GUM (Genito-Urinary Medicine) clinics, often
referred to as "Special", "VD" or "Clap"
clinics, specialise in the treatment of
STIs
(Sexually
Transmitted Infections). They are the best place to
go if you suspect that you've contracted a STI.
You
do not need to be referred to a GUM clinic by your
Doctor or even use your real name when you make an
appointment. You can also arrange an appointment
through the Men4Men SHOP where you can confidentially discuss any
concerns you have before going.
GUM
clinics are usually able to offer you a wide range
of FREE sexual health checks and treatments
including:
-
Detection and
treatment of
STIs
-
HIV antibody testing
-
Hepatitis B vaccinations
-
Medical monitoring
- Care
for HIV positive people
