How do I get a prescription?
Customers across the UK have often complained that they have difficulty getting a prescription when they get a positive result. Also, they often visit a doctor or NHS SH centre, which leads to a waste of many hours and travel costs and paying private Doctors’ fees.
Medicines Online is the first UK Diagnostic Laboratory to bundle a Prescription Referral Service with its STI STD Test Product check solutions.
Bundle in at the time of Purchase: Price £30
- You can select the package at the time of the order. The price is a special bundle price.

Accuracy
The accuracy of any of our diagnostic tests is defined as the combination of sensitivity and specificity variables. Sensitivity is the test’s ability to confirm positive results; specificity eliminates negative results. All our tests are validated with high accuracy (up to 98.5%).
Variables
Accuracy can be affected by various factors that our lab cannot control. However, infection intensity, patient health, and sample quality, are dependent on adherence to “home sampling” procedures, can all limit the results. And although our tests are extremely sensitive, a poor-quality swab makes it harder to detect the presence of infection, as fewer viral particles will be present. Please carefully consider the information sheet accompanying your sample collection kit to ensure a high-quality sample.
Detection
The 3 In 1 STI profile PCR detection test accurately checks the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Ureaplasma urealyticum bacteria in the sample. Also, it can accurately distinguish between the presence of each of these common STIs.
Also, any diagnosis should be discussed with your healthcare provider. And the Results from the Medicines Online screening laboratory are intended to be viewed with a patient’s medical history, diet, genetics, lifestyle, and other factors that may influence test results, which should be shared with your GP when discussing these results.
Positive result
A positive result suggests the presence of viral particles in the sample during testing. Upon receiving positive results, you should contact your healthcare provider for treatment. You can also gain a prescription through our website. It is possible any or all of the bacteria checked for do not present symptoms of the disease, but you may still be infectious to others.
Negative result
While this STD check can provide reassurance, it is important to understand its significance. This means the exam did not detect the presence of infection at the time of testing. And the results should still be discussed with a healthcare provider while considering lifestyle and sexual history. Furthermore, if you are in contact with someone who has STD tests and is positive for the disease or has begun to present symptoms consistent with the disease, you should contact your GP.

“My body is a temple of damnation.”
I got chlamydia from an ex once. We didn’t use a condom, and the very same week, he called me to tell me he had a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The next day, he came over to hand me the pills he had received from the medical centre. “I’ll say I lost them to get new ones,” he told me.
I found it sweet but decided to get an STD Profile Home test, too, just in case. Who knows, maybe I’d slipped through the cracks and didn’t have to take those pills? Alas, the results were positive. I did have chlamydia, which was “also in your anus,” my doctor helpfully added.
I burst out laughing, which maybe was slightly inappropriate.
It wasn’t because I was ashamed of having anal sex but because I had never heard of an anal STD. The pills I was given were different from my ex’s. Good thing I got tested. Otherwise, I would still be walking around with chlamydia in my ass right now.
I asked some young people about their most unpleasant STD experiences, how they contracted them and what they learned from them. For obvious reasons, they all asked to use an alias.
I developed blisters on my vulva.
“Last summer, I found out from an STI Profile Test I had contracted an STD at Lowlands [a music festival in the Netherlands]. On the first night of the festival, I was completely off my face and had sex with a guy I had just met. We didn’t use a condom, so I had to take a morning-after pill the next day.
Not long after, I found out I had herpes. I had a gross, smelly discharge and pain while peeing, and I developed blisters on my vulva. It was very uncomfortable, although I’ve heard much more disastrous stories about herpes.
In the beginning, I had a bad feeling about that night.
My body was pretty upset because of the herpes and the morning-after pill, and I didn’t have my period for a while.
The other day, I met a cute guy, and my vulva started getting sore. I immediately stressed out. Luckily, it wasn’t herpes – but the idea that I can potentially infect my sex partners with something they have to keep forever is very unpleasant.
Overall, this experience allowed me to have a more sensible relationship with my sex health. I get tested regularly; I take it seriously. I also communicate about it with friends and sexual partners.”
– Elisabeth, 24
Did you know that when I went to the toilet to check, my pants were full of yellow shit?
“As we speak, I have pubic lice. It’s extremely itchy; I’m constantly scratching. About two weeks ago, I noticed something lying there. It was moving. I picked it off my skin and took a close look at it. ‘What the fuck, it’s a louse,’ I thought. Gross.
I don’t know how I caught it; I had unprotected sex with several people. I have quite a history of STDs. Besides pubic lice, I’ve had chlamydia once and gonorrhoea twice. I know this because I have regular STI Tests from the Medicines Online shop.
Two years ago, while I was at work, I felt something sticky in my pants. When I went to the toilet to check, they were full of yellow discharge shit. I had gonorrhoea and had to take antibiotics.
After that, I said to myself, ‘I’m only going to have safe sex; my body is a temple.’ But a few weeks later, I thought, ‘Fuck it, I’ll do it without condoms.’
A year later, I was on holiday and felt sick.
I sat on my bed and saw pus coming out of my dick. I saw a doctor who did an injection in my ass [to treat the gonorrhoea]. That time, I got sick and promised myself once more never to have unprotected sex again. But even after that, things quickly went wrong again. It seems like I never learned my lesson.
If you have an STD, you should inform your sex partners. I don’t – I know it’s bad, but I find it too embarrassing. Get an STI Test to keep informed. The way I treat my body is reckless and stupid. My body is a temple of damnation. Rationally, I know it’s super important to have safe sex, but I can’t keep it up. The silly but honest reason for this is I get hornier without a condom.” – Piet, 32
Wow, can you believe it? Results were positive both vaginally and in my nipple piercing.
The last person I’d had sex with [before him] was my ex. We’d broken up because he had made out with someone else. He’d told me he hadn’t had sex with her, but the STD had to come from him since I hadn’t had any other sex partners yet. Busted.
After the breakup, I had sex with my ex again, so I sent him a text to warn him [about my STDs]. He tested positive for chlamydia. That’s when I knew for sure: I contracted two different STDs from two different guys.
Physically, it wasn’t too bad except for my nipple piercing, which was badly infected. It hurt so much I couldn’t even bend over.
It turned out I tested positive both vaginally and in my nipple piercing.
I was given pills to treat chlamydia. They made me feel nauseous because I took them on an empty stomach. For gonorrhoea, I was given an injection in my butt cheek, which caused a minor muscle ache afterwards, but that was fine.
Since then, I have been more likely to use a condom with people I don’t know – it was not the case before that. Fortunately, today I can laugh about the whole story.” – Mimi, 20
If I hadn’t checked, I might still be walking around with chlamydia.
“My STD Test story is a bit complicated. In the summer of 2020, I broke up with my first boyfriend. A few months later, I had a brief relationship with Rik. They were the only two guys I’d ever had sex with. Then I met a guy on Tinder named Bas, with whom I had my first one-night stand. After we had sex, he sent me a message saying I should get tested for STDs because he had physical symptoms.
It seemed impossible to me. I had two monogamous relationships and had casual sex once, and now this?
I went to my GP in a panic.
The result turned out to be negative. I felt relieved but had a weird feeling in my stomach. So, I decided to contact my GP again to double-check. ‘Oh, your urine test is not back yet,’ she said. It turned out they’d made a mistake.
The next morning, I got a call: I did have chlamydia. I might still be walking around with it and its consequences if I hadn’t checked.
I still don’t know whom I had this STD Test from, but I feel I have the right to know. Even though it was solved with two pills, I found it uncomfortable and complicated. Since then, I’ve got checked regularly, and I want to tell everyone: Get tested, even if you’ve had few sex partners.” – Dauphine, 26
