Your Sexual Health: private sexual health testing in the UK

Your Sexual Health is a private provider of sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing operating in the UK. Its offering is built around confidentiality, fast results and the ability to choose between attending a clinic, testing at home or requesting a home visit. The company was founded by Dr Rashid Bani, a practising GP with a decade of experience in the private medical sector and the service's medical director, who personally selects the tests offered.

More than one hundred clinics and home testing alternatives

Your Sexual Health's network includes more than one hundred clinics across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. These clinics are general health centres, which helps make the visit discreet. For those who prefer not to travel, the company sends sample collection kits to the home or dispatches mobile phlebotomists to take the sample at home. It also offers an instant testing service, the fastest in its catalogue, with results in under thirty minutes while the patient waits.

Test catalogue and featured profiles

The catalogue covers the most common STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, genital herpes, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, trichomonas vaginalis and gardnerella vaginalis. The company organises these tests into profiles of varying scope. The Premium profile, the most requested according to the website, is a complete STI screen priced from £295, requires waiting 28 days from exposure and offers a turnaround time of three working days. The Early Detection Premium test, from £435, reduces the wait to 14 days and extends processing to five working days. The comprehensive profile, from £165, covers chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B and C, herpes simplex I/II (past infection), HIV and syphilis, with results in two working days. Prices and timeframes correspond to the information published on the site at the time of analysis.

Specific services: visas, assisted reproduction and full screening

In addition to general tests, Your Sexual Health offers services tailored to specific needs. It provides HIV tests for visa applications and STI tests linked to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments and pregnancy preparation. It also offers an informative guide on full STI screening and maintains a blog with educational content on how long symptoms take to appear, chlamydia in men and symptoms of oral STIs.

Results, confidentiality and medical support

Samples are processed at a UKAS-accredited laboratory, which supports the reliability of the results. These are delivered through a secure online portal accessible only to the patient. The company states that its name does not appear on bank statements. If the result is positive, it offers a free consultation with a private GP registered with the CQC, who can assess the result and, if appropriate, recommend treatment. There is also the option of discussing the result with the patient's own GP. The company presents itself as one of the leading private sexual health testing providers in the UK.

User profile and test selection process

The service is aimed at people seeking discretion and speed outside the public system, including adult industry professionals, according to a collaboration mentioned on the website with that sector in London. The page includes a guidance tool that, through questions about the reason for testing, symptoms and the time elapsed since exposure, helps identify the most suitable test. The company also publishes an editorial policy and maintains a presence on Trustpilot.
