We provide a full range of sexual health services at our centres, free of charge, including:
- Testing and treatment for all sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV
- Free contraception
- Pregnancy testing
Some test results are available while you’re still in the clinic; others are sent to our lab and we will text you with the results to you after five working days.
Our teams are professional, friendly and discreet, and offer a service that’s personalised for you. We care about our clients, and the majority of people we see come back for regular check-ups. All our services are free and confidential.
