Sexual health

08/09/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

One in five sexually active adults will contract a sexually transmitted infection during their lifetime, yet many delay getting tested due to embarrassment or long NHS waiting times. Private sexual health testing offers a discreet, efficient alternative that puts your peace of mind first.

At Mayfield Clinic in Lewes, we understand that sexual health concerns require prompt, confidential attention. Our experienced GPs provide comprehensive STI testing with same-day appointments available, ensuring you receive the care you need without unnecessary delays.

Why Choose Private Sexual Health Testing in Lewes?

NHS sexual health clinics often have lengthy waiting lists and limited appointment availability. Private testing at our Lewes practice eliminates these barriers, offering you immediate access to professional healthcare when you need it most.

Our private sexual health services provide several key advantages over traditional NHS routes. You can choose your preferred GP - male or female - and receive personalised care tailored to your specific concerns.

Recognising When You Need Testing

The NHS recommends immediate testing if you experience any concerning symptoms. Common signs include unusual discharges, pain during urination, unexplained rashes, or genital irritation.

However, many STIs remain asymptomatic initially. Consider testing if your partner has symptoms, after unprotected sex, or as part of regular health maintenance. Our Lewes clinic offers comprehensive screening panels that detect multiple infections simultaneously.

Three Flexible Testing Options

Mayfield Clinic Lewes provides sexual health testing through three convenient routes:

Dedicated Sexual Health Appointments: Quick, focused testing sessions ideal when you know exactly what screening you require. These appointments concentrate solely on collecting samples and conducting necessary examinations.

Standard GP Consultations: Perfect when you need both advice and testing. Our experienced doctors can discuss your concerns, provide guidance on prevention, and arrange appropriate screening during the same appointment.

Home Test Kits: Selected STI tests can be completed privately at home. This option suits those preferring maximum discretion whilst maintaining professional oversight of their results.

Fast Results and Follow-up Care

Our private STI testing in Lewes delivers results significantly faster than NHS alternatives. Most standard tests provide results within 2-3 working days, with urgent tests available for same-day results when clinically appropriate.

Should any tests return positive results, our GPs provide immediate treatment plans and partner notification guidance. We ensure comprehensive care from initial testing through complete resolution.

Transparent Pricing and Easy Booking

Sexual health test costs are separate from consultation fees, with prices available through our online calculator. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions about your healthcare investment.

Lewes residents can book appointments online using our simple booking system. Members enjoy additional convenience through direct phone and WhatsApp booking options, ensuring rapid access to care when needed.

Our commitment to accessible private healthcare means you receive the same high-quality service regardless of how you choose to book your appointment.
