Sexually transmitted infections (STDs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are passed from one person to another by sexual activity. This includes vaginal, anal and oral sex, and can pass from men to women, men to men and from women to women. It’s important to remember that many STIs are symptomless, so it’s worth getting tested even if you feel fine.
Some STIs have symptoms that can look out for, these can include:
Whilst these symptoms don’t mean you necessarily have an STI, it’s important to get checked over by a doctor so that you can understand what’s causing your symptoms, and get treatment for this.

STI testing is a sensitive matter which we handle with the utmost discretion. Our sexual health clinic in Canary Wharf is welcoming, modern and professional, with experienced nurses and private GPs on hand to carry out your STI check. We offer a completely confidential and non-judgemental sexual health screening service, with tests available for all common STIs, and some results available in just 4-6 hours.
There are various STIs out there, the 4 most popular we can test for and help treat at our private sexual health clinic include:
Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs in the UK, and is passed on through unprotected sex (vaginal, anal or oral sex), sharing of sex toys or if your genitals come into contact with an infected person’s genitals. Whilst many people affected by chlamydia don’t have symptoms if you do develop symptoms you may notice pain when passing urine, unusual discharge, abdominal pain, bleeding between periods or swelling in the testicles. Generally, chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics.
Gonorrhoea is caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae or gonococcus. Much like chlamydia, gonorrhoea is passed through unprotected sex and sharing sex toys that aren’t washed between uses. If you notice thick green or yellow discharge (in either men or women), pain when urinating or bleeding between periods, you should get a sexual health test.
Syphilis is caused by bacteria called Treponema Pallidum and is generally caught by having sex with someone who’s infected. The symptoms of syphilis are not always obvious, however, you should look out for sores or ulcers on your genitalia, anus or inside your mouth, a blotchy red rash, small skin growths, recurrent signs of tiredness, headaches, aching joints, swollen glands or having a fever. Generally, this STI can be treated with a short course of antibiotics.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the human immune system through white blood cells. If left untreated, it can mean the body is more vulnerable to infections and diseases. If you think you could have HIV, it’s really important to get tested or you are risking causing damage to your immune system. Find out more about our HIV testing service here.
