Sexual health
Confidential testing, usually within days
Private STI testing in Hull, booked directly with no referral and no waiting list. Nothing goes on your NHS record unless you ask us to share it, and a clinician reviews every result.
Should you come to us or use the NHS?
NHS sexual health services are free and they are good. If you can get an appointment in a timeframe that works for you, use them - we will say so on the phone.
People come to us for two reasons. The first is speed: we can usually test you within days of you ringing, without a referral. The second is separation - as a private patient, nothing reaches your NHS record unless you ask us to send it.
Timing matters more than most people expect. Different infections become detectable over different windows, and testing too early gives you a reassuring result that means very little. Ring us and we will tell you when a test will actually answer your question.

Common questions
Sexual Health, answered
- Is it confidential?
- Yes. You are a private patient, so nothing goes on your NHS record unless you ask us to share it. We will not contact your GP without your say-so.
- How quickly can I be tested?
- Usually within days of ringing, and often the same week. There is no referral to arrange and no waiting list.
- What does it cost?
- It depends which tests you need. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea together are £62, HIV from £19 and syphilis from £28. Reception will price it before you commit to anything.
- How long after exposure should I test?
- It varies by infection - some show up within days, others take weeks to become detectable. Ring us and we will tell you when testing will actually give you a reliable answer rather than testing too early.
- What happens if a test is positive?
- A clinician explains the result and what it means. Where treatment is appropriate we can arrange it, and we will talk through telling partners if that applies.
- Should I use the NHS instead?
- If you can get an NHS sexual health appointment in a timeframe that works for you, it is free and it is a good service. People come to us when they want to be seen sooner, or want it kept entirely separate from their NHS record.
