7 October 2003 Terrence Higgins Trust offers sexually transmitted infection testing in Coventry | ![]() |
Terrence Higgins Trust in Coventry are now able to offer GU services from their town centre office. The GU nurse can test for HIV, syphilis and chlamydia as well as offering friendly advice to anyone worried about their sexual health.
Jackie Redding, Regional Manager of Terrence Higgins Trust Midlands says:” This service is aimed at any one who feels they should go to a GU clinic but maybe reluctant to do so. Some people are put off by hospitals or clinics and we are offering an alternative. We would encourage anyone who is worried they may have been at risk of HIV, syphilis or chlamydia, or who maybe displaying symptoms to come in and test.”
The new service will run every Wednesday from 1pm - 5pm and may be extended to an evening session if demand dictates. You can just drop in or make an appointment by calling THT Midlands in Coventry on 024 7622 9292.
