Sexual Health & PrEP
Some of the doctors consulting from Taylor Square Private Clinic have been heavily involved in pioneering sexual healthcare in Sydney since the 80's. The doctors we support offer comprehensive sexual health consults to support you, including quick and discreet testing and screening options for common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), PrEP prescriptions, and sexual health check-ups.
Screening and Testing for common STI's such as:
-
Chlamydia: A bacterial infection transmitted through sexual contact.
-
Gonorrhea: A bacterial infection that can affect the genitals, rectum, and throat.
-
Syphilis: A bacterial infection that progresses in stages and can cause serious health complications if left untreated.
-
HIV: A virus that attacks the body's immune system and can lead to AIDS if untreated.
-
Hepatitis B and C: Viral infections that affect the liver and can be transmitted through sexual contact.
STI Treatment and Management:
-
Confidential treatment and management for individuals who test positive for STIs.
-
Personalized care plans to address specific infections and symptoms.
Regular Testing and Check-ups:
-
Regular STI screening every 3 months is recommended for sexually active individuals, especially those with multiple partners or engaging in unprotected sex. However, a full STI screening is recommended at a minimum of once per year.
-
You can discuss your sexual health history and concerns with our doctors to determine the appropriate testing required, frequency and schedule.
PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis):
-
PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) is a preventive medication used to reduce the risk of HIV infection in individuals who are at risk of acquiring the virus.
-
It involves taking a daily or on demand tablet, that contains antiretroviral drugs to help stop HIV replication, significantly lowering the likelihood of infection during sexual activity.
-
PrEP is recommended for those engaging in high-risk behaviors and is most effective when taken consistently.
-
We can provide Prescriptions for PrEP as well as counselling and education on HIV prevention strategies and ongoing monitoring to support HIV prevention efforts.
