Free STI Testing: with Terrence Higgins Trust

The University of Bristol’s Student Union, in collaboration with Terrence Higgins Trust, is hosting free STI testing events held at the Senate House Loft; designed to raise awareness, promote sexual health, and facilitate access to essential STI testing services to students. 

Students can be tested on the day and will receive their results within 2-3 weeks. You are given swabs to take the toilet, you return these and that is it! Students have the option to take STI test kits away and can return the samples via a free post service.

‘What can you expect when you come to the loft?’ 

  • To be greeted by friendly staff (from THT and SU) and be provided with information and advice about sexual health.

‘Do you get tested on the day?’

  • Yes, or you can take a test home and send it off at your convenience. 

‘When will I get results etc?’

  • 2-3 weeks later.

‘How does the testing work?’ 

  • You are given swabs and take this to the toilet, you return these and that is it!

‘Which STIs can I be tested for?’
