About

Belfast's public sexual health clinic is where people with symptoms are sent, and the Public Health Agency names GUM clinics as a place to get PEP; phone before you go to check services.

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.

Services

Full STI check — Yes

Chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis (usually with HIV) in one visit.

The Public Health Agency describes testing at GUM clinics in general, not this clinic specifically.

Seen with symptoms — Yes

Will examine and treat if you have symptoms, not only screen.

The Public Health Agency says people with symptoms should be tested at a GUM clinic rather than with a home kit.

Treatment on site — Yes

Antibiotics or injections given at the clinic.

The Public Health Agency says any treatment provided at a GUM clinic is free.

PEP (after HIV exposure) — Yes

Emergency 28-day medicine; must start within 72 hours.

The Public Health Agency says PEP comes from emergency departments and GUM clinics and links to this service. Clinic hours are limited; out of hours go to an emergency department.

PrEP — start here — Yes

Can prescribe PrEP, including to visitors.

The Rainbow Project says health-service PrEP requires being a Northern Ireland resident.

Cost

Service	Who	Cost
All services	Everyone	Free The Public Health Agency says the consultation, tests and treatment at GUM clinics are free. Northern Ireland's charging regulations for people not ordinarily resident exempt treatment for sexually transmitted infections and for HIV, so visitors are not charged, unless someone has travelled to Northern Ireland specifically for that treatment.

Prices are shown in the local currency as stated by the source on the date shown. “Consultation” is often charged separately from tests.

United Kingdom: good to know

What visitors pay. Northern Ireland has its own rules for visitors. The government's nidirect site says visitors do not pay for treatment in an emergency department, but that other treatment, including clinic and outpatient appointments, may be charged unless an exemption applies. It does not mention sexual health clinics.

PEP in this country. The Public Health Agency says PEP is available from hospital emergency departments and sexual health (GUM) clinics, not from GPs, and must be started as soon as possible and within 72 hours. The Rainbow Project adds that emergency departments are open around the clock and take walk-ins, while GUM clinics have limited hours.
