We offer information, health screening, treatment and counselling – all confidential and free.

We offer confidential advice and support, STI screening, HIV and Syphilis testing and advice, Hep C Support and testing, Free condoms and drug and alcohol harm reduction advice and support through our outreach team and needle exchange hub at Dickson Road.
