I'm going to the GUM (Sexual Health) Clinic, Chelmsford and Essex Centre tomorrow to get my STI/STD/HIV/AIDS test and asked them on the phone about a certificate they said they will send a letter in the post? is this what I need or do I need to ask for a specific certificate?
Is there anywhere else in Essex that do them if it isn't the correct one?

We get ours through the post (tests done in in Clacton, Essex), we have to show photo ID when having a test to get a cert in letter format which states all the tests you mention above.

It costs us ?30 a letter/cert & takes about a week to come through, they usually text us a couple of days after the test so we know everything is alright.

thats coool, it cost me ?6 bus fare and I have to go back in two weeks to collect. Yes it'd be about ?20 by train to paddington then another ?20 when I go back in the two weeks so much cheaper to pay the ?30 to get it done locally

Post them back?
I had to show my ID when they took the blood and in two weeks when I collect them I have to show my ID again when I pick up my certificate.
