The Terrence Higgins Trust Mortimer Market Centre has opened a new clinic to provide a sexual health testing & treatment service for young people under 25. The clinic is based at Terrence Higgins Trust, 314 Gray's Inn Rd, London.
The service is open on Tuesdays from 9.30 till 4pm and up to 18 young people per week will be able to access the full range of sexual health and contraceptive services including:
Information and advice on sexual health
Screening and treatment for STIs
HIV testing
Support, information and onward referral following sexual assault
Discussion about difficulties with sex
Discussions about safer sex issues
Free condoms
Contraceptive services and advice
The service will be walk-in with no appointments and there will be slots for 10 males and slots for 8 females per day.
Kelvin Julian THT's Sexual Health outreach coordinator for young people in Camden will also be holding Sex and Relationship Education sessions which will run parallel to the clinic appointments. The 30 minute sessions will be on a one to one basis and focused on contraception and sexual health.Content of the sessions will include condom demonstrations, contraception and emergency contraception advice, information on sexually transmitted infections and HIV transmission.
Adam Wilkinson, London Operations Manager for Terrence Higgins Trust said:
"It's really important that young people have somewhere to go to get advice on sexual health and STI testing that is outside a hospital or clinic setting. You don't need an appointment, which means it's a much more friendly service which is designed to work for them."
"So far the response has been good but we'd really like more young people in the area to drop in and use the service."
"Even though young people now know more about sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia than they did a few years ago, there hasn't been the same increase in the number of young people testing.
