Why you might feel comfortable here

Community-led / LGBTQ+-run — Yes

Run by Queensland Positive People, a peer-led organisation of people living with HIV; testing is done by trained peers.

This clinic doesn’t advertise itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. Most clinics don’t, so this isn’t a sign that it’s unwelcoming. If you’ve been, tell us how you were treated.
