Why you might feel comfortable here
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.

Italy: good to know
- PEP in this country. Italy works to a 48-hour window for PEP, prescribed by a specialist after a risk assessment. None of the Palermo sources read names a PEP service; go to a hospital emergency department (Pronto Soccorso) as soon as possible, or in the morning to the infectious diseases centre at the Policlinico.
Emergency number: 112
