Sexual health screening

If you’re sexually active it’s a good idea to have regular tests for sexually transmitted infections. These are available free of charge from specialist sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics.

Some HIV clinics now include sexual health screens as part of their routine HIV care. Other clinics only provide specific tests, for example, regular blood tests for syphilis.

See NAM’s booklet HIV & Sex for more information on sexual health check-ups and common sexually transmitted infections and their treatment. You can find your nearest GUM clinic using the search facility on aidsmap.com.
