What is hiv testing & counselling?

HIV is a virus that affects the immune system. With modern testing and treatment it is now a manageable chronic condition, and early diagnosis makes an enormous difference to long-term health.

This clinic provides confidential HIV testing and counselling as part of comprehensive STI care. Testing is discreet, results are explained clearly, and onward care is arranged where needed.

Causes

  • Unprotected sexual contact
  • A partner living with HIV
  • Other sexually transmitted infections present
  • Sharing needles (a non-sexual route)

Symptoms

  • Often no symptoms for a long time
  • Flu-like illness weeks after infection in some
  • Persistent symptoms only in later, untreated infection
  • The only reliable way to know is testing

Self-check: should you get this looked at?

  • You have had unprotected sex or a new partner
  • A partner is living with HIV
  • You have another diagnosed STI
  • You want reassurance after a possible exposure
  • You have never been tested

If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.
