Private sexual health testing near Saffron Walden — fast, discreet care

Fast, private sexual health testing for Saffron Walden residents

If you live in Saffron Walden and are worried about a sexually transmitted infection, quick access to a trusted clinician matters. Waiting weeks for reassurance or treatment increases anxiety and the chance of passing an infection on. At Mayfield Clinic we prioritise rapid, confidential appointments so Saffron Walden patients can get answers and treatment promptly at our Cambridge practice.

When to get tested

The NHS recommends visiting a sexual health clinic as soon as possible if you think you may have an STI. Common symptoms include:

• Unusual discharges
• Pain when peeing
• Rashes
• Itchy genitals

You should also consider testing if a sexual partner has symptoms or if you had sex without a condom and are worried. If you live in Saffron Walden and notice any of these signs, booking a private sexual health test can give fast reassurance or a treatment plan.

How Mayfield Clinic GPs can help

Our GPs provide confidential advice, reassurance and testing for a wide range of STIs. You can request a male or female clinician. There are three ways to access sexual health testing at Mayfield Clinic:

• Sexual health appointment: reserved for carrying out the test itself.
• Standard GP consultation: if you want both clinical advice and testing in one visit.
• Home test kits: selected tests can be completed at home and returned for analysis.

Important: in a dedicated sexual health appointment our GPs will focus on carrying out the test. If you want discussion and testing in the same visit, book a standard GP consultation. Test fees are not included in the appointment price — please use our pricing calculator to check the cost of the test you need.

Discreet, reliable testing and quick results

We understand the need for discretion. Mayfield Clinic offers confidential private STI testing with fast turnaround where possible. For many common tests we can provide rapid processing so you get results quickly — a reassurance that matters if you're in Saffron Walden and want minimal disruption to work and life.

What tests are available?

We offer comprehensive sexual health tests, including targeted STI screens and full private STD panels. That covers chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV and other common infections. If you need a private HIV test, specific testing for men or women, or couple testing, we can tailor the panel to your needs and explain the reasons for each test during a consultation.
