The information you provide can be sensitive, your personal information is kept private and confidential.

Your name is not on any results, codes are used so that only Clinic 34 staff can connect your name to your results.

The answers to any questions are confidential and you can skip any you don't want to answer.

Let the clinic know if you prefer to talk to someone with the same or different gender.

Questions you may be asked

When you first attend a clinic you will be asked some questions to help the clinicians with your care.

These questions will be about your:

• general health

How the tests are done

Where possible, the tests can be done on your own in a private bathroom. You will be given instructions on how to take the samples.

Clinic 34 may use any of the following for testing:

• blood
• urine (pee)

If you need an examination, this will be discussed with you.

Test results

Some results will be available on the day, others within one to 2 weeks.
