My dad is elderly and in hospital. they have ran some blood tests and it appears he has syphilis which he has probably had for years. The hospital has recommended that his children should also have tests as it could have been passed to us by my mum (who is no longer with us). Don't want to go to GP as know nurses personally at the practice (close community) and not keen on an STI clinic. Does anyone know if private hospitals offer this service and whether I just call them up.
This is a big shock and am really worried for my own children. Can anyone offer any advice please.
