Introduction
Around one in five people will contract a sexually transmitted infection at some point in their lives. Fast, discreet testing matters. If you live in Ely and are worried about an STI, prompt private sexual health testing gives clarity and peace of mind — without long waits.
At Mayfield Clinic we combine rapid access to GPs with continuity of care from the same named doctor, so you get timely results and reliable follow-up. Although our service for Ely patients is delivered from our Cambridge practice, we make appointments simple to book and straightforward to attend.
Private sexual health testing offers speed, confidentiality and greater choice. You can arrange discreet private STD testing with same‑day or quick-result options, choose the tests you need and see a GP at a time that suits you. For many people in Ely, this private route avoids the delays sometimes experienced in busy public clinics.
The NHS recommends getting checked at a sexual health clinic as soon as possible if you have symptoms. Typical signs include:
You should also consider testing if a sexual partner has symptoms, or after condomless sex that leaves you concerned. If you’re in Ely and unsure, book a private sexual health appointment so a GP can assess your risk quickly.
Mayfield Clinic GPs provide advice, reassurance and, where necessary, private STI testing. You may request a male or female clinician. There are three ways to access sexual health testing at our practices:
Note: in a sexual health appointment our GPs will focus on carrying out the test. If you want advice and testing in the same visit, please book a standard consultation. Tests are charged separately from the appointment; check test costs using the pricing calculator on our sexual health page.
We offer comprehensive private sexual health tests, from targeted STD screening to a full sexual health panel. That includes testing for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV, as well as tailored screening for men and women. For couples wanting joint reassurance we provide paired testing and same-day appointments where possible.
Many patients in Ely value speed and privacy. We provide fast private STD testing options and discreet STI tests with no waiting room announcements. Some results are available same day; others take a few days depending on the test. If a home test kit is appropriate, it will arrive in discreet packaging and you return samples directly to our lab partner.
"Confidentiality, quick access and continuity with the same GP — that’s what our Ely patients tell us matters most."
