Private Sexual Health Testing St Albans - Same Day STI Tests

Sexual health

28/08/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

One in eight sexually active adults will contract a sexually transmitted infection at some point in their lives. Yet many people delay getting tested due to concerns about privacy, waiting times, or simply not knowing where to access reliable testing. At Mayfield Clinic St Albans, we understand that your sexual health deserves immediate attention and complete discretion.

Why Choose Private Sexual Health Testing in St Albans?

When it comes to your sexual health, time matters. NHS sexual health services, whilst excellent, often have lengthy waiting lists that can leave you anxious and uncertain. Private sexual health testing at Mayfield Clinic offers you immediate access to comprehensive screening with results available the same day.

Our St Albans practice provides discreet private STD testing that fits around your schedule. Whether you're experiencing symptoms or simply want peace of mind after unprotected sex, our experienced GPs are here to help without judgement.

Recognising When You Need Testing

The NHS recommends getting checked at a sexual health clinic as soon as possible if you're concerned about a sexually transmitted infection. Common STI symptoms include:

You should also consider private sexual health testing if your partner has symptoms or you're worried after having sex without a condom. Many STIs show no symptoms initially, making regular screening essential for sexually active individuals.

Three Ways to Access Sexual Health Testing at Our St Albans Clinic

Selected tests can be completed using our convenient home test kits, perfect for those who prefer maximum privacy or have busy schedules.

"Our GPs can provide advice, reassurance and where necessary sexual health testing. You can ask to see a male or female clinician to ensure you feel completely comfortable."
