SH:24

We talk sexual and reproductive health 24/7, embracing body positivity; relationship, wellbeing and mental health; all genders and sexualities. What is SH:24?

We offer free STI testing, advice & support in partnership with the NHS: discreet, quick & confidential. SH:24 is a new way of accessing NHS sexual health services. Who is the service for? Like traditional NHS sexual health clinics, SH:24 is for everyone. But we really hope it will provide access to people most at risk and in need - particularly if you don’t currently use NHS clinics. Over the next four years we will be further developing the service to include:

Sexual health advice
Emergency hormonal contraception
General contraception
Pregnancy tests
Information on treatment options

A bit more about us
SH:24 is funded by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity during its four year development phase. We work in partnership with Lambeth and Southwark Public Health Directorate and two local NHS Foundation trusts. We are also available in Essex, Medway, Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Medway working in partnership with Provide and a team of other health providers and third sector organisations. How are we designing SH:24? We are using a design-led approach which involves lots of user testing. We are building and testing the service in a number of phases. We will only move to the next phase when we have learned from your feedback, adding more features as we go. Phase one launched in March 2015 allowing people to:

Order an STI test kit online
Return a sample
Receive your results.

S*x should feel good emotionally as well as physically.
Your boundaries matter. Your pleasure matters. Your voice matters. 💛

We're going back to basics this week with STIs 101 - how do you get STIs and what should you do about them?

Got any questions? Ask us anything, our team of clinicians are happy to help.

Heard of doxyPEP? It's a new way to reduce your chance of certain STIs, like chlamydia and syphilis.

It's an antibiotic - doxycycline - that you can take up to 72 hours after s*x. It does not give 100% protection from STIs, so tests and condoms are still important. But it can reduce your risk.

At the moment it's recommended for preventing syphilis. Talk to your s*xual health clinic to find out more.

Our clinicians are here to help!

We don't just send you a test kit. We give you the expert support and discreet care you need. You can text and chat to our brilliant clinical team with any questions you have or support you need.

Build a 's*xual blueprint' with your partners - talking about your turns ons and turn offs can be tricky, but getting on the same page will increase your intimacy and your pleasure.

Don't feel like you have to get it right first time, or cover all your kinks in one chat. Learning how to communicate about s*x is a journey that you and your partner can take together.

14/01/2026

It's STIQ Day - a day for spreading awareness of s*xual health, answering questions and promoting safer s*x practices.

Knowledge really is power. Knowing when to test, how to protect yourself, and where to get support helps you look after yourself and your partners. That’s where we come in.

At SH:24 we're here 24/7 with trusted info, free testing, discreet results and expert support.

Clear communication builds trust, confidence and way better chemistry. It means everyone feels safe, respected and actually able to enjoy themselves.

Talk about:
What you’re into.
What you’re not into.
What’s a “maybe,” a “not today,” or a “hard no.”

Conversation is how good s*x happens 💬✨

In the run up to Christmas, don't forget your s*xual health!
The festive season can be heavy on sugary treats, heavy meals, alcohol and late nights. Or you may be staying away from home which means you’re away from your normal routine, or using someone else’s toiletries… All of these factors can have an impact on your s*xual health - here's what to think about now to avoid s*xual health woes over the holidays.

11/12/2025

Our team will be taking some time off over the holidays, so while our online service will be open 24/7 there might be delays with the post, prescribing or replying to your messages.

Like us, most s*xual health clinics will be open except on the bank holidays. Opening hours might change so check online.
Let's stay safe and s*xy over the festive season!

We’re so glad we could bring this person peace of mind - and we’re here to do the same for you. Getting clear answers quickly can make all the difference. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All men can make a real difference to help end violence against women and girls.

Calling out s*xist jokes, disrespectful comments or harmful behaviour might feel uncomfortable, but it sends a powerful message about what you stand for. Small actions change the culture and small moments add up to safer spaces for everyone.

This White Ribbon Day, we’re asking men to speak up - with their friends, in group chats, at work, on nights out - to challenge attitudes that harm women and girls.
