Sexual Health Screening in Ireland ....

[AZ99]

Sorry if someone else has mentioned this already, but...

- Hepatitis B is a lifelong infection with no cure, and can lead to other serious diseases.

- You can get vaccinated against hepatitis B at the GUM clinic.

Anyone on here who hasn't already had this vaccination should consider it seriously.

Can you buy Chlamydia testing pack from over the counter rather than online ?

I should of stated I'm in the North of Ireland.
Is there any shops up North that sell testing kits over the counter

Hi Striker,

Sorry...i missed this question...don't know how!

Apparently Llyods pharmacy offers an online service where you can pick it up at the store.

Do you have Llyods in the North?

HI AZ99,

Hepatitis B clears itself in 90% of cases.
Sometimes the vaccination (highly effective by the way) is used as a Post Exposure Prophylaxis (to help your body clear it quicker)
Everyone, regardless of jobs or hobbies, would benefit from being vaccinated.
Anyone who has sex with men, (or TS/TV escorts), can get the vaccination for free in any HSE STI clinic.

Vaccinations that are essential in my opinion would be Hepatitis B and if you qualify, HPV.

I just got my results back, even though I knew they were going to come back clean I was terrified of "what if".

Thankfully, Im STI free. Sweet.
