Really prompt results

Really prompt results! Also great customer service on the phone lines! No judgement, just very professional and friendly customer care. Medication dispatched quickly! And common sense used throughout unlike the local GUM clinic who take 3/4 weeks to report back!

Amazing service

Amazing service, I would give it 100 stars if I could.

My kit was dispatched within hours and arrived the next day. Very easy instructions to follow. It was quick and convenient.

After 3 months of having recurrent UTIs and being frustrated with the NHS saying that everything was normal, this clinic finally found the cause to be e.coli. I’m very grateful for being able to access this service and having found the cause of my issues.

Costumer support is perfect! Emailed them a couple times with questions and they always replied back within a couple hours and were super helpful.

I cannot recommend this clinic enough and will definitely keep using them if I ever need to.

I would like to send them a massive thank you for helping me so much and for having such and excellent service.

Speedy Service, Frustrating Results

The test itself arrived very fast, and results were timely.
However, upon receiving results, matters became too confusing and were not helped by the misleading practices of this company.
I was told, despite the website leading me to believe that I would get referred to treatment if I test positive, that I would have to instead go to a GUM clinic or GP to request medication.
I feel very misled in this situation, and it has caused too much hassle to seek treatment - my local GUM clinic doesn’t recognise it as a real condition despite international research proving that it causes long-term fertility issues, and my GP doesn’t know what it is, although they reluctantly agreed that treatment would be necessary.
The reason that I was given by theSTIClinic for not providing treatment is that BASHH guidelines do not recommend a specific treatment for the condition in question, when in reality, online testing providers are under scrutiny for not providing sufficient treatment as per revisited guidelines (from a BASHH statement on behalf of the Bacterial Special Interest Group). As such, rather than assisting me, they have opted to pass off the responsibility to the consumer. And despite continuing to offer the service of vaginal PCR, they state that the bacteria is commensal - so, if it is just a common, harmless bacteria, there’s no reason to offer tests, right?
The guidelines need to be reviewed (especially treatment regimes), and processes changed to allow patients to more easily seek assistance, ESPECIALLY if they are experiencing symptoms. This condition has been physically and psychologically affecting me for years, and it’s upsetting to think that many more people are currently and will continue to go through the same.

Reply from The STI Clinic

Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

It is not the case that this organism NEVER requires treatment; it is that treatment should only be instigated by an infection specialist. We say on the website that treatment is only provided in specialist settings for the organism in question.

I cannot find the statement from the Bacterial Special Interest Group to which you refer, but the co-chair of this group has attended one of our clinical meetings where this organism was discussed. We have consulted this clinician regarding our treatment protocols.

If you contact the help desk with any information that you feel needs to be brought to our attention, we will of course engage with you about that, but it is the case that treatment is not recommended on the basis of a PCR result alone.

Kind regards,

Robert MacKay
