Hi
As posted in a previous thread i'm really worried i've caught something after ending up with a prostitute when drunk (this isn't something i'm proud of and is the first and last time i'll do anything that stupid)
I don't really have any symptoms but would like to be checked for STI's just to put my mind at rest. Can i book an appt and get some tests done even though i don't have any symptoms?, will they just think i'm wasting their time ??
Thanks
Andy

Hey Andy, gum clinics usually have drop-in times so it's often difficult to book an appointment in advance, but if you turn up 10 mins before the drop-in opens then you should be able to secure a place. You can call to find out the times - they often have a recorded message. They really won't think you're wasting their time and it's good to put your mind at ease.
Here's TheSite.org's factsheet on visiting a gum clinic which includes an FAQ, audio file and a video tour of a clinic - http://www.thesite.org/sexandrelationships/safersex/sexualhealth/faqvisitingagumclinic
Hope it helps
