Stay in control of your health with STD testing at London’s Moorgate Medical.

You are in charge of your body. From eating properly and exercising to making sure you’re free from sexually transmitted infections, you are in control. How is it then, that so many people put off STD testing, or ignore the problem altogether, when infection can have such a long-term effect on your health?

The benefits of STD testing

London has a huge population and it’s a fair bet that a high proportion of its residents that are sexually active are carrying a sexually transmitted disease of one sort or another. You don’t have to be promiscuous to have an STD – you can have unprotected oral sex with someone and pick up an infection – and you don’t have to be a binge-drinking, one-night-stand teenager; STDs can occur in anyone of any age who is in a physical relationship.

STD testing is the only way to be sure whether you are carrying an infection or not, and allows you to get the best treatment so that you can avoid any long-term damage, which can include infertility in both men and women. The benefits of using the STD testing service at Moorgate Medical include:

• Confidentiality – we know you might be worried or embarrassed about STD testing, which is why we keep your details completely confidential – you don’t even have to give us your real name.
• Reassurance – our staff are all experienced in their areas, and are friendly and welcoming. They will answer any questions you have and make sure that the STD testing is carried out efficiently.
• Treatment – if one or more STDs is found during testing, we can get you an immediate prescription so that you can begin treatment, or refer you to a specialist if we think you need one.

By taking control and getting STD testing, London clients like those who come to Moorgate Medical are making a positive impact on their sexual health. If you change partners regularly, it’s worth getting checked each time, both to make sure you haven’t got any disease that you may pass onto your new partner, and to ensure that they aren’t carrying infection either. Actively control your health, rather than risking long-term damage.
