S.T.I Testing Kits

Service designed specifically for the gay community

Lloydspharmacy has launched a new STI testing service designed specifically for gay and bisexual men. The launch of the Man2Man STI Test comes on the back of figures released earlier this summer by the UK Health Protection Agency (HPA), which show STI rates are on the increase for men who have sex with men.

The Man2Man STI testing kit is available on the Lloydspharmacy Online Doctor website in conjunction with the Millivres Prowler Group (http://www.prowler.co.uk/doctor. ) and includes a urine test for genital chlamydia and genital gonorrhoea, a rectal swab for chlamydia and gonorrhoea and a throat swab for gonorrhea.

About the new Man2Man testing kit:

 • The testing kit costs £89.99

• Once ordered the test pack will be delivered by first class post. Patients simply collect the samples and post them back to the Online Doctor laboratory in the pre-paid pre-addressed packaging

• Test results are normally ready within two to three working days and will be completely confidential. Lloydspharmacy will not inform the user’s GP or anyone of results unless specifically asked to do so

 • If patients test positive they will be given advice about the best treatment options available
