About SHL.UK

Sexual Health London (SHL.UK) is London’s sexual health e-service that provides free and easy access to sexual health testing via the internet and local venues.

The service is available to people aged 16 and over who are residents in most Boroughs of London.

The following boroughs have chosen not to participate in SHL.UK: Hillingdon, Croydon and Greenwich.

The service provides testing for a range of sexually transmitted infections including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and hepatitis C via samples you can collect at home.
