About the STD6 Serology only without HIV
The STD6 Serology only without HIV is a confidential sexual health test available at Medical and Dental in Central London. A blood sample is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 1 day" and are delivered confidentially via secure email.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that targets the immune system, specifically CD4 cells. Modern testing methods include 4th generation tests that detect both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen, allowing for earlier detection — typically from 4 weeks after potential exposure. The window period varies depending on the test type: antibody-only tests may require up to 12 weeks for a conclusive result, while combined antigen/antibody tests can provide results from 4 weeks. According to UKHSA data, approximately 4,500 people were newly diagnosed with HIV in England in recent years. Early identification of HIV allows individuals to access antiretroviral treatment, which can reduce viral load to undetectable levels.
