Getting tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is an important part of looking after your sexual health. Many STIs have no symptoms, which means you could have an infection without knowing it.

Why STI Testing Matters

Regular STI testing is important because:

  • Many STIs are asymptomatic (show no symptoms)
  • Untreated STIs can lead to serious health complications
  • Early detection means easier and more effective treatment
  • Testing helps prevent transmission to partners
  • Common STIs We Test For

    At Private Blood Tests London, our STI testing panels can include:
