STI Clinic
Sexual health is all about achieving a fulfilling sex life in a safe and responsible way. STI clinics (otherwise known as genito-urinary medicine clinics) enable this by offering testing for sexually transmitted infections contraceptives, condoms, pregnancy testing, vaccinations, sexual health promotion, safer sex education and support/counselling. Our services are confidential. We have three STI clinics:
