I have some questions about STI testing. I have never had a proper test before, only a diy chlamidya test which you send off to get your results.
I am in a new relationship and have agreed with my boyfriend that we will both get tested before having sexual intercourse. He has had about three sexual partners but hasn't used a condom with any of them. He also has never been tested.
My first question is am I right in thinking a GP can do this testing for me? Or do I need to go to my local genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinic? I think they've moved the services so they are no longer in my hometown so a GP would be preferable.
My second question is what will they actually do during the tests? I haven't got any particular concern that anything is wrong although I have had some itching recently. I read somewhere they take a swab, but also urine samples.
Lastly, I know that sometimes a pregnancy test is taken as part of the routine testing. Am I allowed to say, if they want a urine sample to do all the tests, that I do not want a pregnancy test? I have my reasons for this.
Thankyou in advance!!
