Fund broader STI testing to include microbiome testing on the NHS

Petition Details

Fund free access to vaginal and penile microbiome testing on the NHS, and expand infection screening beyond standard STI panels for individuals reporting persistent symptoms or recurrent issues.

Additional Information

We believe many people suffer from undiagnosed or misdiagnosed infections due to limited testing. Microbiome imbalances and lesser-known infections can deeply impact health, fertility, and mental wellbeing. We believe early, accurate diagnosis would reduce long-term NHS costs and suffering.
