SameDayDoctor has been established since 2003 and over the years we have been at the forefront of making rapid hiv and STD or STI tests available to our patients with full confidentiality and rapid results.  We are also backed up by Consultant level in house advice and our specialists can treat patients with HIV infection as well as offer PEP and PrEp to suitable patients.

We have worked closely with our laboratory to develop same day highly accurate tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea which have given much comfort and support to many people.  Furthermore we can test for HIV 1 and 2, syphilis, hepatitis B and C on blood samples, also with same day results.  Instant HIV testing is available to suitable patients with exposure over 3 months previously.

Other tests we can perform include herpes simplex virus, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, trichomonas, BV, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Non Specific Urethritis (NSU) as well as offering the full range of support for all genital infections and sexual health problems.

We can carry out several different types on HIV test.  For sexual exposure more than 90 days previously an instant HIV test can produce reliable results within a minute.  Exposure between 28 and 90 days can be tested with same day results using the DUO test which looks for HIV 1 and 2 antibodies as well as the P24 antigen.  For patients who have had a potentially risky contact between 10 and 28 days there is a reliable early detection test which gives same day results .

Mycoplasma genetalium is becoming increasingly prevalent and we can test for this too in addition to our regular same day chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing. SameDayDoctor is a one stop shop for all sexual health needs including contraceptive services with IUD/IUB and implant insertion and removal and swab testing for all gynaecological infections and cervical smear testing.
