What is involved in syphilis testing?

Screening for syphilis is a straightforward, private procedure offered at Mayfield Clinic Loughton. We provide discreet, reliable testing as part of our private STD screening services, essential if you notice unusual sores, rashes, or have had high-risk exposure. A GP can guide you through the process, explain the costs, and discuss your results in person or by discreet follow-up. Our approach combines clinical expertise with convenience, helping you access trustworthy care without NHS delays.

Testing is typically a simple blood test, sometimes combined with other STI screening as part of a comprehensive health check. We aim to make the experience comfortable, with clear explanations of what the results mean and what steps to take next.
