Sexual Health Care in Werribee

Sexual health is a normal part of health, but it is often the thing people find hardest to bring up. Our GPs see sexual health concerns every day. Whatever you need to discuss, you’ll be treated with respect, and your information stays private.

Many sexually transmissible infections, including chlamydia and gonorrhoea, cause no symptoms at all. Regular testing is the only reliable way to know your status. A check is recommended at least once a year if you’re sexually active and under 30, and whenever you have a new partner.

Sexual Health Services

• STI testing, often a simple urine test, swab or blood test

• Treatment and follow-up testing where needed

• Advice on telling partners, with support to do it anonymously if you prefer

• Contraception advice, including emergency contraception

• Discussion of HIV prevention options

• Assessment of symptoms such as discharge, pain, sores or itching

• Hepatitis B and HPV vaccination

Samples can usually be collected on site by 4Cyte Pathology. When results come back, your GP will contact you or ask you to book a follow-up. Results are never left in a message for someone else to hear.

Respectful Care for Everyone

Our GPs care for people of all ages, genders and sexualities. If you would feel more comfortable with a male or female doctor, mention it when booking. Clinician backgrounds and languages spoken are listed under our team.
