I popped into my local GUM clinic last week and happened upon a training day, so they were not seeing anyone for a couple of hours. The receptionist told me of a free STI testing postal service.....

www.Freetest.me

Really easy to use - internal swab, plus test tube with finger pricking tools for testing your blood. All packaged with free postage and test results came back (for me by text) just 3 days later.

Going to save me time waiting round in the waiting room at the GUM clinic from now on

In Leeds it's only available to under 24s too, I have used the hiv test from freedoms that will give you your results within 15 mins which is 30.00. I normally get all my swabs/bloods/jabs done through the outreach team for sex workers in Leeds every month.

Thanks.

In my area it's not funded, and costs ?99.99 for full STI + ?19.99 for HIV = ?120

It's not available in my area for free either. It's a shame because the sexual health services here are terrible.
