Providing Sexual Health Services to the People of Islington

Looking for a sexual health clinic Islington patients can access quickly, privately and without feeling judged? Broadgate GP provides confidential private sexual health appointments near Islington, based at 65 London Wall, close to Liverpool Street.

That location makes us a practical choice if you live in Islington, Angel, Upper Street, Highbury or Canonbury, work in the City, or want a discreet appointment away from your usual GP surgery.

Sexual health worries can feel difficult to talk about. You may have symptoms, need STI testing, want emergency contraception advice, need pregnancy testing, or feel anxious after unprotected sex. You might simply want a doctor to tell you what to do next.

Our private GP team can help you discuss your concern clearly, choose the right tests, and understand any treatment or follow-up needed. Appointment and test fees apply, and your doctor will explain any recommended tests before they are carried out.

Need a confidential sexual health clinic near Islington?

A private appointment can be useful when you want clear advice without waiting longer than necessary. At Broadgate GP, adults aged 18 and over can book sexual health services in a calm, confidential clinical setting.

You can speak to a doctor about:

  • STI testing and treatment
  • HIV testing
  • Chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing
  • Syphilis, herpes, hepatitis and other STI tests
  • Pregnancy testing
  • Emergency contraception advice
  • Contraception and the pill
  • PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis advice
  • Symptoms such as pain, discharge, itching, sores or bleeding
  • Sexual health advice after a past or recent sexual contact

 

Many people delay seeking advice because they feel embarrassed or unsure whether they need a test. You do not need to wait for symptoms. Some STIs can be present without obvious signs, so testing can still be important even if you feel well.

What sexual health services can Broadgate GP help with?

Our sexual health clinic near Islington is designed to give you practical answers. Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms, sexual history, contraception, medical history and any treatment you may already have had.

Depending on your situation, your appointment may include:

  • A private consultation with a doctor
  • STI testing based on your symptoms or risk
  • Blood tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis or other infections
  • A urine sample or swab
  • Pregnancy testing

Can you get STI testing and treatment quickly?

Yes. Broadgate GP offers private STI testing for patients travelling from Islington, Camden and nearby parts of north and central London.

You may want to book if:

  • You have had unprotected sex
  • A condom has split
  • A partner has told you they have an STI
  • You have a new partner
  • You have symptoms you are worried about
  • You want a routine sexual health check
  • You are unsure whether you need treatment

 

The right test depends on the infection, timing and symptoms. Some infections are best tested after a certain window period, so it is worth discussing your situation with a doctor rather than guessing.

Some results may be available the same day. Others may take longer, often up to 72 hours depending on the test and laboratory process. If treatment is needed, your doctor will explain your options and advise whether a partner should seek advice too.

Support for HIV, PrEP and PEP

If you are worried about HIV, seek advice quickly. Broadgate GP can discuss HIV testing, PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis, often called PEP.

PEP is medicine that may reduce the chance of HIV infection after possible exposure. It must be started within a limited time frame, so you should contact a doctor urgently if you think you may need it.

PrEP is different. It is medicine taken by HIV-negative people to reduce the risk of getting HIV. A doctor can discuss whether PrEP may be suitable, what testing is needed, and how to protect your sexual health going forward.

Is your sexual health appointment confidential?

Yes. Sexual health appointments at Broadgate GP are handled discreetly and confidentially.

Many patients worry that their GP, employer, partner, friend or family member will find out about their visit. Your consultation, tests and results are private medical information. We will not share your information without your permission, except where there is a serious risk of harm or a legal duty to act.

You can ask about confidentiality before your appointment starts. If you would like a friend, partner or family member with you for support, let the doctor or clinic team know.

You should seek advice if you have symptoms, have had unprotected sex, are worried about HIV exposure, need emergency contraception, or want testing after a new partner.

  • Itching, soreness or irritation
  • Blisters, lumps, ulcers or sores

In many cases, the infection is not accompanied by any symptoms until a later stage. Getting tested will allow you to detect any infections at an early stage and prevent them from developing into more serious threats to your health or the health of your partner. Most sexual health infections can be treated with antibiotics. We offer a wide range of individual tests as well as special packages with very competitive prices. You can discuss the most appropriate testing package for you with the doctor during your appointment at the clinic. Book your appointment online today at Broadgate GP.
