Screening and Treatment for STI’s, and Screening for HIV

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and can be transmitted through sexual contact. Many STIs are treatable at a sexual health clinic or through your local GP practice. It is important to understand that many STIs don’t show symptoms. The only way to know for sure if you have an STI is to get tested. Most STIs need treatment. The treatment will depend on which STI you have, although many require a course of antibiotics.

STI testing kits (including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and hepatitis C) can be requested online and sent to your home address in discreet packaging: https://www.icash.nhs.uk/contraception-sexual-health/express-test

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is transmitted through unprotected sex (sex without a condom). It can be treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, it may lead to serious health issues.

Chlamydia screening kits can also be collected in person at various youth and community organisations, GP practices and pharmacies – see the list of settings at Chlamydia screening Norfolk
