Getting tested and treated for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is straightforward and confidential. Most infections can be cured. A sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic specialises in sexual health, and gives tests and treatment for many STIs.
You can also get tested for sexual transmitted infections at:
- Some community contraceptive clinics
- Some sexual health services
- Some GP surgeries
Frisky Wales have recently launched free STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) postal testing for anyone aged over 16. The tests can be ordered from Frisky Wales.
For details of clinics in Pontypridd, Newport and Cardiff, visit the USW Health Service pages. More information about what you can expect when you get tested can be found on NHS Direct Wales website.
