It is time to visit a doctor or sexual health clinic.

You are not eligible to download a chlamydia and gonorrhoea test form because you have told us that you currently have STI symptoms.

This means that if you visit a doctor or sexual health clinic, you may be able to receive treatment right away.

You can use our find a service feature to find a clinic near you, or Health Engine to find and book in with a doctor.

As well as testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea (urine and/or swabs), it is important that you also get blood tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B.

You may also need rectal and/or throat swabs. This will depend on what type of sex you have had without a condom. You will need to talk about this with your doctor to make sure you get all the right tests done.

It is important to get STI testing done at least once per year or whenever you change sexual partners.

Download this letter to give to the doctor if you are unsure about what to say during your appointment.

This service only has the ability to test for genital chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Tests cannot be provided for any rectal or oral STI tests, or for any STI tests that require a blood test such as syphilis, HIV and hep B which are recommended as part of a full STI testing.

It may be a good idea to speak to them about Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as an additional way of protecting yourself against HIV

Depending on what type of sex you have had without a condom, you may also need rectal and/or throat swabs. It is important to talk about this with your doctor to make sure you get all the right tests done.
