| Re: had unprotected sex, needs help
I don't know about costs in the UK, but you can see any family doctor or go to a health clinic, which may be free.
Unless you start feeling symptoms, there is no hurry, though if you want to have sex with someone other than your current GF, you would be at risk of transmitting something. I would chill and not do anything right away, though using condoms in the meantime would be a great idea. If you are really worried, wait a week or two to get tested, though you will have to wait 6 months or so for an HIV test to be valid.
To test for HIV, herpes and the bacterial infections, they have to draw blood and probably take a swab inside your penis. Not fun, I hear. If you present with sympoms, they might simply give you antibiotics (much cheaper), which is why I recommend waiting to see if you have symptoms. If your GF would get checked, then if she is clean, you should be clean.
