I think some areas have inconvenient opening hours and long waits. Also in a small town you may wish for some discretion. £120 doesn't sound too bad, one private clinic I found locally charged almost £400. |

My local one is an hours drive away. Very inconvenient opening times especially for walk in clinics so I make an appointment for when it's convenient for me!
I have no issues with being seen by anyone. That just seems like an excuse to me.

Wouldn't have thought there would be enough to test for all those? Oh well good luck. I'd still rather go to the gum clinic. |

"What do i put in google 2 find my local clinic"
Local gum clinics.
Some are at health centres for those who want a check up but have no symptoms. If you have symptoms then you'll probably have to go to the hospital gum clinic. |

I was shocked by the first post.
I've always assumed that all health checks are free.. Unless if course you already use something like BUPA.
The rest of the posts are just slightly bizarre to say the least...
Google is your friend OP |

There’s also an organisation online that will send you a free self test kit through the post, you do the urine and blood test and send it back in a pre paid bag. |

NHS services are free and it's recommended to test frequently even if you have never had symptoms - how long have you been paying for them op? |

I have done a home test and you have to prick your finger and fill a phial that is about 10ml...the pack gives you 3 sterile click needles and you take the blood from the pads of your fingers...it is easy to produce that much even from one finger |

Our local NHS clinic is brilliant, quick phone call, to book appointment times for us both, they are never more than 10mins over appointment time.
Full check-up including mouth swaps, and automated result service. Fast, free and a bag of goodies on the way out just no Harribo… |

then why not just go through your usual GP? if you call and explain what you are looking for, they will probably schedule you an appointment with a nurse in your surgery. |

See, if my lad was fucking someone I'd be relieved if I saw her in the gum clinic. To me it would show she's taking her sexual health seriously, therefore less likely to endanger my son. |

If you're big enough and brave enough to be on a site like this you should also be big and brave enough to do something so fundamental to protect your health and that of your partners. Either pay the £120 or get over it. If it's anything like the NHS place we go to they provide a full range of sexual health services so no one would know exactly why you're there. |

Seriously?! 
"Wop it out"?! Did you enter your age wrong when you joined and are really 18?
There is no "wopping out" involved!! You go along, you chat to the nurse, she takes a blood sample, and a throat swab and hands you a pot to give a urine sample and (if appropriate) a rectal swab, both of which you have to do yourself in the toilet - approximately 7 days later you get a text with your results.
Really though OP your posts throughout this thread show an incredible naivety about sexual health that is somewhat worrying - suggest educating yourself a little |

Not being judgemental at all, and whilst I appreciate you might not know what happens when attending a clinic, all of the information in this thread can be found with some simple Googling, including what happens at a GUM clinic - it's actually your naivety about sexual health matters that I find worrying. |

I’ve heard mixed reports about clinics who do mail order testing. Apparently some don’t do all the tests but take the money! How hard is it to tell someone they’re in the clear (which is what they want to hear) without doing all the relevant tests?
Money aside - I’d still feel safer going to a gum clinic or GP practice! X |

Coming from overseas I was used to going to my doctor.
Here they said we don’t do that and said to go to GUM... wtf is a GUM...
Researched ..,, went ... not a private experience as I felt like a cow being dipped, pricked, de horned etc and pushed out the shoot .... due to the numbers two days in a row by 8.30am at the clinic ...,I couldn’t get an appt
so
I too went online and assumed the £120 test kits were the official ones and was rather peeved .... a bit more research and I found the free one however it wasn’t easy ...... kit arrived ... did bloods, swabs ....the lot and received various texts within a few days saying all cleared ....some of us don’t / didn’t know about GUM clinic or free testing kits

Google your nearest GUM clinic, make an appointment/turn up/get tests done for free/save £120. Its not hard OP and you have been given this advice before. You are coming across as a sulky teenager. |

I feel the need for a collective, giant eye roll!
If anyone on here feels that's it's embarrassing, they'll be seen and judged or that there is still stigma attached to anything to do with looking after your sexual health then maybe you should rethink what you are doing having casual sex and being on here.
It really is very frightening that people are prepared to take risks with their sexual health and even more scary, that of others!! |

Some clubs also have a roving gum clinic that pops in for a few hours every week during the day to do tests and you then get a text the following week for yay or nay. That is for everything; the three swabs and the stabbing |
