Confidential
All tests are private
You can get tested however old you are, and even if you're under 16 the results are completely private. You will be asked for some basic details about yourself, like your name, age and contact details but these will not be passed on to your parents, carers or anyone else.

Sexually Transmitted Infections
STI stands for sexually transmitted infection – meaning an infection you can catch if you have sex with someone who's got one. STIs can affect anyone who's ever had sex, both girls and boys, and you often don't know that you've got them.
The most common STIs are chlamydia, gonorrhoea, genital warts and herpes. Sometimes you can tell that you've got an STI, but there are sometimes no signs that you can see. Most of them are easy to treat, but they can be serious if you don't do anything about them, so it's important that you get a test.
