Our clinics can help you with:

• Gonorrhoea
• HIV (PEP and PrEP)
• Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
• Molluscum contagiosum
• Non-specific urethritis
• Pubic lice
• Syphilis
• Thrush
• Trichomonas Vaginalis (TV)

Find out about STI’s on the Safe Sex Berkshire website

You can use our online order form if you live in Bracknell Forest, Slough, or Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.

Testing is for the four most common STI’s, which are Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, and HIV.

If you have had unprotected sex and are concerned about STI’s, you can order an STI screening kit to be delivered to your home.

If you’re symptomatic, we advise that you contact the clinic to discuss your options for screening and treatment.

If you think you might be pregnant, you can take a home pregnancy test on the first day of your missed period or three weeks after having unprotected sex.

We can also do pregnancy testing for you in any of our clinics and help you make an informed decision about continuing with your pregnancy, ending your pregnancy or adoption/fostering.

Psychosexual Counselling (East Berkshire residents only)

We offer psychosexual counselling and ask that all service users are referred by their GP following the below criteria:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Erectile disorders
• Genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (previous dyspareunia and vaginismus)
• Orgasmic dysfunction or anorgasmia

Premature and delayed ejaculation (for men)

Your GP is likely to carry out some tests, including bloods, blood pressure, cardiovascular risk assessment, genital examination, and/or trial of the medication Sildenafil (Viagra) (if suitable).

Pain during, or inability to have, penetrative sex (for women)

An examination is required to rule out any dermatology, gynaecology or urology conditions that will need treatment prior to a psychosexual therapy referral.

Please bring your referral letter if you have been to your GP.
