testing at London’s only City-based medical practice. You can walk-in at your convenience, or phone ahead and make an appointment – whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
