Confidential. And nobody will lecture you.

What you can come here for

• Testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections: gonorrhoea, chlamydia, trichomonas, syphilis, herpes, warts.
• HIV testing, with counselling before and after, and treatment or onward referral if it is positive.
• Hepatitis B and C: testing, vaccination against hepatitis B, and management.
• Genotype and sickle cell screening: the single most useful test two Nigerians can do before marrying.
• Contraception, including emergency contraception.
• Pre-marital screening: ₦21,000 for men, ₦25,000 for women, booked individually so each person gets their own result and their own private conversation about it.
• Discharge, itching, ulcers, lumps, warts and pain: in anyone.
• Erectile dysfunction and painful sex.
• Cervical screening and HPV, including the vaccine.
• Care after sexual assault: see below.

Come in if

• Discharge that has changed in colour, smell or amount.
• Burning or pain when passing urine.
• Sores, ulcers, blisters, lumps or warts in the genital area.
• Itching or a rash that will not settle.
• Pain during sex, or bleeding after it.
• Lower abdominal pain, in a woman, with or without fever.
• Pain or swelling in a testicle.
• You had sex without a condom with someone whose status you do not know.
• A partner has told you they have an infection.
• You are planning to marry and have not done genotype and screening.
• You simply want to know your status. That is a complete reason on its own.

Genotype, before anything else

If you are Nigerian and thinking about marriage, this is the test that matters most. Two people who are both AS have a one-in-four chance with every pregnancy of a child with sickle cell disease. Knowing before you are emotionally committed gives you choices; finding out at an antenatal booking gives you very few.

• AA: no sickle gene.
• AS or AC: a carrier. You are well, but it matters who you have children with.
• SS, SC: sickle cell disease, which needs lifelong care.

Bring your partner and do it together if you can. If one of you has been tested somewhere else years ago, repeat it — mislabelled and misreported genotype results are depressingly common, and this is not a result to take on trust.

Prices

What happens at the visit

1. A private conversation. You will be asked direct questions about sex because the answers change which tests are right, not because anyone is curious.
2. Examination and swabs if relevant, explained first, chaperone available.
3. Blood tests where needed. HIV testing always comes with a conversation before and after, whatever the result.
4. Treatment, often started the same day.
5. A conversation about telling partners, and practical help with how.

After sexual assault

If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, please come in. You do not have to have decided whether to report it to the police, and you do not have to explain yourself to anyone at reception, you can simply say you need to be seen urgently.

• Come as soon as you can. Some medicines that prevent HIV work only if started within 72 hours, and emergency contraception works best early.
• If you can, do not bathe or change clothes before you come, but if you already have, that is completely fine and you should still come.
• You choose what happens next. Treatment, testing, evidence collection and reporting are separate decisions and you can accept any of them and decline the rest.
• Someone can stay with you throughout.

None of this was your fault, whatever the circumstances were. Book an appointment, or call the line and say only that you need to be seen today.
