“#Controversial ‘virginity tests’ being offered by UK clinics<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Controversial \u201cvirginity tests,\u201d which involve intrusive and unscientific examinations, are being offered by medical clinics around Britain, according to an investigation.<\/p>\n

The test claims to determine if a woman\u2019s hymen is intact and is considered a violation of human rights by the World Health Organization and the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the BBC identified<\/a> several private clinics across the country that confirmed they offer the procedure \u2014 which doctors say provides no evidence as to whether a woman has had sex or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea the absence of part of the hymen means you\u2019re not a virgin is wrong first of all. It can be torn for various reasons, and if I was to say \u2018it is torn, I need to repair it\u2019 and then I can give you a certificate, that means I am giving a false certificate,\u201d Dr. Ashfaq Khan, a gynecologist, told the broadcaster, adding that he regularly gets requests from patients for virginity testing, as well as for \u201cvirginity repair.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a part of the investigation, the BBC contacted 16 medical centers across the country who advertised \u201cvirginity repair\u201d services and confirmed with seven of them that they also offer \u201cvirginity testing\u201d for between $200-$400. Several other clinics would not confirm with the outlet whether they provided the contentious procedure.<\/p>\n

However, all 16 confirmed they do perform hymen-repair surgery, with the price of the procedure ranging from about $2,000 to $4,000.<\/p>\n

According to data from the UK\u2019s National Health Service, 69 hymen-repair procedures have been carried out in the past five years, the BBC reports.<\/p>\n

Last year the rapp<\/a>er T.I. earned the ire of the internet and fans alike by revealing on the \u201cLadies Like Us\u201d podcast that he takes his daughter to \u201cyearly trip<\/a>s to the gynecologist to check her hymen,\u201d adding: \u201cI will say, as of her 18th birthday, her hymen is still intact.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
