LGBTQ+

Sexual Health Hertfordshire is available to everyone regardless of their ethnicity, gender, age or sexual orientation. 

Our service aims to offer an inclusive and confidential service to all LGBTQ+ individuals.  

Sexual Health Hertfordshire offers a full Sexual Health screening service including tests for Hepatitis B and C as well as vaccinations against Hepatitis B. We can provide information, advice and support covering a range of subjects. This can include contraception, safer sex and risk reduction. We also have good links with local drug and alcohol services (e.g. chemsex, needle exchange) and the community HIV Support Service.

Sexual Health Hertfordshire has also partnered with Change Grow Live - Spectrum Drug and Alcohol Recovery Services, providing support and harm minimisation advice to chemsex users. To refer yourself or someone else into CGL for further support, please fill in the referral form provided on CGL's website.
