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.

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!

The hormonal coil is one of the most effective, low-maintenance contraceptive options out there. It's long-lasting, reliable, and fuss-free 💛

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.

Spending quality time with yourself is essential. Spending it naked… optional, but hugely empowering 😍

Our bodies do so much for us, but society makes self-love tricky. Getting comfy in your own skin, while cooking, cleaning, or just chilling, can turn nakedness into self-pleasure, affection, and confidence.

The journey to loving your body might be a long one - so why not start with spending a little more quality time with it. All good relationships begin with a first date.⁠ 💖

What’s your favourite way to show your body some love?

Testicular cancer isn't common - but it is the most common cancer in young men. Fortunately, it's very treatable if found and treated early. And that's where checking your balls comes in.

Having a look and feel at least once a month means you can spot any changes and head to the GP to get them checked out. Get to know what's normal for your nuts.

Many STIs don’t show symptoms, so the only way to know you’re all clear is to get tested. Putting it off, procrastinating and thinking you'd rather not know can all make testing feel scarier than it actually is.

Testing with SH:24 is quick, simple, and confidential. Take control, get peace of mind, and stop letting “what ifs” hold you back.

In October, the NHS announced their plans to roll-out a new, long-lasting PrEP injection - making PrEP more accessible across England and Wales.

Having alternative ways of staying protected from HIV helps the UK achieve it's goal of no new HIV cases by 2030.

This is MAJOR - emergency contraception (also known as the morning after pill) is now available for free in pharmacies across England.

Almost 10,000 pharmacies across the country are providing emergency contraception pills for free, making it so much more accessible for many who need it.

The NHS have called this the "biggest change to s*xual health services since the 1960s".

A positive result can feel overwhelming - but you’re never alone. Our team is here with confidential advice, treatment, and support every step of the way.

Sexual health without shame. Always.
