Thanks for submitting the above question. I hope you are doing alright. A sexual transmitted infections (STI) is an infection that is passed through a sexual intercourse.

It can be caused by many types of infections such as:

  • chlamydia
  • gonorrhoea
  • herpes simplex virus
  • syphilis
  • genital warts
  • scabies
  • trichomoniasis
  • pubic lice

It can cause symptoms like pain when peeing, unusual discharge from the penis, vagina or anus, bumps or skin growths around the genitals area or anus, rash or itch, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and they can get a blister or lesion around the genital area.

You can see your GP or your doctor, but doctor will probably send you to a sexual health clinic if he or she think that you might have a sexual transmitted infections (STI). Sexual health clinics can manage sexual transmitted infections (STI) with more effectively through the genital system.

You can usually go there without making an appointment. Good thing is you will often get test results faster than from your GP and you don’t have to pay a prescription prices for the later treatment. The privacy and confidential are also important in the sexual health. No information about your visit to the sexual health clinic will be shared with your local GP or even anyone else outside that clinic unless you demand for it to be. You also can ask to see a man or woman doctor and nurse if you wish to.
