  • Excellent service that is provided to people who may not feel confident enought to go to a clinic and be tested or for people who are too afraid to go to a Clinic.

    ~ City & Hackney Visitor
  • This is a great service. More places in the UK need this to encourage young people to get tested!

    ~ Lambeth Visitor
  • Very grateful for this easy, cost-free service, especially as private sites are charging youngsters in excess of 30 pounds for a kit.
