IMPORTANT NOTICE
Restrictions to Public Sexual Health Services due to COVID-19 Responses
Due to the evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, there are significant restrictions to public sexual health services over the coming weeks.
This includes some closures or restrictions to HIV and STI testing and PrEP clinics.
Treatment clinics for HIV, STIs and Hepatitis are operating at some level and individual clinics will contact people who are currently receiving treatment and/or have appointments to inform you whether to attend your appointment or not, and when and how to get your medication.
Some STI testing clinics, while closed, may provide services in the case of emergencies. If you have symptoms, don’t ignore them. Contact your nearest clinic and leave a detailed message with your name and contact telephone number so that a staff member can call you back. You can also contact your GP who may provide STI testing services.
PEP is still available during these restrictions. If you have had a recent exposure to HIV, it is important to take urgent action. Contact your nearest Hospital Emergency Department where PEP is available or contact your local sexual health clinic.
Updates on services are outlined HERE and will be updated further as information becomes available.
