The STD clinic nurses are usually very friendly and understanding. They will not perform any tests at all untill they have explained everything to you and gained your consent. They will start by taking a full sexual history, this will allow them to fully understand any risk you have been in and enable them to teach you about anything you may need to know. The will discuss any procedure that may be appropriate and explain the reasons behind them. Many tests can be done on a wee sample, for others you may agree to an internal examination or a blood test but you do not have to. This is one of many website you can have a look at before you go, the clinic you have an appointment with may well have its own site. Try looking it up. http://www.sexualhealth.me.uk/ All the best.

When you go to the clinic, you don't even have to give your real name. the thing is though, you'd have to go to the docs and get a list of clinics or get referred by the doc cos at 25, there aren't many walk in clinic facilities you can use. they are more aimed at young people (under 16 -20). Anyways, when you go there they will ask for three years of sexual history and ask if you've ever been tested before. The best thing to do is to be honest because there is no truly no point in hiding anything, there is nothing these people haven't seen or heard. They then ask you what you want to be tested for. For most sti's and std's they will take a swab from your vagina, its a little bit uncomfortable but it shouldn't hurt. The best to do is to relax. If you want a HIV test then they take blood. (they take it from your arm by the way). If you want an NSU test they take a saliva sample. You can also have a pregnancy test. Most results come 1-2 weeks later. If you have genital warts or crabs, they can tell just by looking at you. You only have to take off the clothes from your bottom half and they give you a gown. If you need treatment on the day you will get it straightaway then they tell you what to do from there. Overall, the nurses are really supportive and not judgemental at all. At the end of the day, we are all human.
Good luck to you, i really hope you haven't caught anything from your dirty ex!
By the way, its all free and confidential.

What a B!tch you are with the 1st reply!
I know where she is coming from there are so many guys who don't used them and sometimes as a teen we don't say no.
We all know there are risks with unprotected sex but that does not stop people doing it. Im not saying it is right but how are we to judge
I mean we don't know if this girl was with him for a long time and got to the stage where she stopped using condoms or not.
I must agree condoms are a pasion killer and when you are in a loving relationship with somebody you don't think of STDs and things like that because we trust that that person is with us only.
Don't be judgemental we all make mistakes. I mean how many of us have had cheated husbands or wives?
Those of us who are married we stand as much chance as any single guy or girl been caught out. I know plenty of women who are on the pill and feel no need to use condoms any more.
Do you know your partners sexual history did you ask them to provide a certificate to say they are clean or all STD's AIDs or HIV?
She never states any symptoms so maybe she is going to be fine and I am sure with this trip she will have learnt her lesson and will always use condoms.
All she want to know is what to expect I have never been to a clinic so I can not say but would it be a blood test?
Would She need to undress?
would it be a man or woman?
How long is the wait for results?
is it free?
I don't know these things so I'm sure she is wondering the same as me.
Good on you girl for taking the right step forward. Hopefully you will have the all clear and if not can arrange treatment.

you will get have to answer your questions honestly and discuss your concerns with the Practioner. you will need blood work and also a pelvix exam ( you should be getting a pelvic exam yearly anyways) an possible some swabs for testing from your vagina.
If everyone insisted on protected sex it would seem unnatural.
If you have issues asking a partner to cover his penis then maybe your not read to have sex with that person. the two things dont have to be one after the other... take the time to get to know someone and have the conversation separate from sex. IF you really cant wait, INSIST on protection, its for your health, any guy that wont use a condom doesnt deserve the pleasure of your body anyways. You are a precious gift. Cherish yourself.
last thought... even oral sex on either sex requires protection, non spermicidal condoms, (flavors are FUN) and even condoms dont GUANTEE protection.. they slip off or break. so use your head, be safe. I wish you luck.

Look I know you're in a panic and your ex cheated, but you just judged your STI status on what the girl he cheated with looks like.
I'm surprised you've never been to a clinic before, as you could have been carrying asymptomatically for years. It is quite likely that you will have picked up HPV at the very least, which is even less sexy than condoms and means yearly cervical smears. You may also have Hep C or HIV, neither of which is too sexy, but at least if you know about them you get a chance to get them treated without spreading them. Chlamydia and herpes can also be symptomless for years.
They'll give you a pelvic exam at the clinic and take swabs and blood. They will also give you counseling.
They give out free condoms too... I'd be using them in future if I were you.

Take no notice of the one above - sorry I mean the 1st response.
At least you are honest.
They are lovely, all female staff at the GUM. They will take some history off you and then ask you to undress from below. They are very reassuring and will gently take a swab from your vagina and then call you in 2 weeks with the results. They will test for all STD's but not aids or HIV unless you consent.
Go and get tested girl at least then you will now if you are carrying and STD - they really aren't as bad as you may think at the GUM....Very non-judgemental unlike some on here...
