Why routine tests matter

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or HPV—can present no symptoms at all. Left undetected, these infections may lead to long-term health consequences, including pelvic inflammatory disease, fertility issues, or even cancer. Routine screenings offer early detection, usually leading to simpler and more effective treatment.

Break down common myths

  • “If it doesn’t hurt, I don’t have anything.” Many STIs are silent.
  • “I’m in a long-term relationship, so I’m safe.” Monogamy helps—but past exposures or partners matter.
  • “I’d know if something’s wrong.” Often, you won’t feel anything—until it’s serious.

What we offer at Glasgow Medical Rooms

At Glasgow Medical Rooms, our Specialist Sexual Health Clinic provides private, confidential STI screening for both men and women in a relaxed, professional environment. We offer:

  • A comprehensive panel of tests, including private smear tests and HPV vaccinations
  • Rapid turnaround

Our clinic prides itself on discretion, professionalism, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Many patients highlight our “friendly and helpful staff” and “relaxing, upmarket environment”.

 

Who should consider testing, and how often?

  • Anyone with new or multiple partners
  • People planning to conceive or undergoing fertility checks
  • Those who’ve had a treatment or positive test before (for follow‑up)
  • Patients with asymptomatic concerns—better safe than sorry

For most sexually active adults, an annual check is recommended. If you’re engaging in higher-risk activity, testing every 3–6 months makes sense.

What to expect at a private screening

  • Your appointment will be discreet and confidential, with no shared records unless you request it
  • Typically involves urine samples, swabs, or blood tests
  • A GP or nurse consultation to explain the results and next steps
  • Vaccinations available (e.g., HPV, hepatitis), plus tailored sexual health advice

 

Why choose private screening?

  • Speed: No long NHS wait times—appointments and results are prompt
  • Convenience: Central Glasgow location, comfortable clinic setting
  • Professional care from a clinic rated “very good” with triple-digit verified reviews and Healthcare Improvement Scotland recognition
