This week is Sexual Health Awareness Week, designed to ignite conversations on sexual health and the stigmas surrounding it, while sharing advice and important information with the people who need it. The theme this year is relationships, sex and disability. At Doctorcall, our sexual health clinics in London and Manchester provide a range of sexual health services, including private STD testing, providing you with advice and helping you to take charge of your health.
Sexual health is important to both men and women, yet sex remains an incredibly difficult topic to talk about for a lot of people, raising feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness. Campaigns such as Sexual Health Awareness Week help to shed light on the subject, whether it’s by promoting safe sex, sharing information about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or promoting the importance of testing.
In 2018, there were 447,694 diagnoses of STIs made in England, a 5% increase since 2017. London has the highest rate of STIs in England, with rates of new STI cases more prevalent in men (1,623 per 100,000) than women.
A discrete and supportive service
Many people with sexually transmitted infections do not get symptoms. If left untreated, however, STIs can affect your health, which means the sooner you get tested, the sooner you’ll be able to start treatment if it’s needed. The only way to learn if you have an STI is through a check-up.
At Doctorcall, our sexual health clinics provide a range of sexual health services, including private STD testing. We understand the importance of discretion when it comes to getting tested for STIs, and our doctors are here to help you all the way – you don’t have to give us any information you don’t want to, and you don’t even have to give us your real name.
Home testing kits
As well as in-clinic tests, we also provide STI Home Testing Kits that allow you to test for STIs in the discretion and comfort of your own home, meaning you don’t have to squeeze regular appointments into a busy work schedule.
Why book with us
Our clinics were founded in 1989 as the first private sexual health clinics in the UK. As a private clinic we often have same-day appointments available, meaning you won’t be waiting any longer that you need be. Our clinics are conveniently located, with two in London at Harley Street and London Wall as well as one in Manchester in St. Ann’s Square in Manchester.
