What we do

We offer screening for all sexually transmitted infections including HIV and Hepatitis B and we provide a walk-in clinic for sexual health screening

We can also offer advice and information on sexually transmitted infections and associated problems.

If you need treatment we can usually provide this on site and it is free of charge.
