HIV & Sexual Health Services
Introduction
The Trust’s HIV and sexual health centres enjoy an excellent national and international reputation for high quality and innovative care, using the latest technology. They provide a wide range of confidential services at conveniently located sites, some of which also offer extended opening hours. There is no requirement for a GP referral or the need to live in the local catchment area for most of these services.
