Sexual health clinics in South Africa
Listings in South Africa are mostly private GP practices and a private laboratory that publish cash prices, plus non-profit clinics that offer HIV and STI testing. None of them says outright whether short-term visitors are accepted, so ask before you go. UK government travel advice says private care is of a very high standard but can be expensive.

- What visitors pay
The UK government's travel advice says there is no healthcare agreement between the UK and South Africa, that private medical care is of a very high standard but can be expensive, and that visitors should have travel health insurance and funds to cover treatment. Private services listed here publish cash prices. In Johannesburg, Lister Clinic quotes R650 to R700 for a consultation and a walk-in laboratory charges R168 for an HIV blood test. In Cape Town, a private GP practice charges R690 to R950 for a consultation, with laboratory tests billed separately. At a public clinic, ask what a visitor pays.
