Once diagnosed with HIV many patients may choose to see their consultant privately. At Himerus Health our HIV experts, Professor Fiona Mulchay, Dr Aisling Loy and Dr Dominic Rowley can offer this service in comfortable and discreet surrounds.
Himerus Health is located in a multipurpose health care centre which provides many health care services from dental care, radiology, physiotherapy, and GP services, therefore it is not obvious what you are attending for.
Your consultation, medication, vaccinations, bloods and general health can be provided at Himerus Health.
This is carried out by an experienced sexual health practitioner. This option includes a sexual history, a medical examination and STI testing. Routine screening tests for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Hepatitis B, Syphilis, a wart examination and HSV detection if indicated. Trichomonas, Bacterial Vaginosis, Candidiasis testing if indicated in females. If you wish to have a rapid HIV test, with the result in 15mins ask to have this added on.
Men should hold their urine for at least 1 hour prior to testing to improve accuracy of results. Women may also wish to avail of their free cervical check smear if it is due (www.cervicalcheck.ie). All patients will have their blood tested for blood borne viruses and may also opt for on the spot rapid HIV testing. Results will be texted or emailed within the 3-5 days. Positive results will be phoned and treatment offered.
This service will suit patients who are asymptomatic i.e. no unusual discharges, pains, lumps, bumps or lesions that would need to be examined or directly tested. It is more a “peace of mind” test.
With express STI testing no medical history or examination will take place. Patients will register, then have their blood taken by the doctor before being given swabs and/or a urine sample container. Men should hold their urine for one hour prior to giving a sample to increase the accuracy of testing. Express STI tests for Chlamydia/Gonorrhoea, HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis.
