Why Regular Sexual Health Testing Matters
Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) show no symptoms at all, particularly in the early stages. Regular testing helps to:
- Protect your own health
- Protect current and future partners
- Detect infections early (when treatment is simplest)
- Prevent long-term complications
We offer clear advice on what tests you may need and how often you should test based on your circumstances.
