"Hi all Is anyone else struggling to get a postal STI test kit? Our local service requires you to order the kit online but, no matter what time of day, it says they have already allocated all the kits for the day and to try again tomorrow. Anyone else encountering problems? Dee" Jeez, and they wonder why STI’s are on the increase. I find it’s easier to go straight to the clinic. The nurse there told me, you can only get 2 kits a year, which is appalling. | |||

Kit finally arrives so do the normal and send it off. Get the text to say I'm able to check my results. Try to log in and it won't allow me to. Changed passwords ect. Long story short the people that used to do the express kits/results has been taken over by a different company | |||

"The Icash service for Cambridgeshire is only allowing 20 test kits a day to be released . The refresh occurs at midnight so you will have better luck at that time of day/night.

Bacterial infections aren't tested through blood tests. "I wasn’t talking about tests for blood donation. Blood test for STI checks for HIV, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, Hepatitis C and Syphilis I’ve had two appointments cancelled for the Sandyford recently. Staff shortages was the reason given. | |||

"Interested to know how these tests work. Last time I had a test in a clinic, they stuck a probe up my penis. Is it urine samples now? Nick" I don't have a penis, hopefully someone who does can answer the penis-specific part of your question, but I presume there would be some sort of penis swabbing required. In my kit I get a throat swab, vaginal swab, anal swab, and a blood collection tube. I've said swab too much and now it doesn't look like a real word any more. | |||

"LOL thanks wonderwoman. Any guys out there know what's involed?" It’s a urine sample only - no probing! The sample needs to be of the first squirt of urine and not having peed for at least an hour beforehand, the idea being that the bacterial / viral markers they are testing for will be most concentrated in this sample. The full suite is additionally a throat swab (true test of gag reflex), anal swab (only relevant if you have received anal sex) and blood test (top tip hot shower, middle finger prick and learn how to ‘milk’ your finger for the amount of blood needed with a pull and squeeze). | |||

"A private full STI screening is £270. Loads of people can’t afford that. " The free tests only test for the big five in most cases. Boots etc so it from £50-80. This is the same or less than a pair of underwear/shoes/dress/ 2-3 club nights. Testing is a part of the lifestyle and should be budgeted for accordingly. | |||

"Do your test results texts state which tests you're clear for? I just have in clinic tests but mine just send a blanket results saying all is good. But without stating which tests have been taken.

Obviously changing it costs money and budgets are limited " My clinic does do the all clear text, but call me about my kidney data. When they get the results and book me in for the next tests accordingly. As I did have to go a bit more often when my kidney function was low. | |||

"Local sti centres are walk in or appointment and usually do longer hours than you think. they don't inform GP we are lucky in Derby/ Derbyshire that they do. But I've found its not the case in many other areas x " Did you mean that it's lucky that they do inform your GP? With certain things, such as the Smallpox vaccines that were provided to LGBT clients, they wanted details to be provided to the rest of the NHS, including GPs, such as at mine. I generally prefer sexual health data to stay separate and completely private. I was unsure of Derbyshire s policy and had almost got to use them a couple of years ago. | |||
