Monkeypox Vaccination now available!

In light of the evolving epidemic in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is recommending pre-exposure vaccination for high-risk individuals - namely GBMSM who are on PrEP, use 'sex on premises' venues or have been diagnosed with an STI in the past twelve months (ie syphilis, gonorrhoea or chlamydia).

Supplies of the monkeypox vaccine in the UK remain limited, however we now have a stock of vaccines available at our service. 
Please contact My-Sexual-Health if you fit the UKSHA criteria.

New COVID-19 advice for patients living with HIV who have additional health risks

The NHS has recently reviewed their advice for individuals with certain health conditions should they contract COVID and be symptomatic, but not require hospitalisation, as there are some treatment options now available for certain groups in the community. 

Medications called neutralising monoclonal antibodies (nMABs) are now recommended as a treatment option for high risk non-hospitalised adults in the community with COVID.  They need to be given within FIVE days of having a positive COVID test. 

Where treatment with an nMAB is contraindicated or not possible, eligible individuals may be offered a COVID antiviral as an alternative.

If you develop COVID-type symptoms AND test positive for COVID infection AND you meet the criteria as having additional health issues, you will be contacted by the central hub in Nottingham to offer community treatment.

COVID-19 Important Notice:
