Sexual health
Due to Coronavirus, if you need any sexual health or contraception service please avoid attending the venue without a booked appointment. Telephone your GP practice or WiSe Wiltshire Sexual health first to discuss your needs over the phone. If you do need to attend the venue for your booked appointment you will need to wear a face covering. Do not attend your booked appointment if you or anyone in your household have an Coronavirus symptoms.
Sexual health services include access to contraception, testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), support and information about safer sexual relationships.
Many sexually transmitted infections are treated easily with antibiotics prescribed by a medical professional. As with any infection, the earlier you're tested the sooner treatment can be given if it's needed. However, there are several infections such as HIV where there is no current cure, there are effective treatments available that enable most people with the virus to live a long and healthy life. It is therefore very important that these infections are diagnosed as early as possible to start effective treatment.
Poor sexual health can impact on your physical and emotional health.
If you are worried about symptoms or would just like information contact your GP practice, a local pharmacist or WiSe Wiltshire Sexual Health on 01722 425120

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Screening
The Chlamydia Screening program targets young people 15 - 24 years old who are sexually active. Young people are encouraged to screen for this infection as it often has no symptoms but has the potential to cause long term health difficulties.
Testing is easy and straightforward with self testing kits available to order on-line via Home Screening (where further information can also be found). Kits are also available in a variety of venues including your GP practice, pharmacies, youth services and education settings.
You can order a free home screening kit if you are 16 years old of over and you live in Wiltshire. The service is available to people without any symptoms, it's a reliable and convenient way of testing without having to attend a clinic. The home screening kits test for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV and Syphilis. You may also be tested for Hepatitis B if you are high risk from your answers to the questions you complete when requesting your home screening kit.
To order a home screening kit visit Wiltshire Sexual Health: Home Screening kits.
If you live in Wiltshire and are having difficulties in ordering your kit please call 01722 425120
