Sexual health Appointment

Have you tried booking an appointment at a clinic for STI testing recently?

I tried this morning for routine test. But I wanted a certain day. They only open up appointments two days before the day you want to book.

So considering its the 6 week holidays which limits things, and I'm also at the wrong point in the month for testing I now have to call at 8:30am two days before the day I can actually do and hope to god I can get there first when I call.

They have their reasons I'm sure, lack of resources, god knows. But it's not exactly helpful!

Last time I did an at home kit I actually damaged the bone on my finger for the blood test so this time I want a clinic to avoid doing that again.

Do you get the same where you are?

.

Yes I have.

It's not too bad where I am - I'm quite lucky I'm on the border of two counties so I kind of pick and choose where to go. One county it's a nightmare - tried several times calling to book an appointment and in the end I went first thing in the morning and did the walk in service. I felt really sexually responsible joining that group of deviants with an iced coffee in hand and listening to classical music.

The other county is far easier. Quick call and I'll have an appointment within a month timeframe.

The postal service is great but not as thorough as the clinics. This thread has reminded me to book an appointment so thank you!

I get the home kits - so much easier and convenient just getting it posted through your door.

With mine, you ring for an appointment, get a telephone appointment through then that appointments books you in to actually be seen. It's a right pain in the ass

You can pay for same day tests at private clinics.

I swapped to home tests a while back and find them more convenient, but getting blood out of my finger is a pain.

You could always tell them you have symptoms of an STI and see if they will get you in sooner.

We've been able to book months in advance. I last did that in July.

Not available in our area unless you are under 25. No appointments to book at an NHS clinic either. Only provision if you actually have symptoms basically.

The only way to routine, non symptomatic testing as someone over 25 is to pay privately for a kit.

The free “at home” kits are brilliant here. You can order online, they arrive the next day, easy little “stabber” (didn’t want to say prick) thing to get a few drops of blood in a vial, straight back in the post and a text 24 hours later to say all clear.

We can't book a routine appointment at all (and there's no walk in facility nearby). The best we can get is a home test for chlamydia and gonorrhea (and that's only when they're in stock!)

It's a joke around here if you're over 25.

My sex clinic have changed to online now, which in all honesty is pretty good for booking appointments.

Nope. Can't have an appt now unless you have symptoms.

I use SH:24. Sent the last one off about 10 days ago and had the all clear 2 days later.

Quick, easy, and aside from the ball ache of getting enough blood out of my fingers (had to use three last time) it's actually much easier doing it at home.

Well. That seems like saving pennies to pay in pounds later (your local NHS, not you)
