An STI (sexually transmitted infection) screen is a set of tests that check for common sexual-health infections - typically chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis and, in fuller screens, hepatitis and others. Testing may involve a blood sample, a urine sample or swabs, and is recommended after unprotected sex, with a new partner, or simply for peace of mind. Many private screens offer fast, discreet results.

How much does a sti / sexual-health screen cost in the UK?
Across the 3 clinics we track in the UK, a sti / sexual-health screen is advertised at £600–£750; the midpoint is £600. What you actually pay comes down to the clinic you pick and how complex your case turns out to be.
Why do prices vary so much?
Prices for a sti / sexual-health screen reflect materials used, the clinician’s experience, the complexity of your individual case, and the clinic’s location. That is how the same treatment can be advertised at £600 by one clinic in the UK and £750 by another. “From” prices show the lowest advertised starting point, not a guaranteed final cost.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No - they are the advertised private fees we collected from each clinic, and clinics change them. Use them to shortlist, then confirm the exact cost with the clinic before you book.
Prices shown are indicative of advertised private fees and may change. They are a guide only - your individual treatment may differ. Always confirm the exact cost directly with the clinic before booking.
