Instant HIV Test London

City Doc is proud to offer instant HIV Tests in London, providing a private walk-in service. They also offer an array of complementary sexual health checks and procedures including the revolutionary cervical cancer vaccine-Gardasil.
The instant HIV test London allows us to give results in 60 seconds for patients seen more than 90 days after contact. We use the HIV Duo test as our gold standard test and provide results within 3-4 hours at our GUM clinic London. The HIV Duo test includes HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies and the p24 antigen and is one of the most accurate HIV tests available. Our HIV testing service is extensive and includes the 10 days post contact HIV pro-viral test, which is the most accurate early test. Pre and post, test counselling is offered to all our private patients. At our private std test London, we have a philosophy of providing quick, accurate results using cutting edge lab technology and providing pre and post test support.
It is estimated that around 83,000 people were living with HIV in the UK at the end of 2008, of whom more than a quarter (27%) were unaware of their infection. Globally, more than 30 million people are infected with HIV and two million die of the disease each year. While ARVs have been a huge success in preventing the virus from causing full-blown Aids, scientists estimate only 12% of those living with the infection receive the drugs. This figure obviously takes into account countries such as South Africa and as such not wholly representative of western cultures such as the UK and America. What it does highlight is the development of vaccinations and treatment plans for those diagnosed with HIV. Early detection is an important step in providing long term support for those diagnosed with the HIV infection.
As highlighted recently in the pink paper - One in seven gay men in London has HIV and two-thirds of undiagnosed men think that they are negative, so it is essential that people understand the importance of regular HIV testing. Late diagnosis is one of the biggest contributing factors to illness and death for people with HIV and data shows us that testing early can add 16 years to someone’s life.
Which is ironic as testing for HIV has never been this fast or easy. With Instant HIV Tests readily available in London. The Citydoc chain has clinics located in Moorgate, the West end and Canary Wharf you can walk-in off the street and are open six days a week.
