Cork: GUM Clinic in South Infirmary Hospital. Good news: they now only do ONE swab. A few seconds of agony and it's all over. It used to be 2 swabs and I went to a private clinic before where they took 3 swabs!!! ffs
Also, as regards those home checking kits, I've heard that urine is not as accurate as a swab. I think it's possible the home kit could tell you you're clean when you could in fact have NSU (non-specific urethritis).

Great news allround!Originally Posted by JMastodon
The home test kits don't test for all the 21 STI that the sexual health screen check for so it is quite possible that a clear result from them could mean that you have some other non specific or skin condition. I think it is better than nothing though. If a person is not willing to test the formal way, anything is better than nothing.

There are many doctors that provide sexual checks with a reasonable charge.
I go to a place in Swords.
There is a charge but it's not expensive.
No waiting.
No one knows why you're there.
No riff raff.
Parking.

What tests do you get? I am assuming HIV, SYP and Gonhorrheoa?
