STD Clinic
Sexual health is an important part of overall health. It means in the first place the absence of
disease and infections but also covers well-being, the ability to control fertility and to have
children and the ability to enjoy fulfilling relationships free from discrimination.
Worldwide, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the most common causes of
disease and are an increasing cause of ill health. Apart from the initial symptoms and
discomfort, they may result in long-term health problems such as infertility, ectopic
pregnancies and genital cancers. In Ireland, rising STI rates have increased the level of
concern in this area among health professionals, the government and the public.
In our medical centre we provide confidential screening, treatment and follow-up for all STDs
and genital conditions except HIV treatment, which will be initiated in a specialized HIV
clinic.
