Sexual Health Testing for people 15-24 living in Northumberland and North Tyneside

We’re supporting Northumbria Healthcare’s new campaign to encourage 15-24 year olds to look after their sexual health by ordering regular chlamydia and gonorrhoea home testing kits.

If you are sexually active you should aim to get tested at least once a year or every time you change partners, even if you have no symptoms.

We know it can be hard finding time to attend a clinic, but getting tested is now easier than ever! If you’re 15-24 and live in Northumberland or North Tyneside you can order a free, confidential and discreet home testing kit to be delivered directly to you door. You can complete the test at your own convenience and then all you have to do is pop it in the post box to return it. Confidential follow up and support will then be available should you need it.

For more information or to order your kit please visit www.northumbria.nhs.uk/c-andg-tests. If you’re worried about anything to do with your sexual health or would like to discuss something in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact the sexual health team, you can find the details here.
