Sexual Health

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

Both men and women need to look after their sexual health and take time to understand the issues that surround contraception and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

For instance there are some STIs, like chlamydia, that you could be carrying without having any symptoms. This infection can affect fertility, so it's important to make use of the sexual health services available for free on the NHS.

 

Sexual Health and Contraception Service

A free and confidential service providing sexual health screening and testing (including chlamydia screening and HIV testing) and advice on reversible contraception including emergency contraception (the ‘morning after pill’), health promotion and condom provision. Walk-in clinics and pre-booked appointments are available at 3 locations.

Please note, this service is not appropriate for requests for repeat prescriptions of the contraceptive pill, erectile dysfunction or cervical smear tests (except for HIV positive women and those with exceptional vulnerability).

Walk-in and pre-bookable appointments available.

Please note, this service is not appropriate for Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV, long-acting contraceptives such as the coil, long-term management of conditions such as HIV, liquid nitrogen treatment for warts, or cervical smear tests.
