I am looking at going to a brook centre this saturday, one of the london ones, either Euston or Brixton probably.
Has anyone been to either of these? Or another brook centre?
I was just wondering if someone could fill me in on what they are like there. Im kinda nervous, more for the test(s) I need
Thanks

It is a good place to go, although you do end up waiting for a silly amount of time to be seen. Like now I only go there to pick up the pill, and the minimum I have to wait for is half an hour (which considering its a drop in place, isn't that bad I suppose) I'm only seen for about 5 minutes though, they take my blood pressure, weigh me, give me the pills and I'm gone. Maybe I should go somewhere closer... but I don't know the procedure of anywhere else... Anyway, I'm rambling..
Its all confidential. They give you a number, and ask you what you want, then you just have to wait till your number is called.
I have never had any tests done there though, so I don't know about that part.
I hope this helps, if you have any other questions, just ask and I'll try to answer them Although, after you've been... I may ask you questions!
You will be fine; it's very informal and friendly.
Good Luck!!
Good to see that you guys rate Brook. In case you didn't know they answer the sexual health questions for our askTheSite service. They are really good and really care about young people.
They are centres that provide free and confidential sexual health advice and services specifically for young people under 25 - and yes this does include giving out free condoms
