I have been using SHL.UK for many years…

I have been using SHL.UK for many years now and I have always been happy with there service. It has been convenient for me to test at home and keep a check on my health instead of going to a clinic all the time. Test results are always accurate and given within a good number of days before receiving. If issues arise you tend to be contacted by them through text or phone call. The website is easy to use and navigate

As someone who was living a very busy sexual lifestyle this has been a great service to have, it has allowed to make sure I was safe and also safe for others.

Iincredible service

This is an incredible service and that it’s free is almost miraculous: quick, discreet, easy to use so nobody misses out, and with sms, calls and emails following up on anything that may need discussing. I use them regularly and am blown away. They perform great service to London and especially to the LGBTQ+ community and to sex workers. Keep going SHL team! And thank you.

World class sexual health services

SHL is an incomparably excellent service. High level of communication, clear information and real trust and security around my sexual health. I can’t recommend their services enough. It’s a model of what world class health services should be.

Long Time

Even though we appreciate the online service... you have symptoms and ordering online it takes time for the ticket to arrive also way long time for the results to come back... meanwhile your symptoms gets worse while waiting this long time. Then you have to wait 2 days for a booking slot. Last time ive done and still needed a treatment it took all together 9 days from the order online till I get an appointment to be treated. Online service supposed to help those that cannot take a day off from work to go to a walk in centre.

They flag bad reviews btw!!!!!

They refused to let me have a test of cure before 5 weeks without taking into consideration why I might need it for personal, emotional, mental, and or psychological reasons which are all valid! We all know they're just being cheap as a greedy private company outsourced by the NHS. I hope they lose their contract and go out of business ASAP. They've just left me crying at 9 in the morning after completely ignoring what I have to say and failing to help me. Terrible terrible terrible and INFLEXIBLE organisation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT A QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICE PROVIDER

Reply from SHL.UK

We’re sorry to hear how upset you’ve been feeling. As discussed during your consultation with our Health Advisers, and outlined in the written information we sent you, we recommend retesting no sooner than six weeks. Testing earlier can detect residual or non-viable DNA, which can lead to false positives and unnecessary worry. This approach is based on clinical best practice, not cost considerations. We’re happy to arrange a call if you’d like to talk this through again. We do kindly ask that communication remains respectful — abusive language towards NHS staff is not acceptable, and we want all conversations to be safe and constructive for everyone.

So convenient

Brilliant service, I really struggle to fit clinic appointments in around work so having such a reliable and efficient home testing service is so useful. Results are super quick and the staff are always helpful and friendly whenever I need to follow up. Highly recommend!

I have done this before and it was smooth , I did a test and got my results back and have been waiting for treatment for days now , I keep getting in contact and all there telling me is it’s delayed and my treatment is lost ??????
I’ve asked for a new one because it needs to be treated and they are telling me I have to call my gp and go through there , my gp is very rubbish and I am 17 years old , I did this bc it’s discrete and I can do it in my own , I go away inna few days and don’t have the time to go to a clinic or my gp , absolute disaster!!! useless wouldn’t do this again

Great confidential service

Great confidential service making it easy for everyone to look after their sexual health. Have used it for many years: the staff there are extremely helpful and the tests undertaken very quickly.
