I am going to a sexual health clinic later in the week and I was wondering if i have a sexual transmitted infection would the clinic give me medication to treat it there and then? I am inpatient when it comes to my health. The last time i went to a sexual health clinic was way over a year ago which is way too long when one of my most loved hobbies is paying for escorts.
and would i know the result of a chlamydia test for example on the same day of going to the clinic? I cant remember what happened last time.
Thanks guys.
Result times can vary a famous, well respected GUM in London has results within the day, up here in the North it can vary from 14 days to quite recently a couple of days (thank you local facilities making improvements).
Of course you could phone the clinic and ask, or look at any website they may have.
The one I mention in London has a very informative website.
The GUM will arrange treatment as necessary their whole aim is to prevent the spread of infections, so I doubt they'll delay unnecessarily. I've also heard of some treatment being dispensed on the basis of symptoms, symptoms they consider likely not a sore patch or allergy reaction.
As ever the qualified staff will provide the best advice.
And well done for attending, many do not.
You may wish to request mouth swabs but be aware many Gums will only offer these to men who engage in oral with men, they consider the oral to women risk not high enough to justify the cost. I have heard of punters telling the GUM they do have oral sex with men to access the test - the urine or penile swabs and bloods don't cover the oral cavity which can harbour gonorrhea and chlamydia caught by OWO or (teeny risk) kissing.
