REMOTE TESTING – self tests (grab bags)

You can order a self testing kit (grab bag) for chlamydia and gonorrhoea through our Online Booking service for pick up at Galashiels Health Centre. Or call us on: 01896 663700. You need to wait for 14 days after unprotected sex to allow infection to show.

This service is for people who do not have any symptoms.

If you do have symptoms, or if you are a man who has sex with men (MSM) or you are worried about HIV or Syphilis infection, please call us on: 01896 663700 to allow us to book you into the appropriate clinic with a Specialist Nurse.

The kit will include a swab or a urine pot with instructions on how to do your test at home and how to access your results – which can take up to 14 days. You can then drop your sample off at any Borders Health Centre or Medical Practice.
