This involves a longer consultation than the routine STI screen, which is also carried out if indicated.
This consultation is generally for those patients who have an ongoing chronic genito-urinary medicine issue eg, vulvodynia, vulval/penile skin conditions, recurrent candidiasis, erectile dysfunction.
Often these patients require follow up consultations as their problems are of a more complex nature.
This generally consists of a combination of treatments often tailored to the individual's treatment response. The consultants at Himerus Health STI clinic are experts with a particular interest in this area.
PEP is “the morning after pill” for HIV. PEP reduces the chance of becoming infected with HIV post a potential HIV exposure. PEP treatment involves taking a combination of antiretroviral drugs for 28 days. They can only be initiated within 72hours of an exposure. Exposures may be via sexual exposure, a needlestick injury or splash form a potential source. If the exposure occurs outside of clinic hours you should present to your nearest emergency department or GUM clinic for treatment as soon as possible.
