Private Sexual Health Clinic Serving Croydon Patients

Worried about a symptom, unprotected sex or a recent sexual partner? Waiting for answers can make an already stressful situation feel worse. Broadgate GP provides confidential private sexual health appointments for adults travelling from Croydon to our Central London clinic near Liverpool Street.

You do not need to know which test to request before you arrive. Tell our doctor what has happened, when it happened and whether you have noticed any symptoms. We can discuss suitable tests, explain how samples are taken and advise you about treatment or referral where required.

Our sexual health clinic Croydon service is available to people from East Croydon, West Croydon, Thornton Heath, Purley, Addiscombe, South Croydon and surrounding areas. Many patients find our London Wall location convenient when commuting into the City or when they would prefer to visit a clinic away from their local area.

Broadgate GP is a private clinic, so appointment, testing and treatment fees apply. Same-day appointments and walk-in access may be available. Call 020 7638 4330 or book online to speak to our team.

What Happens at Your Appointment?

Your appointment begins with a confidential conversation. The doctor may ask about your symptoms, medical history, recent sexual contact and contraception.

Depending on your circumstances, the consultation may include a review of exposure risks, advice about testing windows, urine, blood or swab samples and an examination where clinically useful. We can also discuss contraception, pregnancy, HIV prevention, treatment and referral.

You can ask questions at any stage. You may bring a trusted friend or family member for support, although the doctor may need to speak to you privately for part of the consultation.

Emergency Contraception and Pregnancy Testing

Emergency contraception may help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, a missed pill or contraceptive failure. The most suitable option depends on how much time has passed, your health and the contraception you currently use.

Seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible because emergency contraception is time-sensitive. We can also discuss when to take a pregnancy test, ongoing contraception and referral for procedures not available at our clinic.

Adults from South London may also find our information about reaching a private sexual health clinic from Southwark helpful.

HIV Testing and Urgent PEP Advice

HIV testing may be recommended after unprotected sex, a condom failure, a new partner or another possible exposure. It may also be included in a routine Croydon sexual health screen.

Post-exposure prophylaxis, known as PEP, is emergency medicine that may reduce the risk of HIV infection after exposure. It must be started urgently and no later than 72 hours after the possible exposure.

Do not wait for a routine private appointment if you believe you need PEP. Contact an NHS sexual health service or attend A&E as soon as possible.

What Does a Sexual Health Clinic Test For?

Broadgate GP can test for infections including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, herpes and hepatitis. Testing may involve a urine sample, blood sample or swab. The correct tests depend on your symptoms, the type of sexual contact involved and how long ago it happened.

Broadgate GP may provide testing for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, genital herpes, genital warts, mycoplasma, ureaplasma and trichomonas. We can also assess conditions such as thrush, bacterial vaginosis, urethritis, pubic lice and molluscum contagiosum.

Not every patient needs a full range of tests. A targeted test may be more useful in some circumstances. Your doctor will explain the options before any sample is taken.

Can You Have an STI Without Symptoms?

Yes. Several sexually transmitted infections can be present without causing noticeable symptoms. You may feel completely well while still carrying an infection that could affect your health or be passed to a sexual partner.

Testing may be sensible after unprotected sex, when beginning a new relationship or when a current or former partner has tested positive.

The timing of the test matters. Different infections have different testing windows, so testing immediately after contact may not always provide a reliable result. Your doctor can advise whether to test now or return later for repeat testing.

STI-Symptoms

When Should You Arrange a Croydon Sexual Health Appointment?

Book an appointment if something feels unusual or you believe you may have been exposed to an infection. Common symptoms include pain or burning when passing urine, unusual discharge, genital itching, soreness, blisters, ulcers, lumps, warts, pelvic pain, testicular pain, pain during sex, unexpected bleeding or a new rash.

These symptoms do not automatically mean you have a sexually transmitted infection. Cystitis, thrush, bacterial vaginosis and some skin conditions can cause similar symptoms. A consultation can help identify the likely cause and prevent you from choosing treatment based on guesswork.

Consider avoiding sexual contact until you have received medical advice. Where this is not possible, using condoms can reduce the chance of passing an infection to another person.
