STI Tests

Easy to use test kits - post your sample off to our partner laboratory and we email the results to you

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are passed through genital contact from one person to another. Sexually transmitted diseases are extremely common, however many people may be unaware that they are infected. Therefore, if you are concerned that you may have contracted an STD or STI we advise that you consider taking an at home STD test, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms.

How do Home Test Kits and results work?

 

1. Purchase your test kit online. 2. Select “1st Class post” if you would like it posted through your door (no signature required). 3. Follow the instructions in the pack to fill the vial as a “finger-prick” blood sample.

 

4. Complete the labels and attach to test sample vial. 5. Post the blood test vial plus the Test request form in the Freepost envelope included. 6. The results come to Customer Care at Oxford Online (usually in five days) and we email them to you.

There are complete instructions for the blood test kits here and there is a You Tube Video on TDL Tinies Blood sampling here.

Prescription STI And STD Treatments Sent Straight To Your Door

All STIs and STDs should be treated as soon as possible, as long term health problems may occur.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most frequent STI. Most men and women do not have any symptoms, but in men you may have pain when you pass urine or a discharge. In women symptoms may be bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse. Chlamydia is easily treated with STI treatment.

Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is also easily treated. Gonorrhoea causes pain when urinating and an unusual discharge from the vagina or penis. The usual treatment is a single injection followed by an antibiotic by mouth. 

Genital Warts And Genital Herpes

Genital warts can be treated with creams or freezing the warts. They are passed on by skin to skin contact. Genital herpes causes painful blisters around the genitals and surrounding areas. It may remain dormant and can be controlled but not cured with antiviral medicines.

However, if you test positive for HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis B&C, you should contact a sexual health clinic, who will carry out a retest and provide a specific STD treatment.

If you test positive, then you can take a free online consultation with our GMC registered doctor. If you are approved our expert doctor will prescribe a private prescription for a specific STI or STD treatment. However, if a prescription is not appropriate and you are unsuccessful your payment will be refunded. In addition, if you already have a private or NHS prescription you can order your medication online and send your prescription to us. We will then dispense the prescribed medication, straight to your own home.
