Feet on the edge. Fantastic. 
 Legs nice and relaxed.
I'm just going to move the skin
to see if everything 
 looks all right.
I think you've got a bit of thrush 
 going on down here.
Just going to feel on your groin to 
 see if you've got any swelling.
Is that ticklish? Yes. Sorry!
When you take it out, I always say 
 you want it to look like a Santa hat
or a sombrero. If you see it that 
 way, it's more like a Smurf hat.
Oh, God. No disasters, 
 but there's always a drama.
Barnaby? I'm Joel, 
 I'm one of the doctors.
Nice to meet you.
I understand the reason 
 you're here today
is because of some sex 
 over the weekend. Yeah, on Sunday.
Is that the first time 
 you'd had sex with them?
Yeah. Did you use any drugs at all?
Yeah. What drugs do you use?
OK.
OK.
You lose a lot of your inhibitions 
 when you're having chemsex.
And you'll do things that 
 you really wouldn't do sober.
When I get high enough, 
 you can sleep with, like,
six or seven people in one night, 
 in rotation.
I think I've had four injections 
 for gonorrhoea.
Maybe chlamydia three times.
Having lost my virginity at 18, 
 in four years, that's not so bad.
Hopefully.
Now, this is telling us 
 your HIV status six weeks ago,
so it's not telling us anything 
 about yesterday,
also not telling us anything about 
 any other sex in the last six weeks.
CREW MEMBER: How do you feel about 
 doing this test?
Absolutely fine, I've done it 
 quite a few times.
And you were bottom without condoms,
 is that right?
Yeah. I feel very embarrassed, 
 for some reason,
asking somebody to put a condom on.
So I think I've just got into 
 the habit of not using one.
Some people are more vulnerable to 
 getting infections,
because they're more vulnerable 
 as people.
And it's harder for them to 
 negotiate the kind of sex they want
and it's harder for them 
 to insist on using condoms.
OK, I can see, Barney, 
 there's just one dot there,
which means it's a negative test.
It's what they use to freeze 
 the warts.
Sorry. That's OK!
Ooft!
Sexual infections are kind of like 
 Russian roulette -
you can be lucky and have sex 
 with loads of people
and not get anything,
or you can have sex with one person 
 and catch something.
Charles? Hi, good morning, 
 how are you?
All right, so, you're here for 
 some condoms and an STI screening?
Yeah. That's all it is.
I was with a long-time girlfriend 
 for a long time.
And once that kind of ended, 
 you know,
I just went all out. Not really 
 thinking about the consequences.
CREW MEMBER: What are we talking?
It's not triple figures yet, 
 but it's not far off.
And, obviously, with all 
 the online stuff, Tinder,
it's so easy and accessible to 
 meet people.
Sex is pretty available 
 if you want it.
And that is the worry, as well, 
 the people you're meeting,
you don't really know them 
 that well.
And I'm not even asking 
 whether not they're on the pill
or what their contraception is, 
 it's just kind of happening.
And regretting it after, to be fair.
There's a lot of times after 
 I've just regretted it completely.
But I seem to keep going back to it.
Let me write the number down 
 so I can register you online.
Are you worried?
Yeah. You are worried. 
 I'm worried, yeah.
I've been putting it off 
 for a long time.
I like to think 
 I've got away with it so far.
But this week is going to be 
 nervous for me.
I can't wait to call them up 
 and get the results, yeah.
I've been with my partner 
 for about four, five months now.
And we both decided we don't want to
 use condoms anymore.
And so...I've been having 
 some discharge.
We ask everyone, did you had sex 
 with anybody else?
No! It can't be me, 
 I haven't done nothing!
I mean, no, yeah, it can't be me.
I think he's gone and messed around,
 and he's come back to me,
and I've been given something...
Ugh!
It sucks, it really sucks.
So, this is for the chlamydia 
 and gonorrhoea swab.
Just pop this inside your vagina 
 and rotate it.
Inside, OK? I'll close 
 the curtain for you.
Things like chlamydia, 
 Trichomoniasis, gonorrhoea -
it's treatable, but when you have 
 a positive result,
it can have a really big impact 
 on that relationship.
It could potentially break 
 a relationship.
Sharp scratch.
He's probably walking out right now,
 thinking he's a free man,
no-one knows nothing.
While I'm sitting here 
 getting myself checked out.
That's the reality of it, 
 do you know what I mean?
But someone's misbehaved.
So someone's going to get 
 kicked to the curb.
Yeah, look, the results are back, 
 it's not great.
She's got a box in her hands.
I know what that means.
It's thrush.
So you have some candida, OK?
Thrush?! Yeah.
No way! You'll be pleased to know.
Thrush?! Oh, yeah, I'm very pleased 
 to know that.
It's not sexually transmitted.
He's cool, he's all right.
It's thrush.
Due to...tight panties, probably.
Got to get some new ones.
Patient number 68.
There's a lot of patients that will 
 come in and recognise me
and be like, "Hi, 
 you had me last time."
But when you do see a regular,
you're thinking, "Oh, my God."
You start checking, 
 "When did I see him,"
or, "When did I see her?"
Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. 
 And you?
I finally managed to get in contact 
 with him this afternoon,
and, erm...
he was saying 
 that he was HIV-positive,
and then that it was 50% my fault,
because I didn't say to 
 use a condom.
I can see where with the shame that 
 comes with it, why he may not say.
I mean, he should have, but I should
 have used a condom as well, so.
Going to get those results by phone,
and they should be ready on Friday.
People can come with
all sorts of problems 
 to the sexual health clinic.
Sometimes it's not related to 
 a sexually transmitted infection.
I've got a young woman 
 in the consultation room,
she thinks she might be pregnant, 
 but it doesn't sound great,
she's in some pain.
I went over to A&E 
 and they told me to come over here.
My doctor hasn't got an appointment 
 for another two weeks,
and I just wondered if there is 
 anything you could do for me
to help me? 
 Because I am in so much pain.
OK. I got pregnant 
 when I was 17, miscarried.
It kind of feels like the last time.
I can feel it specifically 
 on one side my tummy as well,
and I had to leave work today
because I was just doubled over 
 in pain, it was just ridiculous.
Yeah. I've been with my partner 
 for about a year and a half.
I do try to come in round about 
 every six months anyway.
And when did you last have sex?
Erm...
Maybe last week, Thursday?
OK. And was that with your partner?
Yeah. And was that with condom 
 or without condoms?
Without condoms, 
 but I've been taking my pill,
so I was like, wahey!
And then, going back from him,
when was the last time you had sex 
 with someone other than him?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
When I was, like, 17? OK.
WHISPERING: Is she? Is she pregnant?
 Yeah.
So, the thing we're worried about 
 is pregnancy outside of the womb.
So I'm going to go and explain that 
 to her. Poor girl.
So, we've just done the pregnancy 
 test... Go on.
..and it's positive.
If it's OK with you, 
 I'm going to get that scan.
Absolutely. So, your appointment 
 is booked for tomorrow at 4pm.
Mmm-hmm. Any questions?
No, I'm done. I'm going home to 
 probably cry.
I'm upset about the fact 
 that I'm in so much pain,
and I know I'm probably 
 going to miscarry again.
Whoa! Shit!
Ugh.
I'm about to have a fag.
Judge me at your will.
I'm not bothered right now.
Hi, Mum.
I'm pregnant.
I'm pregnant.
I don't know, I've got an 
 appointment tomorrow, scan.
Because there's chance I 
 could miscarry again.
Erm, I'm kind of afraid at 
 the moment.
Don't really...
Yeah.
As long as you're there, that's all 
 I need.
Love you too, Mum, bye.
Patient number 73.
PHONE DIALS
Hello? Hello. Hi, is that Selina?
Hi, speaking.
Oh, hi, it's Joe calling from 
 Homerton Hospital.
Are you able to talk at the moment?
I am. OK. The test for 
 trichomonas or TV, was positive.
So we need you to come back into the
 clinic and get treatment for that.
No! OK.
This is fucking bullshit.
It's frustrating, I know.
It didn't show up on the test you 
 had done on Thursday,
possibly because you had thrush 
 at the time.
Yeah. It might have got in the way 
 and just stopped us
from being able to see 
 the trichomonas.
So we need to give you 
 some treatment,
and also to give your partner some 
 treatment as well.
Yeah.
Ugh! I'm so pissed off.
This is hard, you know, because...
This is actually hard, like.
This is fucking hard, because 
 fucking hell, like...
You can't trust many people, and 
 then you trust someone 
 and they break it.
I can't never go back with him.
And I really liked him.
I've had a sleepless night, still in
 a lot of pain,
but I'm pretty much just worried 
 about the baby at this point.
Oh, there's going to be cold and 
 jelly, ain't it? Yeah, cold jelly.
I've done this before.
I've got me mum with me this time, 
 so, makes everything so much better.
There's the beginnings of the 
 pregnancy in there,
called a yolk sac.
But it's too early to see a baby 
 with a heartbeat, all right?
So you are going to need another 
 scan in a couple of weeks' time.
But we know it's in the right place,
 that's the main thing, OK?
That's what we expect to see at five
 weeks and two days.
Are you happy with this 
 pregnancy, or...?
I've got no idea. No idea.
So you're going to think about what 
 you want to do.
Just time to digest it all.
Once you have a kid, your whole 
 life is...
Not down the drain, but your whole 
 life is for them,
you know what I mean?
Just the thought of a baby, someone 
 that's dependent on me.
I mean, I'm just learning how to be 
 independent myself.
Please don't, because I'll 
 start crying!
Bowel pain, because Danielle's had 
 diarrhoea and upset stomach over the
last four weeks. It's more likely to
 be bowel spasms.
Eat little and often, lots 
 of fluids,
and it will settle 
 itself down.
Five weeks and two days.
I'm not upset.
I'm a responsible adult.
Sort of girlfriend I liked the most,
 I ended it,
because I wanted to have sex with 
 other people.
And since I've ended it, slept with 
 other people, I've regretted it.
So, for me, getting tested is a time
 for me to move on and, yeah,
refresh and settle down 
 properly sometime.
Do you want her back?
Yeah, I do, yeah.
I do want her back, yeah.
Couldn't really sleep last night, 
 to be fair.
If it is clear, I'll be very lucky. 
 Very lucky.
RINGING TONE
So, my ID number is 107629.
That's great. Thank you 
 for your help.
Bye.
I'm really pleased with that.
I can't hide it. 
 I can't hide it.
It's really, really pleasing 
 to hear. Wow.
Yes. I can't believe it!
I can't believe it.
I know people who've gone on holiday
 for a week and had one one-night
stand, they've got chlamydia 
 or something.
Why have I got so lucky?
Reaching a point where you're really
 worried about having an infection,
can sometimes be a bit of a 
 reality check.
But, for some people,
it doesn't make as much of 
 an impression
on how important it is for them
to change the type of sex 
 they're having,
or their behaviour in the future.
You look happy. Hmm? You look happy.
 Yeah, it's a relief.
Just effort, scheduling and working 
 around STIs.
Nobody really wants to do it.
So it's more the inconvenience to 
 life than anything else
at the moment? Yeah, that's 
 literally it.
I don't want to alarm you,
but I don't think I would have been 
 that upset at all.
It, like, it's...
I guess I've been in a lot of 
 situations where the risk of HIV
is quite big. And that feeling of,
for a month and not knowing whether 
 you have it on whether you don't,
it's a very hollow feeling.
I hope that it's only a 
 matter of time
before I start being more 
 practical about using protection.
Because I think it's just a matter 
 of having the confidence to ask
somebody to put a condom on.
But it's not really something that 
 you bear in mind
when you're having chemsex.
