NUAA and Sydney Sexual Health Clinic have joined together to launch a new service at NUAA for NUAA’s members and NSP users. It is a fast, free, confidential service that tests for sexually transmitted infections chlamydia and gonorrhoea. To access the service you don’t need to make an appointment or have a Medicare card, just call in during NUAA’s open hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 11am-4.30pm.

NUAA was approached by Sydney Sexual Health Service to open an outreach service because of concern over the increase in new infections of chlamydia and gonorrhoea. The increasing new infections rates are of concern as these infections often have no symptoms but are easily treatable only requiring two pills or one injection. Unfortunately  if these infections are left untreated they can have devastating health implications. Chlamydia if untreated can lead to infertility in women and gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

If you want more information about STI’s or the new outreach service you can call in a talk to NUAA staff member or you can call the Sydney Sexual Health Clinic and speak to a health nurse on 1800 451 624.

Sexual health is very much needed to stay healthy.I think not having proper education about sexual health is the major problem in sexual health.So fantastic information is available here on your site.Thanks for sharing this information.
