  The Essential Female STI Screen is the minimum STI screen that should be done for women as in the latest guidelines by the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV.

Results: 

Results take 2 working days * and will be e-mailed to you with a doctor's explanation. Treatment is offered when needed. 

  Instructions on how to do a vaginal swab yourself.

 * Indicative timings only. Actual result may be earlier or slightly later.

    A vaginal swab is a better test for gonorrhoea especially if you have an abnormal vaginal discharge. However, gonorrhoea can also be diagnosed with a urine test. Click here if you would like to do the blood/urine test combination for this test.
