Our walk-in LGBT sexual health clinic is now open at our new centre at 151 Hurst Street, Birmingham B5 6EW (at the Sherlock Street end of Hurst Street opposite the former Village Inn) and is open for STI testing (including HIV testing) as follows:
Monday 10am to 5pm
Tuesday 10am to 5pm
Wednesday 10am to 5pm
Thursday 10am to 8pm
Friday 10am to 8pm
Saturday 10.30am to 5pm
This is a walk-in service, no appointment is required, but you may have to wait at busy times. The tests take about 45 minutes: the HIV result will be provided immediately and the other test results will be sent to you by text message around 10 days after your test.
Please note that these tests are designed for people with no symptoms.
If you have symptoms (e.g. a rash or other change in your skin, pain when urinating, a discharge, swelling or bleeding) you should make an appointment with Umbrella Health, Whittall Street, Birmingham B4 6DH, where you will be seen by a nurse or doctor who can prescribe drugs to treat STIs. You can phone 0121 237 5700 for an appointment, or you can attend without an appointment, but may have to wait to be seen. Umbrella Health also operate a clinic at 65 New Street, Birmingham B2 4DU for people aged under 25. You can make an appointment by calling 0121 237 5700.
Details of the Umbrella Health nurse-led clinics at the Birmingham LGBT Centre will be announced when they re-start following our move.
The whole process of rapid HIV testing takes 20 minutes and can be done in a few easy steps:
