Vaccines for Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection. Research shows that the Meningitis B vaccine can reduce your risk of getting gonorrhoea by up to 40%. The vaccine is available for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) who are at the highest risk of gonorrhoea: that means men who have had a bacterial STI in the last year, or who have had at least 5 partners in the last 3 months. Other people at similar risk may also be offered the vaccine.
The vaccine is available to people attending our clinic sites, but we do not currently have specific vaccine appointments.
You can find out more about the vaccine: MenB: A gonorrhoea vaccine — QueerHealth
You can read more about the UK recommendations: UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization
POSTNATAL CONTRACEPTION

PrEP (HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) Online Appointments
PrEP (HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) Online Appointments
We have ‘PrEP only’ appointments that can be booked via our website for those wanting HIV PrEP. These appointments are for more PrEP only for those that are already taking it. We cannot treat infections or give vaccinations in these appointments.
Please do your tests for sexually transmitted infections including HIV at home via shl.uk before your appointment as that will make your PREP appointment in clinic quicker. These tests need to have been done in the last 4 weeks. Please bring your results to show at your appointment.
If you are not already on PrEP but would like to start, then please click on ‘Book online’, click on symptoms assessment and then ‘Need PREP’ or call for an appointment or come to our walk in clinic at the Clifden Centre.
If you would like more information about HIV PrEP then click on the ‘HIV prevention (including PrEP)’ box further down this page.
How to get your results has changed
New Guidelines for Mirena Coil
New Important Guidelines for Mirena Coil
Please note according to the new guidelines from FSRH, Mirena coil is now licensed for 8 years for contraception (and still 5 years for endometrial protection as part of HRT)
STI testing and contraception at home
Our partners at Sexual Health London provide STI testing and some contraception online
This is perfect for you if:
- You have not noticed anything wrong but want a sexual health check-up
- Someone you had sex with over two weeks ago has told you that they have tested positive for chlamydia or gonorrhoea
- You have noticed mild symptoms such as vaginal discharge or pain when you pee, and want to check if you have an STI
- You live in London and need a repeat supply of your contraceptive pill/patch/ring
- You are on PrEP and need to do your three monthly STI testing
