United Kingdom: good to know

  • What visitors pay. In England, NHS services for diagnosing and treating sexually transmitted infections, and A&E (emergency) care, are free to all overseas visitors.
  • PEP in this country. PEP is free on the NHS for people who meet the guidelines. Go to a sexual health or HIV clinic first; at weekends or out of hours, hospital A&E (emergency) departments can start it. It must be started within 72 hours.
