Ayrshire

Our Ayrshire centre offers a range of testing and sexual health advice, including a range of hepatitis C services.

We offer postal tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to people living in Ayrshire.

These kits are free, confidential and easy to use. To receive a kit, you need to answer a few short questions so we can make sure the service is right for you. The information we collect is treated as confidential and is never shared with anyone. For more information, see our privacy policy.

Please note, for test kits to be processed it is important that samples must be returned to the lab correctly labelled and with correctly completed paperwork within eight weeks of receiving the kit. Otherwise we cannot guarantee that your test will be processed. Thank you.

We can also test in person on a walk-in basis for the following STIs:

• chlamydia
• gonorrhoea
• syphilis.

You will receive your results in five to seven days.

Our rapid HIV test provides a result you read yourself in just a few minutes.
