When it's relevant
A new partner, a partner who has tested positive, symptoms such as discharge, pain or sores, or you would simply like a check.
Why it's worth a visit
Many infections cause no symptoms and can still cause harm or be passed on. Testing is simple and treatment is usually straightforward.
