I'm posting this as I thought it was a really good service.
I had unprotected sex with an ex a few months ago and had been meaning to get a test from my GP.
I had a smear booked in February so figured I'd ask then. Unfortunately that appointment was cancelled as I was unwell. (I actually believe I had Covid-19). Of course by the time I realised I needed to get it done we were in lockdown.
So I still needed to be tested...Iwas recommended to a site called Frisky Wales where you answer questions and request a test in the post. They cover all STIs and supply swabs for self testing. The questionnaire was quick and clear and the kit will take 5 to 7 days. Results are texted to you.
Just thought this was a good service worthy of telling others. |

I sent my samples off yesterday, as I was overdue an MOT. I think it was a trial programme that they've had to expand pretty rapidly because of Covid-19. My kit arrived within two days. I don't have any reason to worry about the results, but it'll be good to know. |

If you're doing this and you choose the blood test option, try and fill the little phial right up to the top. There are two lines marked on it, and first time I did it to the top of the two lines, but there wasn't enough blood to test for everything, apparently. Anyway, all clear, good service, and will use again.

I had a vasectomy last November and was due to have my sperm checked in March, to determine the success of the procedure. Unfortunately, Covid came along and my appointment was cancelled, so I still don’t yet know for sure if I’m firing blanks 
Don’t suppose anyone knows if there’s a similar service, online?  lol |

"Hope you managed to get your smear rebooked, my gp was still doing smear appts, it’s too important to miss  "
Practice nurse cant do smear as hospitals are not doing the testing. Wouldn't surprise me if a batch of women completely forget about smears now.. |

After seeing this thread over the weekend, I went onto the site and ordered a test kit and some condoms.
Test arrived yesterday and I sent it back. Great for a check up, when clinics arent seeing people.
Condoms arrived today
Definitely recommend |

My sister managed to get a smear done 2 weeks ago in Swansea, so some are doing them now. |

Let us know how quickly you get your results back. Mine were back in a couple of days, a female friend had to wait longer. I don't know if the female tests are more complicated. |

Test was sent back Monday afternoon.
Just had results via text. (Thursday)
3 days to get results.
Less than a week from ordering the kit to getting results.
Fantastic, easy service. Definitely use again and would recommend
Results were all negative by the way!!  |

"Sent mine off on a Friday, receive results late on the Monday evening. Brilliant service which I hope continues!
Thank you for posting the info here xx"
Would never have known about this service.
So thank you OP for bringing it to our attention  |

I got mine back about 3 weeks after I sent them.
So if you dont get quick results, dont panic, they just have a backlog. GUM clinics are also referring via the service as well due to closure of usual clinics.
But yes excellent service, I found out by accident!!! |
