Rejected petition Fund free STI Testing for all in the UK

1 in 12 young people are infected with an STI and don’t know it because they do not have symptoms.

More details

If regular STI testing was available discreetly to be delivered once again and we didn’t have to pay more than £20 for a kit then less people would have them because less people would spread them unknowingly.

STIs can be life changing. Protect yourself and others

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is already available through the NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sexual-health/visiting-an-sti-clinic/

If what you want is for the Government to provide funding to make STI test kits available to order through the post we could accept a petition calling for this in England, but healthcare is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
