Regents Park Clinic: London Based Sexual Health Clinic

THE TESTING PROGRAMME

The testing programme is designed first and foremost to be accurate and highly sensitive. If you are carrying an infection, our tests are very unlikely to miss it. The programme has also been designed to be as simple, convenient and cost-effective for you as possible.

The principal is that before you start working in the Adult Entertainment Industry you should have an initial Full Adult Entertainer Screen including all the appropriate tests and then when you get any new job you will only need to have a limited up-date test (at any time within the 30 days before the job). There is no need to repeat the full set of tests each time, which saves you time and money.

FEES

The fee for the Initial Adult Entertainer Screen is £225. The fee for each up-date test is £125.

You must bring photographic evidence of identification to your test so that we can verify that you are who you say you and can issue the certificate correctly. This can be a passport or photographic driving licence.

This prevents the possibility of someone who has an infection using the certificate of someone else who is clear to obtain work and put fellow performers at risk.

INITIAL ADULT ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN

This is a comprehensive check and includes checks for:

HIV antibody test
Syphilis (Early and Late Syphilis)
Gonorrhoea (DNA test)
Chlamydia (DNA Test)
Hepatitis B Immunity *
Genital warts (visual inspection)
Genital Herpes* *

PLUS (Women only)

Bacterial Vaginosis

You can read about these infections in Sexual infections.

The fee for the Initial Adult Entertainer Screen is £225.

If you are engaging in penetrative oral and/or anal sex, we recommend that you have oral and/or anal swabs taken for analysis. There is an addition charge for each of these.

*We recommend that if the screen shows you do not have immunity to Hepatitis B, you should be vaccinated against it.

**A test for Genital Herpes will only be done if the doctor’s visual inspection reveals possible signs of infection. This attracts an additional charge.

SUBSEQUENT 30-DAY UP-DATE TESTS

WHAT IF YOU TEST POSITIVE?
