GUM Clinic Information
What Is A GUM Clinic?
A GUM clinic is a highly confidential
clinic established for the diagnosis and treatment of sexual health related
illnesses. As well as testing for sexually transmitted diseases, advice can be
provided on various matters of sexual health. GUM clinic health practitioners
are specially trained to offer advice without judging and are typically able to
offer more time than your family doctor or other health practitioner. The
Sameday Doctor GUM clinic can usually arrange appointments on the same day that
you contact us so you can find out the facts and be tested without having the panic
of uncertainty.
Is Our GUM Clinic Confidential?
Confidentiality is a legal requirement
within a GUM clinic. Not only can you be tested and treated without the GUM
clinic having to report to your doctor (unless they referred you in the first
place) or insurance company but you can choose any GUM clinic and do not need
to provide your real name when making an appointment. All patients are treated
with the utmost respect as well as confidentiality so you can seek advice and
receive treatment without having to worry.
Doctor Referrals
If you believe you have contracted an
STD and want an STD Test then it often makes more sense to contact a GUM clinic before your family
doctor. When a doctor refers you to us we are obliged to report our findings
back to them. However, if you visit us before contacting a doctor we do not
need to inform anybody of the tests given, or results received. Records of your
tests that are provided to a doctor will go on your medical record and this can
cause difficulties when attempting to gain insurance or even a mortgage in the
future.
GUM Clinic Tests
One of the primary concerns of a GUM
clinic is the testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Painless testing is
offered for the majority of ailments with urinary tests being the most likely
requirement. Tests like the umbrella test are an urban myth and are not carried
out by any GUM clinic. You can first discuss your problems with one of our
skilled and qualified practitioners, and they will inform you of the most
effective tests as well as any potential treatment for possible infections.
