Sexual Health Clinic

Aviemore Medical Practice runs a sexual health clinic every Tuesday from 4.30 – 6.00pm for residents of the Badenoch and Strathspey area only.

Please call 01479 810258 to book an appointment.

What we offer:

• STI screening
• Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PreP): blood testing once seen and assessed by Highland Sexual health clinic
• Emergency contraception: however we would usually recommend you call the practice to speak to the triage team to avoid any delay. We can offer the copper IUD as emergency contraception depending on clinican availability.

We don’t offer:

• routine contraception; please book a routine GP appointment at your own registered practice for this.
• Supply PreP or undertake the initial consultation for this.
• Coil or nexplanon insertion within this Tuesday afternoon clinic; these are arranged in a separate clinic at the practice for which you will need a GP appt to discuss first.
• Chronic conditions that would best be delivered with continuity of a GP.
• Termination of pregnancy referrals

If your enquiry is more urgent and cannot wait until Tuesday, please contact your GP Practice or Highland Sexual Health clinic via T: 01463 888300 or via their website here. 

Are you under 25 years? Highland Sexual Health clinic have a live chat service every weekday afternoon 4 to 6pm: please see https://highlandsexualhealth.co.uk/
