Private sexual health testing near St Ives: fast access, trusted doctors

Almost half of new STI diagnoses in England are in people under 25, and early testing makes treatment simpler and faster. If you live in St Ives and are worried about a possible infection, you don’t need to wait. Mayfield Clinic provides discreet private sexual health testing with rapid access to the same named GP where possible, clear results, and practical advice.

Why choose private sexual health testing?

Private testing gives speed, privacy and continuity. At Mayfield Clinic we focus on quick appointments and the ability to see the same clinician for follow-up — especially important when dealing with sensitive issues. Our private sexual health testing options are discreet and suited to busy lives in St Ives: book online, be seen promptly, and receive clear next steps.

What our GPs offer

Our GPs provide confidential advice and can arrange a full range of tests. You can request a male or female clinician. There are three ways to access private sexual health testing at Mayfield Clinic:

• In a dedicated sexual health appointment (testing only).
• In a standard GP consultation (advice plus testing).
• Selected tests via home test kits.

If you want both detailed advice and testing, book a standard consultation so the GP has time for both. For details of specific tests and to book, visit our sexual health services page.

Common symptoms and when to get checked

The NHS advises anyone with possible STI symptoms to seek a check as soon as possible. Look out for unusual discharges, pain when peeing, rashes or itchy genitals. You should also test if a partner has symptoms or if you had sex without a condom and are worried.

How testing works at Mayfield Clinic (for St Ives patients)

Although our St Ives information is targeted at local residents, appointments are delivered from our Cambridge practice. If you book from St Ives, you will be seen at our Cambridge clinic — a short, direct trip for most patients. You can find our Cambridge location here: Mayfield Clinic, Cambridge. For local details about how we serve St Ives, see our St Ives page: Mayfield Clinic — St Ives.

Tests, timing and results

We offer comprehensive private STD panels and single tests for common infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV. Some tests can be completed same day depending on the appointment type; others may use home kits. The cost of tests is not included in the appointment fee — please use our online pricing calculator on the sexual health services page to check prices before booking.

Confidentiality and discretion

All private sexual health testing at Mayfield Clinic is treated with strict confidentiality. Your care and privacy come first, and we aim to provide discreet private STD testing with minimal waiting.

How to book from St Ives

All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button on our website. Mayfield Clinic members can also book directly by phone or via WhatsApp. Choose a sexual health appointment for testing alone, or a standard GP consultation if you need advice plus tests.

What to expect at your appointment

Expect clear, non‑judgemental clinical assessment. Tests might include urine samples, swabs or blood tests depending on the panel. We’ll explain results and treatment options, and arrange partner notification support if needed. If urgent treatment is needed, we will advise immediate steps and follow-up with the same named doctor where possible, so care is consistent.
