We offer a full screening service for sexually transmitted infections. There are a large number of such infections in circulation, many of which can be picked up easily by men or women. 

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Genital warts

• Trichomonas

• Hepatitis B

• HIV

• Syphilis

• Herpes

In many cases you may not even know you are infected and can pass on an infection to a partner without realising it.

Our clinical staff have specific training in this area so can do all of the necessary swabs and blood tests.

You may find it easier to come for such testing in the privacy of a GP surgery rather than a busy public STI clinic in a hospital. Sligo and Letterkenny Hospitals do run GUM (Genito-Urinary Medicine) Clinics as free walk in services. Please contact 071 9170473 for Sligo or 074 912 3715 for Letterkenny.

A morning appointment is preferable so samples reach the lab in good time

If you have symptoms (discharge, pain, lumps, sores, burning on urination) please contact us as soon as possible as we may be able to start you on treatment while we wait to order tests. If we ask whether you are symptomatic, this is why.

If you DO NOT have symptoms and simply wish to be checked for peace of mind please wait a minimum of 10 days and ideally for 14 days after the date of the contact that you are concerned about as any possible infection can be undetectable before this, making your trip to us a waste of your time and money.

For men, please do not urinate for 1 hour before your appointment as this can affect the accuracy of any tests.
