LetsGetChecked Recorded an 8% Increase in STIs for July

CANARY WHARF, U.K. - Nov. 2, 2017 - PRLog -- For the month of July, LetsGetChecked medical team recorded a 13% positivity rate amongst our patients who used our convenient at-home sexual health diagnostic tests. This represents an 8% increase from our June positive results.

LetsGetChecked recorded a 14% rise in positive Chlamydia when compared to June, along with a 50% increase for positive Hep B results, 8% for HIV, and 6% for Syphilis. LetsGetChecked provided medical treatment to each patient enabling people to gain access to medical care that suits their schedule.

These results are of grave concern to LetsGetChecked Medical Director, Dr. Dominic Rowley, who is concerned that people are not having regular sexual health tests. LetsGetChecked discreet testing solution enables people to gain access to laboratory testing from the comfort of their home, along with a specialised medical team on demand to support and treat any issues.

With many STIs growing resistance to antibiotic treatment or not always presenting symptoms, there is a need for greater awareness on the importance of getting tested on a regular basis, as if untreated many STIs can lead to serious conditions, such as infertility.

LetsGetChecked sexual health tests are available in over 1,300 pharmacies across Ireland and the UK and you can also purchase directly from LetsGetChecked.com (https://www.letsgetchecked.com/us/en/account/activate-tes...), our medical team are on hand to advise you on what test suits you. All tests ordered arrive in discreet packaging to ensure that our service is truly confidential.

LetsGetChecked testing service is now available in 14 European countries, along with recent expansion into both Canada and US, enabling more people to gain greater access to diagnostic testing.

For LetsGetChecked, the customer's emotional, as well as physical, wellbeing is of utmost importance and the company has a unique aftercare protocol in place whereby members of the nursing support team provide confidential advice and referrals into the clinical setting for those in need of treatment. LetsGetChecked can also provide prescriptions for certain sexually transmitted infections.

The clinically-led service is supported by the Medical Director, Dr. Dominic Rowley - a Genitourinary Consultant – who provides oversight and clinical support for patients in need of care.  The clinical team includes specialised physicians and a team of nurses, who are always available to offer guidance, support, and treatment.

LetsGetChecked handles the entire testing process and delivers results within two to five working days of your samples reaching our CPA accredited laboratory.

Dr. Dominic Reilly, LetsGetChecked Medical Director, says: "These results demonstrate the need for more education on why people need to get tested. Without our service, I would be very worried if our patients would have sought out treatment, as our healthcare systems are overwhelmed and we really need to stress the importance on regular sexual health tests".
