Sexual health is one of the areas where people most value not sitting in a waiting room. Consultations are private, and kept separate from your NHS record unless you ask otherwise.
Nothing is shared with your NHS GP without your explicit consent. Sexual health care is kept separate from your main record unless you ask otherwise.
No waiting room, no reception desk, no one you might know sitting opposite you.
Most STIs need at least 14 days after exposure to be detectable. A fourth-generation HIV test is conclusive at 45 days after exposure, though it can detect many infections from around ten days. The GP will tell you when to test rather than letting you test too early and be falsely reassured.
Sample at an accredited clinic, results reviewed with you, treatment arranged if needed.
If a possible HIV exposure was within the last 72 hours, do not book an appointment. Post-exposure prophylaxis is time-critical and loses effectiveness by the hour. Go to A&E or a sexual health clinic now — both provide it free.
Emergency contraception is also time-sensitive and available free from pharmacies and sexual health clinics, usually the same day.
The questions are specific because the answers change the testing and the treatment: how many partners and over what period, what kind of sex, whether condoms were used, whether partners were male, female or both, and whether anyone has been diagnosed with anything.
None of this is asked out of curiosity, and none of it will be met with surprise. An accurate answer means the right tests; a diplomatic one means the wrong ones.
Testing too early gives false reassurance, which is the worst possible outcome. Window periods differ by infection:
The GP will tell you when to test rather than testing on the day and calling it clear.
If you have had oral or anal sex, a urine sample alone will miss infections. Throat and rectal swabs are needed, and they are frequently omitted — including by online kits. Self-taken swabs are as accurate as clinician-taken ones, so this is not a reason to be seen in person.
Nothing is shared with your NHS GP without your explicit consent. Sexual health care is kept separate from your main record unless you ask otherwise.
NHS sexual health services are free and genuinely excellent. If that is the better route for you we will say so. What we offer is speed, privacy and an appointment that fits your day — not better clinical care.
If exposure was within the last 72 hours, do not book an appointment. Post-exposure prophylaxis is time-critical and available now from A&E or a sexual health clinic.
Discussed with a GP rather than sent as a text saying "normal". If anything is positive you will be told what it means, how it is treated, and what to do about partners — in a conversation, not a message.
Gonorrhoea is treated with an intramuscular injection of ceftriaxone, and syphilis with intramuscular penicillin. Neither can be given by video, and the oral alternatives are meaningfully less effective — gonorrhoea in particular has developed substantial resistance.
Where a result points that way, we will arrange a sexual health clinic rather than prescribe something weaker by tablet. That is the right answer even though it means sending you elsewhere.
Uncomfortable and genuinely important — an untreated partner means reinfection, and for chlamydia in particular means avoidable damage to fertility.
NHS sexual health clinics will notify partners anonymously on your behalf. They contact them without naming you. It is free, it is a normal part of what they do, and it removes the hardest part of this entirely. Use it.
If exposure was within the last 72 hours, do not book an appointment. Post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV is time-critical and gets less effective by the hour. Go to A&E or a sexual health clinic now — both provide it free.
Some treatments cannot be given remotely, because they are injections. Gonorrhoea is treated with intramuscular ceftriaxone and syphilis with intramuscular penicillin. Where the result points that way, you need a sexual health clinic, and we will arrange it rather than prescribe something less effective by tablet.
NHS sexual health clinics remain the better route for several things: free treatment, free PEP and PrEP, anonymous partner notification, and on-site microscopy that gives an answer the same hour. What we offer is privacy and speed, not superior care, and we will say so where the clinic is the sensible choice.
PrEP is not issued at a first appointment. It requires a baseline HIV test, kidney function and hepatitis B status first, then monitoring every three months. We can start that process; we cannot compress it.
What needs examining: genital ulcers, lumps and testicular swelling. Photographs help, but there is a limit to what any clinician can conclude from one — a testicular lump in particular needs examination and often a scan, and we will refer rather than reassure.
Under-16s are not seen for sexual health remotely. Where a consultation raises concerns about coercion, exploitation or a child at risk, we have safeguarding duties and will act on them.
For several things, yes — and we will say so rather than take your money.
NHS sexual health services are free, genuinely excellent, and better than us at: treatment requiring injections, free PEP and PrEP, anonymous partner notification, and on-site microscopy giving an answer the same hour.
What we offer is privacy, speed and an appointment that fits your day — not superior clinical care. If the clinic is the better route for your situation, that is what we will tell you.
This is the question that matters most, because testing too early gives false reassurance.
If you test early and it is negative, you will need to repeat it. Better to be told that than to be reassured wrongly.
If there is any HIV risk, go to A&E or a sexual health clinic now rather than booking with us. PEP must start within 72 hours and works better the sooner it begins. It is free.
If emergency contraception is needed, that is also time-critical and free from pharmacies and sexual health clinics.
Then test at the right interval for everything else.
Urine alone is not enough if you have had oral or anal sex — and this is one of the commonest gaps in testing, including with postal kits.
Chlamydia and gonorrhoea live perfectly happily in the throat and rectum with no symptoms at all, and a urine test will not find them. Self-taken throat and rectal swabs are as accurate as clinician-taken ones.
Not without your explicit consent. Sexual health information is treated with additional confidentiality, and nothing is shared with your NHS GP unless you ask us to.
The same applies at NHS sexual health clinics, which operate separately from GP records by design.
Not at a first appointment, and no responsible service would offer it that way. PrEP requires a baseline HIV test, kidney function and hepatitis B status first, then monitoring every three months.
We can start that process — but worth knowing that PrEP is free on the NHS through sexual health clinics, along with the monitoring, and for most people that is the better route.
Photographs help and we look at them routinely. But there is a limit to what any clinician can conclude from an image, and some things need examining.
A testicular lump in particular needs in-person assessment and usually a scan — we will refer rather than reassure. Genital ulcers usually need swabbing, which means being seen.
Get tested, and ask whether you should be treated without waiting for your result — for some infections that is standard, because treating both partners simultaneously is what prevents the cycle of reinfection.
Bring what you know: which infection, when they were treated, and whether you have had sex since.

Same-day access is usually available, from 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. You choose a time that suits you rather than waiting on hold at 8am.
Yes. Care is led personally by Dr Mohammad Khan, so you are not passed between clinicians. Continuity is the point of a small practice: someone who knows your history and is listening attentively rather than working through a checklist.
Yes, with your consent. We can access your Summary Care Record during the consultation, so your current medications, allergies and significant history are in the room. That means fewer questions you have already answered elsewhere, and safer prescribing.
No. We are not here to replace GPs, only to support them. Your NHS practice remains responsible for your ongoing care, and with your consent we write to them after the consultation. We are useful when you need to be seen sooner, or want more time than a standard appointment allows.
Twenty unhurried minutes and a comprehensive assessment. A written treatment plan is included, along with any prescription, sick note or referral letter arising from the consultation, at no extra charge.
£40 for 20 minutes, self-pay. Membership is optional and never required. Priced for fairness, because we are not here to charge extortionate amounts for access to a doctor.
It means the diagnosis can usually be made from your history and photographs, and that treatment can be arranged safely without examining you. Where a condition is not marked treatable online, it is because examination is the diagnosis — listening to a chest, feeling an abdomen, examining an ear or a joint — or because a procedure or device is needed.
Yes, where there is a genuine bacterial infection — cellulitis, impetigo, bacterial urine infections, confirmed strep throat. We will also frequently tell you that you do not need one. Most sore throats, coughs, colds and earaches are viral, and an antibiotic gives you the side effects with none of the benefit.
If your problem turns out to be genuinely outside what we can do remotely, the doctor will tell you straight away, point you to the right service, and refund your fee in full. We would rather do that than fill twenty minutes to justify the charge.
Call 999 or go to A&E — do not book an online appointment and do not wait for a reply to an email. For urgent problems that are not emergencies, NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, online or by phone, and can direct you to the right service.
