What to expect at a sexual health clinic
Visiting a sexual health clinic is usually straightforward:
- Check in at reception – you may be asked for basic details. You don’t need to give lots of personal information if you don’t want to.
- Talk to a nurse, health adviser or doctor – they’ll ask a few questions to understand how best to support you.
- On the day tests – you might need a physical check, swabs, a urine sample, a blood test or contraception. Staff will explain everything first.
- Results and follow-up – you’ll usually get results by text, online or phone. If you need any treatment, they’ll arrange this with you.
Your privacy and confidentiality
Many people worry about who will find out if they visit a sexual health clinic. Clinics take confidentiality very seriously:
- Your records are kept securely
- Staff only share information if it’s absolutely necessary for your care or safety
- Your doctor doesn’t have to be informed, unless you agree to it (there are some rare exceptions if you or someone else is at serious risk of harm)
If you’re unsure, you can ask the clinic how they protect your privacy before you give any details.
