I know pipeworks does a clinic on a Wednesday.

Do you need an appointment or can you just walk in?

Just walk in from 1pm, best to phone and check that it's still going ahead as sometimes they cancel on the day

Walk in and they give you the testing kit at reception when you arrive. When they’re ready for you, they’ll shout your number over the Tannoy for you to go to the bar with your testing kit. It can be easy to miss that call (I did) so listen carefully!

In terms of results, I had a reference number from previous testing at Sandyford and before that the GLC. You then phone a number about 10 days later to key in your reference number to get automated results. I had assumed any newbies would also be allocated a "customer number" to punch in to the auto response thing.

I also got an email because one of my samples wasn't good enough for testing (I didn't manage enough pee, to save you wondering)

Being given the test kit at Reception is a change from when I went. Also, they told me the expected waiting time so I went wandering and was back at the bar 20 mins before they said I might be called. In the event, I waited half hour, slurping tea, to be shouted. The tea didn't help, see above. But the nurse gave me the kits. Maybe this is a change to get more people through.

It is also worth noting that when I went, you didn't HAVE to pay an entrance fee for Pipeworks either. You could go for testing only and wait in the bar for your slot. That, too, may have changed.

Plotting to go Friday afternoon. If I go, I'll ask Reception what is what and post an addendum if necessary.

The "Events" page for the testing says:

Sandyford go to Pipeworks most Wednesdays. I was at Pipeworks yesterday. There were guys who just come off the street, because they were dressed and waiting at the bar.

A recorded message comes over the speaker to inform you that the clinic has spaces available and to go to the bar for further instructions. Every Wednesday I've been, there's always been spaces available.

The testing is done in the non-porn TV room upstairs and both entrances are sealed off for privacy.

It can take 7 to 10 working days at sandyford for results, I’m sure it’s the same.

It's every Wednesday from 1:30 until 3:30 & free. Reception give you a kit for swabs & urine. Once you've done those, wait in the bar & you get called for the blood test. I only waited 5 or 10 mins. Phone for results after about a week. I was there yesterday.
