Sh24 sti testing cancellation and cuts

Just a quick word for nayone who was planning on using SH24 ( Ireland republic and North ) free online STI and STD testing, there have been alot of budget cuts and SH24 are sadly limited to the tests they can send out per day , so if you would like to get tested , or think you should pop on SH24 first thing in the morning and keep an eye until the stock is back up

as always if you feel you may have an STI just call your clinic or GP :slight_smile: xx

I think all tests are pretty much out of stock for anything right now. NHS are doomed right now

And HRT is as rare as hens teeth at the minute.

Sheffield Council have a brilliant STI/STD test service. They send out easy to use kits very quickly and turn around results equally quickly. There is even a little map in the kit showing you where the nearest postboxes to you are to aid return. Amazing!

I’ve also not had any problems getting kits in my area - so quick and easy! It’s such a brilliant service. I’ve also found that since Covid my GP started doing my form of contraception which I could previously only get by going to the clinic - being able to go to the GP to get my injection makes so much more sense and I’m hoping it will give sexual health clinics more time and appointments to those who really need the specialist advice!

yup agreed. Sexual health is the first thing that takes a cut when the budgets are done for health , nightmare

What’s the name of the service? Sounds amazing Unfortunately it’s not like that at all here in ireland.
